Let’s get right to the point. Treading the path of mysticism, 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.
YOGA IS WHEN EVERY CELL OF THE BODY SINGS THE SONG OF THE SOUL.

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. Life isn’t always that generous. It can come anytime. And then what? How far can you truly run until life catches up… until suffering catches up?
So the time is now, folks… the time is now. But it’s not all bad news. When old constructs in the mind begin to dissolve, and outdated patterns fade through conscious effort, something beautiful begins to emerge on the horizon—clearer with each passing day.
Freedom. Lightness. Joy unlike anything experienced before. A quiet inner happiness that grows steadily, even in the midst of uncertainty.
As you walk this path of healing and self-awakening, life starts to unfold differently. Desires loosen their grip, and a deep sense of inner satisfaction begins to linger. Like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds on a gloomy day, clarity appears when you least expect it—yet somehow, you know your courage made space for it.
This is the path of authentic spirituality—where you’re rewarded for the courage to face yourself. Where something greater begins to guide you, and you feel aligned, empowered, and deeply connected to life.
So, keep treading the waters, folks — the waves are rough indeed, but guess what? Our spirit’s the ocean… we own the damn thing (:
