Little share and response to a Q

Hello friends! 

Hope you are having a beautiful day. I wanted to make this video response to a Q from a lovely member of our little community here.

Sharing their comment here for context: “I wanted to comment here on something in your stories, I did respond in a message but I'm pretty sure you won't seeing and I would like to understand this if you have the time.  In regards to white people not using certain words, I'm not sure I understand this, is it to say that as white people we are not allowed to find value in others cultures? It seems to me a way to draw more lines between us.  As a human am I not allowed to find a word that resonates with me and use it? Can we not share something that has benefited our lives with others because it did not originate from someone of our race? I find this so confusing. I'm happy to be wrong of course.  I just don't see how drawing lines brings us together.”

As I feel a lot can be lost in written communication I wanted to make a video response so you can feel more the energy I want to share on topics like this.

The bottom line is I will never tell you what to say or what not to say. (Aside from obvious harassment, racism, sexism, ableism I.e intentionally hurting someone.) All I every will share is what I am able to from my path and practice. 

Personally I would love to see an openness to contemplation on nearly every topic,  but ultimately our path are always our own and I only want to be supportive, approachable, and respectful while I navigate my own.

Hope this video helps to see how I feel, but is in no way to tell you how to feel, what to say, how to say it, nothing like that. I’m only sharing my perspective and experience. 💜

The way I look at language shifting is more of  finding My Own Voice in it all. Shifting from Namaste to I Bow to the Divine We Share, for example, feels really good to me. But I don’t mean to inhibit anyone else’s connection to the words that feel best to them. I certainly do not wish to draw lines, but more so encourage us to just think on things and see if there is a fit that resonates more.

From a more astrological approach, we are in a phase of complete redesign of foundations, and words and language are such pieces of foundation imho (perhaps because of my Mercury/communication ruled chart).

Sending you love and warmth and thank you so much for this Q. Hope the vid quality isn’t too bad- I was in the middle of running errands and getting my hands dirty repotting some plants. 🌱😇🙏

Much love for a beautiful day. ☀️

Warmth,

Jillian
