The oracle card “Don’t dim to fit in” from Rebecca Campbell’s Oracle deck Work Your Light inspired me to write this blog today, with the oracle card meaning. To remind It is time to stop dimming your light to accommodate someone else’s smallness or their insecurities.

It is time to stop dimming your light to accommodate someone else’s smallness or their insecurities. We are all born to shine big and bright. This doesn’t mean it comes from the space of ego, instead a space of humbleness, purity of love and truth.

When you stop dimming your light to the world and let your true self be seen, you attract those soul people, the people who just get you, your kindred spirits, and your tribe will be revealed. Your relationships also becomes more enriched because you show ALL of you. This is the ONLY way long lasting intimacy is built.

When you live in your truth, in living from your soul, the energy that you send out is the energy that you will receive. You attract what you shine. And when you radiate, you attract.

If someone makes you want to retract, notice, and slowly back away; they are not for you and you are not for them. Better yet, find it within yourself to expand and shine your light anyway.

Flowers don’t open and close according to who is walking by. They open and show their beauty regardless.

If you’re not living in your truth, if you are not embodying it, if your truth is only something that you keep inside of you, that I do not manifest in my daily life, then how can you expect to attract + receive anything your soul desires?

And it’s not enough to just know it and say those self worth affirmations like “I am the light”…no…. you have to believe it, embody it, feel it in your bones + build it inside, to ground down.

If others don’t want to be around you, or you make them uncomfortable, it’s because you are shining light on the fact that they are dimming to fit in. The truth is sometimes authentic light will reflect the places of another’s inauthenticity and where they are not being truthful to themselves.

By choosing to shine bright you may just inspire them to turn on their light too. Or not. Keep your light on anyway.

This doesn’t mean you have to be liked by everyone, the truth is you’re probably won’t if you start to shine your authentic light. But this is where your inner strength comes into it.

Hiding pieces of you to make others feel more comfortable has been a protective mechanism to be liked and in the end it just ends up hurting your soul.

But The relationships that are meant to last will adapt to the change in energy. Others won’t because they were likely born under the proviso of ‘I love you, as long as you don’t shine brighter than me.’

That’s OK, not all people are meant to be in your life forever. But the lessons they teach us can still live on.

So…How are you dimming your light in order to fit in?
