Let’s get right to the point. Treading the path of spirituality, healing, awakening call it what you will, is messy! The path to healing is chaos disguised as clarity.. and its like being smacked left and right incessantly, with no escape hatch.. 

But we are spirit before we were thought, before we were form, and it's what's waiting for us long after we have rejoiced and done with this finite human experience...  Spirit came first, and it’ll outlast everything else you think you are.

A spiritual journey is not an optional path, it’s the norm!   I didn’t make this up, all of esoteric sciences have. Wise old men and women alike have been repeating these truths for centuries. I don't blame you for not having paid attention, I hadn't either for a wild little time. I miss that time of my life when ignorance reigned fondly, what a blissful time of unawareness it was! 

Anyways, the main purpose of spiritual healing is to break down all of the structures, concepts we have soldified in our tiny little heads (there's soooo many of it). All of that starts breaking down, dissolving with guided practices such as meditation, introspection etc. How you may ask? Well we truly start seeing and  all of our ideas  about life just stops making sense. And yet it is a painful process to let go.. Lettting go of those concepts that have dominated our lives, can feel like an actual limb being removed.. again and again.. that’s why this journey isn’t for the faint hearted. 

There is no more escape. You’re to sit and face, all,  that makes no more sense. That sucks. Why would any sane person do that?  Why not douse yourself in substances and just enjoy the ride? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Sadly, that’s not how life works. Why not? Well, because old age, sickness, and death - a dark ride into the oblivion - are the reality of being in this human body.

Old age and sickness will envelope this fragile human body faster than a jet ski breezing through — and not necessarily when you’re nicely old -aged, nah, life’s not that generous. It can come anytime. And then what? How far can you truly run until life catches up… until suffering catches up?

So time is now folks… time is now….. but it’s not all bad news… wait what?  Why did I not lead with the positive sides to this work?  There is something good to be expected too? Yeah my bad, I like to save the best for last.

When old constructs and ideas in our head are deconstructed, and old patterns fade with our conscious effort, something waits for us in the horizon……. beaming clearer more and more each day.. 

Freedom, lightness and joy like nothing we have experienced before. And loads of it, loads and loads of it ….

How do I know? Well, I’ve had my share of treading this path. My pessimistic self - I am self-adorned and proudly hold the title “Queen of Pessimism” - and even this pessimist confirms there is happiness to be found… isn’t that all one requires?

Not convinced? Ok what else is there to be found in this dire path of healing and self awakening. 

Hmmm  life starts happening the way you want it.. desires no longer have such a strong hold on you and there there is this inner satisfaction that lingers more and more each day.. the kind of satisfaction that you get on a gloomy day when you look up to the sky, and wish the warmth of sunlight would pass through, and behold, it does….the sky clears, the sun beams through. Startled and amazed, as you witness this unfolding, your heart knows, you had a part to play in it, like as if you parted the clouds and let the light from this giant ball of fire through. And for a moment you feel almighty, powerful, invincible, a mini creator in your own right,  yet you can’t prove it.

This is the path of authentic spirituality, where you’re rewarded for your courage to face YOU — when you start being led by a divine power, with ample opportunities given to play your control, on both big and small things, so you can feel like a mini god at times too.

So, keep treading the waters, folks — the waves are rough indeed, but guess what? Our spirit’s the ocean… we own the damn thing (:
