“I left nothing unsaid.”
This is the phrase that came to me this week in a future-self meditation I did for the new moon in Leo.
Do you have any practices you like to engage in around times, seasons, or planetary markers to check in with yourself? I’d love to hear about it!
In this meditation, provided by the CHANI app, I saw myself on my last day on Earth, surrounded by books and loved ones. At first, I almost recoiled from the guided visualization when it suggested visiting your last day on earth since I have no interest in knowing when/where my last day will be. But then, I just let that go and let the experience take me on the journey anyway.
And before the prompt even came to ask what was most important to my future self… I heard, “I left nothing unsaid.”
Rang straight like a bell and has stuck with me ever since.
So, naturally, my curiosity started brewing…
What does this mean: to leave nothing unsaid?
And what does it mean for me, specifically?
I have some ideas.
In leaving nothing unsaid…
I finish all the books in my heart in this life.
I tell the people I love how much I love them and appreciate their presence in my life. Often.
I communicate my newfound boundaries clearly and kindly, knowing that my needs matter, too.
I know my voice has an impact—it’s safe and okay for me to speak up.
I speak from my heart when love wants to come through.
I trust that what’s on my heart to share is what’s perfect in that moment.
And I’m supposed to be a writer. Literally… That’s what I’m here for.
Anything else is just the cherry on top.
In this meditation, I was at peace. I was at peace with what I created. I knew I created and wrote and put to the page so many stories that help, heal, and entertain others. Reminding people of their potential, the light and inner child within, and the magic that can be found in the everyday.
I truly had the sense that I left nothing unsaid. I said everything I needed to. I told all the stories I needed to. I told all the stories in my heart and thumping in my womb (a healer told me that once). I helped to create stories that expanded beyond the page, even. My words healed, transformed, and inspired me as I created them—just as I hoped and trusted they would heal, transform, and inspire others as well.
I’m also willing to explore all the ways “to leave nothing unsaid” will show up in my experience.
I suppose this is the mantra to guide me right now… So, that’s where my priorities need to be.
To leave nothing unsaid.
Does this statement strike anything for you?
What would it mean to you if you were to “leave nothing unsaid”?
Does it mean to speak nothing but your truth for the rest of your days?
Does it mean to pen every story, song, poem, or other creation that deigns to cross your mind?
Does it mean speaking up when something is wrong, not right, or disrespect has been done?
Does it mean to speak your mind honestly when someone asks what you think? Or even when they don’t ask?
Does it mean to use your voice for others who can’t speak for themselves or those who could use a boost of additional voices?
Does it mean expressing your love and appreciation in more ways than just words?
And could it possibly mean, saying no more than you need to so you can also listen to what’s also being “unsaid” yet communicated anyway?
Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to ask yourself:
What is it I want to feel at the end of the day?
Is this something you’d like to explore with me? I invite you to chime in in the comments. <3
