How to Be Vulnerable | The Key to Blissful, Authentic Living

How safe do you feel being vulnerable? The thought of vulnerability alone can provoke one’s deepest vulnerabilities.

Since it is usually associated with exposure, vulnerability may be seen as an unsafe mode of submission to uncertainty and the dangers behind it. Truly, vulnerability is the result of being so unapologetically authentic that our presentation to the world mirrors the inner world completely.

The lowering of defensive guards like lies and false masks worn to appease others is unwelcomed by the mind, as each one was created as a shield of self-worth. Vulnerabilities are those things hidden from a public image to preserve one’s comfort and prevent the pain of social rejection.

However, social acceptance pursued to avoid personal truths creates a stack-up of emotional vulnerabilities and even greater pain due to the lack of vulnerability to one’s own feelings.

To be vulnerable is to embody the sacred feelings and beliefs that characterize one's individualism; to honor the depths of soul that have faced rejection; to allow negative emotions to be expressed and integrated with self-compassion; to dissolve all forms of denial; to experience truth with dignity and to be led by honesty; to accept the unacceptable; to allow healing to transpire in its various ways; and to allow love to become the driving force of reality.

Love dissolves fear, and without fear, the stigma of vulnerability ceases to exist.

Toxic people have been more easily weeded out of my life by me being vulnerable and authentic. At first I felt shame for crying with these people etc but their responses of shaming me, invalidating me and putting me down revealed their disorder over time. I attracted emotionally healthy people that aren’t afraid of my emotional life ❤Today I keep my circle small and healthy 🙌 no need to engage with people who don’t “get” me and accept me for who I am and all that I am! Love this topic ❤

[carolbelieu]

I learned a hard lesson when I opened up to vulnerability recently, and remembered why I kept my true self hidden for many many years. The person that I opened up to tried to take advantage of my vulnerability, but I was able to recognize it and removed myself from that relationship immediately. At first, I was angry, but quickly realized they gave me a gift. I can survive vulnerabilty and honor that person whom I thought was doing me a disservice but actually allowed me to truly see I am ok. I can continue to learn from you, Gabi. I have to listen to your video's more than once, there is so much content to absorb and I need a skinny minute to process all that I am hearing from you. Thank you.

Gabi, wow, how do you know all this? On point to the word, spiritual warrior!

[loveanotherpeace]

At first your videos triggered me and I almost turned them off. I couldn't grasp your talking style. Now I understand why I was triggered.
You are completely empowered in your Truth. Thank you. Raising Vibrations

Story of my life. The lies run deep intertwined with victim consciousness. Slowly learning to feel the deeply repressed feelings and let them out. One layer at a time I’ll/I’m finding myself.

[pkeslerp]

I agree! It’s difficult for most relationships, for both partners to be honest, transparent and vulnerable with each other and accept each other.

[clintborg]

Absolutely spot on 👌 and exactly how I've been feeling today . So rare to find people who can stay true to what the really believe without following the crowd. I know this because I've been guilty of it in the past and feel much better once I became more honest

[dalesco]

I can tell from experience that choosing to be more authentic in your relationships and in your interactions with the world, for example in your job(s), will eventually put you in a state of survival. When you go against the tide, there always are consequences. Once in a state of survival, you must face your instincts. So I'm not saying not to do it, but be aware that it isn't going to be a walk in the park.

Gabi, let me first thank you for all the hard work it is putting out these high quality of content videos!

I’d like to ask you about childhood trauma. My wife and I raised our children under the Christian fundamentalism common to the Midwest USA….where everything is about judgement. Our children are now young adults and have spouses and our daughter has two children. Do you have any content or advice about how to help our children and perhaps grandchildren heal from the damage absorbed growing up under the harsh judgement indicative of being in a Christian fundamentalist family?
I feel like when one is raised to believe that we are born to be judged that one can’t help but feel inadequate…..I had no idea the very thing I was teaching in my home was forcing my children to build coping mechanisms that would in turn lead to a huge resistance to spirituality so just me talking about anything spiritual triggers those old feelings of inadequacy….any help would be greatly appreciated!

It’s funny I am all over on this topic. I have one person in my life I can be completely vulnerable with. Well 2. Everyone else I have found that I can mostly share my vulnerability/ truth with them but I have to speak to them based on what they can accept. So I’m being vulnerable up to the point that the hearer can accept. My saving grace is I can be 100% vulnerable with the creator 24/7. And that has been the case for years, because he does answer back. ( could be my higher self too ). Because of this I have been able to become more my real self than ever. It’s a mix of my younger and my wiser self. Along with a major dose of the real me and who I am becoming. Being vulnerable in this way has helped me to learn so much about myself and see so many things I needed to release. But I realize I probably still need to take that further. And ya I will need to lose some of these less than vulnerable friends. But I’m ok with that, thanks to you Gabi ❤, I realize this is part of my journey. Thanks for your insights!!

[rhythmark]

Love you and your content!
Thanks for being you!

[kyledevane]

Seems like I get attacked for being vulnerable. I know it's just agitated ego's. I love the lesson. Beautiful great work G.

[wholeyghost]

Vulnerability can be intrinsically tied to success in failure. I for one am not interested in adding that up at this moment;o)Satisfactions are the results of spells with a duration brought on by situations interpreted as successes by a persona are they not? I don’t know, but I think there are such things as healthy personas. You have your sovereign internal persona that may only be known by you and what ever aspects of your higher self, or over soul one may allow communion with…. And then there are the personas one presents to the environmental social dynamics of nature, public, audience, groups, clicks, families, individuals, & individuals in private. These may be psychological costumes that may have their own particular masks that protect, nourish, and evolve one’s sovereignty of personal truth, mystique, and overall wonder.

Ultimately thought provoking content lending to a prize trigger of introspection. Thanks for investing in yourself. To our mutually personified health, and wellbeing~
