I love when I find wisdom in song lyrics. Recently I was putting together a playlist for the ecstatic dance group – Wild Embodiment Dance (WE Dance). One of the songs that really spoke to me is “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. Not only is the music uplifting but the words give us permission to be our authentic selves and to be unconcerned that we might not have everything figured out. The song encourages us to enjoy being in the now and reminding us that no one else can live our lives for us. Our experiences are our experiences, and we should take pleasure in those experiences.
The lyrics also urge us to look at each new day as a new book, one that isn’t written yet. This allows us to forget any perceived mistakes or lower frequency experiences and, instead, start fresh each day. In Standing in the Light®, we acknowledge that the perceived mistakes or lower frequency choices may be from different lives, not just our current incarnation. We need to be willing to make a new start every day / every minute of every day for all the baggage and cellular memory from other lives and other dimensions, too. Standing in the Light® has specific clearing and healing techniques that most of you know already. Simply setting the intention to clear all cellular memory of these experiences is a good start. This is an intention that we can set every day just as we are picking up the quill to write our new experiences.
Here are the Spotify link and the full lyrics to “Unwritten”. I hope you are inspired by it, too.

“Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield
Songwriters: Natasha Bedingfield, Danielle Brisebois, Wayne Rodrigues
I am unwritten
Can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
I’m just beginning
The pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah
Oh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines yeah, yeah
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can’t live that way oh, oh
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
