The Story of Sleeping Beauty: My Spiritual Awakening

My most favorite depiction of myself has to be, Sleeping Beauty.

Princess Aurora lived with three fairies in the forest. She lived a pleasant and well... peasant life. Well hidden and kept a secret. As a child, my favorite scene that I would play on repeat was when the fairies where making her birthday cake and how it would topple over sideways. Forget the prince, forget the dance, forget the secret, or the princess. The fairies baking the cake. That was it. For many birthdays, since a child to... well I still keep that tradition going and in my heart for some things never die or don't deserve to. I would wish to my own fairies for the same wish each year, like they were baking me a special cake. So much to the point I remember the first year when I was asked "What do you want?". That voice all happy, kind, and charitable towards a small little girl. I told the voice (him) what I wanted and blessed it with my heart and a kiss and then next year I was asked the same until the years passed by and I would simply say "You know what I want" with a gleaming and sensitive smile. 

Of course, some other scenes struck out to me. Like her singing and dancing with the prince in the forest. Singing about how she already knew him once upon a dream. As I had had multiple dreams of a boy I would be with. However, I was mostly just Aurora singing pretty and dancing softly in the forest. Head in the clouds, in what seemed like a fairy dream. Dancing with the animals who dressed themselves up as a boy for me to dance with. In the movie the boy became real and I think mine did too. Still in my heart, I'm dancing and singing in that forest with all my furry friends. As I am being seen that scene with Snow White having to run into the dark woods forest, falling down and crying her heart out after almost being murdered. Those dark eyes haunting and evil until they broke through the mist and you could see, they weren't so scary after all. Those were her furry friends too. Coming to comfort her and befriend her. Sit by her side to be with her, and love her. How she would sing and they would sing with her. I guess hearts break and they fall but love is never missed or annulled. 

Going through my spiritual awakening, 

They started to call me. Sleeping Beauty and Aurora. The amount of signs I got for Aurora were marveling. It had been years since I bought a toy and I randomly bought a stuffed dog and the brand? Made by a company called Aurora. I even lived in a town called Aurora. Poetic huh? Spiritual Awakening dear, Aurora. But atlas, my sleeping beauty, not to be disturbed in her peaceful slumber. There are many stories like this. Snow White in that glass box resting with flowers in her hands clutched over her chest. To be seen by her dwarves and cared for. What they meant by that is. Don't scare her, don't spook her, you are not allowed to touch her. She is sleeping and you will give her a fright so we protect her like this until she can wake up again. All my furry friends and dwarves and whatever friendly spirits I have on my side and on my team, love and care for me. They think me oh so pretty and family. They even try to wipe the tears from my face and ask me... "Why are you crying?". I had always told myself it felt like I had a princess in my heart. Who knew that was leading me somewhere? Adrift in my dream, spell, or sleep living in that forest.

They gave me a vision of Aurora when she pricked her finger on the spindle and fell asleep. Under a spell waiting for true love's kiss. When I asked the problem or what was going on with me they said, "Sleeping Beauty". When I'd walk around in my day and living my reality. My wake up call was a sweet little, "Oh, Aurora", Oh, sleeping beauty... you have to wake up now. 

I would want to know things or what was happening but they would simply say, sleeping beauty, not to be disturbed in her peaceful slumber. 

I received a download one day and I said... "true love's kiss... it truly does break the spell for everything". That certainly was not a lie, especially spiritually. True Love's kiss could break any spell we were under. All those fairytales. They were more true then we could ever have possibly known. Of course, its not about a prince trying to rescue you. Everyone runs around these days taking it out on society. What have they been telling girls? To wait for a prince? To wait to be saved? As Fiona from Shrek could not wait any longer and got out of that tower and past the dragon herself. Then we have the movie Damsel where she escapes the dragon and restores what had been covered by lies for generations. But all that being said... True love's kiss from Mirror Mirror. Couldn't have been more true. I guess I can explain it to you. True love's kiss isn't someone rescuing you or saving you. It is showing you truth. It is allowing the mist or fog over your own eyes to clear its way. It is healing and health... it is love. Once you see true love or have known actual love, you can see what it is not. Everything falls away and you can begin to hold true and cultivate it within yourself but mostly see how it is still there or have always been there. You were just running from it, afraid of it's touch like the evil eyes in the forest before you could see their true faces. We live in harmony and that can never be taken away and truthfully love given is never a loss. If you had the eyes to see... you would know why to. Love given is the love of you. "Treat yourself and others how you would want to be treated". I guess the hardest spell of them all is not knowing the love you have inside of yourself, for yourself, and for everything else around you. So what is true love to you? To me true love or even the love that comes from me... it is magic, a gift, and is to be honored as such. The essence of your own soul gifted by the creator and of creation. Every little thing and pure moment in space and time. For in love, there is no fear. As fear is shown as unreal.

"If you love a soul more than fame and gold" everything would be clear to you and the song Wild and Free by Brooke Lee 

"Dancing in the rain 'cause she swears it holds magic

In her own world but she's everyone's distraction

She's a midnight sky 'cause her stars don't sleep

Her soul's on fire and her heart's at ease

She's a nowhere train that's bouncing off the sunset

Tracks go on forever, if I had to guess, I'd bet

She's stopping at the ocean, waves painted golden

She tells them all her secrets 'cause she knows that they can hold 'em"

So, oh sleeping beauty, won't you wake up? It's 11:11, make a wish.
