Seeing Her Self in Full Colour: Featured Client Meghan Genge

From time to time I love to feature the clients and community here at Jamie Ridler Studios. When Megg finished Soul Reflections, she emailed me right away and told me… well, she’ll tell you what she told me. I was so moved that I asked her to share her story here! I hope this invites you to claim your own magic .

What are you creating in the world?

Right now I am trying to create a world that feels like home. I know that sounds selfish and strange, but I know that until I am able to look myself in the face and recognize what I see, I will not be able to give the world everything it needs from me. I have realized recently that an enormous part of my daily living comes from a place of fear and as long as that is how I operate, there is no hope of me ever feeling at home. As dark as that sounds, I feel like this is opening me up in huge ways.

How has Soul Reflections helped?

When I finished Soul Reflections the first thing I did was write to Jamie and tell her she had kicked my *ahem* butt! I had done vision boards before, but the activities Jamie has you do make you go so much deeper than would do on your own. I felt like a part of myself that I had been ignoring took over and completed the board for me. Soul Reflections showed me that I had been living a very grey version of my life. Everything on it sizzles with magic and passion and colour and connection. There is a vitality and a vibrancy that comes from it that really surprised me. Where was that in my real life and why did my own board scare me a little bit? As I said to Jamie, it was a real kick to the system.

What have you learned about yourself?

I have learned that the parts of ourselves that we think we have hidden the best (or have forgotten about) are the ones that need our attention the most. Raised a good girl in a religious family, I thought I hid my interest in magic and spirituality well. Looking back I know that my family actually would have fully supported me, but for some reason I was ashamed of (or maybe scared of) the brightest, most passionate bits of myself. When I bought SARK books I would sit in my bedroom with my back up against the door so no one would catch me reading. I bought tarot cards and then hid them in my closet thinking nobody would notice. (HA! My brother bought me a spells book one birthday. Talk about noticing!) I know now that I was scared. For some reason – who knows what – I was scared of myself. I was scared to let go, to be bright and full and loud and magic and dark. I was scared of my own power. In many ways I still am. This exercise reminded me that all of it is still there and that I want it back.
