Titles of Our Truth
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
- William Shakespeare
One of the most powerful things our parents give us is our name at birth. What about the name(s) we choose for ourselves?
Recently, I had the occasion to choose a new name for myself for my role as a Founding Mother of Divina Rising, a “Next Level Wellness Community for Conscious, Heart-Centered Women.”
In the past, I’ve had little attachment to titles and names, yet somehow, this seemed really important. I’d been asked what role I’d envision myself playing in addition to my participation as a Sound Healer. What immediately emerged was the importance of holding space with Love for whatever would emerge.
I bandied about with those I trust what the possibilities might be. Creatrix. Priestess. Shaman. Yet none of those seemed right.
I was reminded of when I lived in Paris. When asked what I do, I would reply, “Je suis un petite chef.” (Translation: I am a little chef.) You see, in France, being a chef is a grand tradition. One begins sweeping floors and works one’s way up to prep, assist, and eventually become a true chef in the grand tradition. I feel the same way about words like Shaman and Priestess. There is a lineage to be respected. A gift and talent crafted over time.
Interestingly enough, the name that finally arrived and felt “just right” was “Keeper of the Open Heart.” I thought of my mother. One of the most miraculous things about her, who I am blessed to still be with me, is that she survived Holocaust concentration camps and the ravages of slavery—all with an open heart. My mom often says, “Find beauty even in the darkest places.”
Since I accepted, embraced, and laughed this new name into the world, I have experienced a profound opening, a lightness of being in my own heart. Synchronicity has amplified. Ease and grace even in the most challenging matters has prevailed while ‘Beauty Reigns!’
Let us come together in a circle of shadow and light, love and challenge, to create the world in which we want to live and thrive.
Let’s release blockages, known and unknown, while we revel in the wonder that each of us is a unique work of art.
Let’s clear sacred space together so we may choose what we want to invite in.
I welcome new beginnings and pathways as the Keeper of the Open Heart.
And please always remember how much I love you.
Be in Bliss.
Love, Pamela
