Samskara — The Patterns We Carry

You were born whole.
Untouched.
Unaffected by pain.
Living from pure love and not yet knowing fear.

But then life began to write its story
on the canvas of your skin —
physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Every joy.
Every surprise.
Every act of kindness and acceptance.
Every heartbreak.
Every silence.
Every limit.
Every moment of fear and pain.

Your body remembers it all.

Your nervous system quietly learns
what is safe
and what is not.

Over time, these memories become pathways —
both in your mind
and in your lived experience.
The grooves carved into your nervous system
guide your actions and reactions,
creating the path you walk in life,
shaping every interaction, every decision,
every relationship,
every experience —
often without you even realizing it.

These are your samskaras:
the imprints of your past,
the stories written into your subconscious —
the voice of the super ego,
the silent rules etched into your cells.

These are the patterns that continue to play on autopilot
long after the original moment of imprint has passed.

Some of these samskaras you inherited without knowing —
the unspoken rules of your family,
the weight of generational wounds,
the teachings of religion,
the quiet conditioning of culture,
the silent expectations of society
that are louder than any noise.

And some of them,
you learned through pain.

The survival strategies your younger self created
just to cope with what life was throwing at you
in your most vulnerable, disempowered moments.

These patterns are not your fault.
Even the ones you had a hand in writing into the system.

And more importantly: they are not who you are.

They are simply the walls between:
- Who you truly are
- And who you experience yourself to be.

The thoughts that loop endlessly in your mind.
The ache in your chest before you speak your truth.
Every attempt at making yourself small to keep the peace.
Every time you sacrifice your dreams for survival or comfort.
Every time you attach your self-worth to your net worth.
Every time you believe you’re “too much”
or fear you are “not enough.”
Every moment you’ve felt shame for failing.

Your samskaras are shaping:
- The way you live
- The way you love
- The foundations you build and maintain
- The way you see yourself
- And the way you interact with the world.

But here is the truth about samskaras:

Just because they’ve been in charge until now
doesn’t mean they must define you forever.

You are not destined to repeat
what was done to you.

The moment you become aware of your samskaras,
you gain something more powerful
than insight.

You gain choice.

This is where the work begins —
not with judgment,
not with shame,
not with blame,
not with force,
not from fear…

…but with awareness.
With gentleness.
With acceptance.
With love.

When you learn to love your wounds,
when you finally choose to love yourself
exactly as you are, in this moment —
flaws and all —
you begin the process of setting yourself free.

This is where you start creating
the lived, embodied experience
of the person who has always been inside of you.

Radical Responsibility — Choosing Your Life On Purpose​

 

Your life is your doing.
But it is not your fault.

This is not blame.
This is not shame.
This is freedom.

Because until you see that your choices, your reactions, your patterns —
shaped by things you never consciously chose —
are always creating your reality,
you’ll keep believing someone or something else
has to change before you can.

And that has never been true.
Not in the past.
Not now.
Not ever.
 

The Invitation

You have been creating your life all along —
through every action,
every reaction,
every goal set,
every dream sacrificed,
every overachievement,
every avoidance,
every decision made,
every wish overlooked —
whether you realized it or not.

Radical responsibility is accepting that your choices create your lived experience.
So if you want a different lived experience,
you must make different choices.

This practice gives you something priceless: choice itself.
It creates the space between reaction and response —
a moment where you decide what happens next.

When you step into responsibility for your lived experience,
everything changes.

This is not about blame.
It is about taking back control.
It is about the journey
from victim → victor.

You are writing the story of your life
in every moment.

Radical responsibility gives you back the pen and asks you:

"Are you the hero in this story —
or will you make yourself the victim
of people and circumstances?"

"Will you write the story of your life —
or will you keep reading from a script
that someone else handed you…
always feeling like a part is missing,
and it was never really your story?"
 

Radical Responsibility Requires Courage

Taking radical responsibility is not passive work.
It is courage in motion.

Because the moment you begin choosing for yourself,
you start swimming against the current
of everything that conditioned you to stay small,
quiet,
polite,
palatable.

You stop playing by someone else’s standards
of who you should be,
how much space you’re allowed to take up,
and what dreams are “acceptable” to want.

And this will make you wild.

Not chaotic.
Not reckless.
But wild in the truest sense:
uncontainable, untamed,
no longer tolerable by the systems, stories,
and expectations that wanted to keep you compliant.

Through radical responsibility,
you begin to choose your path —
not the path handed to you by family,
not the one dictated by culture,
not the one written by fear.

This work will ask you to dismantle everything you were taught
about worth, belonging, and power.

And yes, it takes courage.
But in the dismantling,
you meet your freedom.
 

Your Wildness Is Not Negotiable

Wildness is the birthright you return to
when you stop abandoning yourself.

It is the part of you that refuses
to be shaped by someone else’s story.
It is the voice that will not submit
to other people’s comfort.

Wildness is living unedited,
unapologetic,
and whole.

Radical responsibility is how you return to it —
by choosing, again and again,
to act from truth
instead of programming.
 

The Truth

Radical responsibility is not a burden.
It is an act of reclamation.
It is liberation.

Because the moment you realize
you’ve been unconsciously creating your life,
you gain the power to create it intentionally.

You are no longer at the mercy of your past.
You are no longer bound by old rules.
You are no longer waiting for permission
to take up space,
to choose yourself,
to live fully,
wildly,
and unapologetically.

Radical responsibility is where the story shifts.
This is where you stop surviving
and start becoming.

Embodiment — Living the Truth You Remember

​

Awareness is the beginning.
Responsibility is the turning point.
Embodiment is where it becomes a life.

Embodiment means staying in connection with your inner calling, your emotions, and your body — not sometimes, always.
Most of us live dissociated: thinking our lives instead of inhabiting them, moving on autopilot, repeating what’s familiar rather than what’s true.

Embodiment is not a destination.
It is a conscious, lifelong journey — breath by breath, choice by choice — of returning to yourself.

​
 

The Practice​

 

To embody is to come home to yourself in real time:
- to feel what you feel (without abandoning it),
- to listen to the body (without overriding it),
- to align action with truth (without delay).

You create and embody your values, wants, dreams, and goals through practice — not performance.
In each moment, you meet what arises, and you respond from what’s true now

​

Embodiment is where the pillars move:
- You see your samskaras (the imprints and reflexes).
- You choose radical responsibility (response over reactivity).
- You live the choice in your nervous system — through breath, posture, words, boundaries, action.

Insight becomes experience.
Choice becomes character.
Repetition becomes rewiring.
 

Why It Matters

​

Life isn’t lived in theory.
Embodiment is freedom you can feel:
the steadiness in your chest when you speak your truth,
the calm in your breath when fear rises,
the follow-through that turns desire into reality.

This is a journey, not a finish line.
You will drift. You will return.
Again and again, you will come home to the only place you have always belonged: your embodied self.
