Who Am I?

“I have only this breath and this presence for my wings

and they carry me in my body whatever I do

from one hushed moment to another.”

–David Whyte What I Must Tell Myself

Who Am I?

Who am I who lives here

Above the Earth and below the Heavens?

Who am I, but the one in this moment

And the one I let go of again and again.

Who am I? In this existence

I truly am invisible and invincible.

Who am I—the bud, the blossom,

And the debris.

Boundary is another word for loving me,

And breathing is the only reality.

In Brennan Healing Science we explore our core wound—what is it in me, that embracing this thought or emotion, or letting it go, would cause my death? Our core wound generates a core belief, which is the lie we tell ourselves.

If I believe that I am not enough, then underneath that belief is the reality that I will die if I truly believe that I am not enough. And so I fight for my life to prove it is not so.

Either way out I must die. It is true! I must die to the self that has embodied that belief, discovering the belief, breathing into it, and letting it go.

If I am not enough, then I am living a lie. All are shadows that I must embrace in order to let them go.

“Now let me cast my shadow against life.” –David Whyte This Life
