A recent realisation has come about after having new photos taken a few weeks ago. I felt it was time to re-shoot photos that capture not only the happy, smiley and "out there" side of me, but also my feminine, softer side. When I saw some of the images on the day, my initial response was, "I won't be putting those up!" Of course I was curious as to why that was my first response, and it came down to shaming and inhibiting my beauty. That I'm not allowed to see myself that way or accept my own beauty because it's wrong, stuck-up and something that ‘I’m not’ but others are. I celebrate and acknowledge others’ beauty often, but when it’s come to my own, I limit it, ‘tone it down’ and have shame stories around it. It's been a helpful realisation and one that I can now be in the practice of accepting more and more as I allow my feminine side to further emerge. It’s been one giant journey coming back to my feminine nature and observing the layer upon layer of stories I’ve had around why it’s not safe to be feminine. And so the evolution of Self continues ... Thank you to @animaidentity @lifebyaaron @tredallas @ladydrewniak for being the best on ground 📸 #katjohn #zerofks #feminineenergy
