The spiritual path

The spiritual path can be one of wonder awe, joy, light, love wonder and all things magical. It can also be a journey of trip hazards, chaos, inner reflections, inner work, letting go, and facing your shadow stories. There is no bypassing when you walk the spiritual, and metaphysical path honestly and fully.

For more than 25 years I have walked this journey with all the ups and downs and the longer I do the deeper the shadow stories become and the more you are asked to let go and trust.

This is not a journey for those that want a rapid fix and it's not a path where you hand over your power to another.

This journey is solely yours to travel you can always ask for help and at times you do need guidance and help, but no one can release or rewrite a shadow story or rewire the feeling of an emotional event for you.

There is no shadow without light, there is no day without night, and there is no love without heartache bitterness or rejection. You are the only one who can do the work and if you are not fully committed in the beginning that’s okay as long as you are serious about holding space for yourself using the tools that work for you and not expecting anyone else to fix things for you. You are the one that has to be doing the work.

This inner journey of awakening, that is now also being called ascension is tough and after all these years in some aspects it can get tougher and in others, it’s a bit easier. My advice to you is to find the tools that you resonate the most with and use them.

Let your body and energy be the guide, not your head if you don’t feel it deeply then try it the way you do feel it. An example of this is when you are faced with an irrational fear triggered or activated by something then let yourself feel the emotions, feel into where it feels in your body, how it feels and then let the feeling and sense rise to give you a knowing or a clear image feeling of when or where this irrational fear came from it may take you a few goes to get to the original event but you will get there, it helps to journal out things images sense feelings when you do this its like mind mapping it gains you some clarity. From that point, you can apply the tools you use to begin the releasing rewriting or integrating process. some of the tools I use that help with this is, meditation, tapping, writing, journaling, movement stretching dancing some sometimes just imagining I’m held by my guide and have the sun streaming into me.

The big difference I have found for me is the very first step to anything is making sure I am fully in my body.

What do I mean?

I mean not trying to rationalise and think my way out of this to physically feel my energy anchored in my body and be looking at anything from my body/heart-mind, not my rational thought space.

This can be tricky at first but once you do it you will understand the difference, you may need to find a psychic healer or someone who can hold you as you learn your own way of doing this but it's worth the time and effort. Any practice that takes you out of your head is a great tool to use, Yoga is fantastic so is breathwork, forgiveness, finding gratitude for the little things and learning self-care all play their part in this spiritual journey.

I have found the longer I love and live this spiritual life the more human I feel but in a deeply open accepting way.

It may sound cliché but love really is the way forward it is the answer.

Carrying around, hate fear, revenge, pain, and untrue self-talk is only giving away your power usually to someone who doesn't even know you are constantly remembering an event from decades earlier, the only person that is being drained is you. This is the power you hold it's your story and under it, all is your true essence waiting to be released from its hiding space and to come home to the full presence of you.

I could share stories of the things I’ve experienced but that’s not the point of this.

The point is that we all have our own unique energy and experiences they may be similar to each other but the way we experience them isn’t the same each of us has our own personality and our family traits and ways of seeing things. This is what makes us individual and unique. Our experience is uniquely our way of perceiving through whatever lens we perceive through.

So if you are on the spiritual journey then I honour you for doing the work and giving yourself permission to shift and change things, to do things your way.

If you are starting your spiritual journey then please be aware of the training you do and the people you work with not everyone works from the highest purest energy they all have intentions for their programs and those intentions may not be aligned with your highest good.

And if like me you have walked this path for many decades then I am grateful to you for also being the light bringer and helping to add to the changing perceptions of this awakening world.

We are all here to contribute in some way to this new changing world from fear to love we will all be asked to add to the mix of life.

This is one person's reflection and insights and as there are many people in this world there are also many insights. Please take what resonates with you and leave the rest.

From my heart to yours may you have a beautiful heart presence week filled with joy and connection.
