Spirituality isn’t just what you see online. It’s not a one size fits all approach where you mold yourself into a certain way of “being” or a certain list of to do’s in order to feel the divine connection that is running through our veins.
I have always known that I am here for a deeply spiritual experience but I just never felt like I fit into what I saw being shared on social media in the spiritual community. And as my spiritual “gifts” have evolved into so much more than I have ever expected - unraveling a whole new level of knowing that there is more to us and this world than we see, the way spirituality looks on me looks different than I see in the online space.
I know I can’t be alone in this so I want to share my experience to give you freedom to find your own flavor of spirituality too.
Although I certainly don’t feel “normal” - I look like a “normal” woman, but even in the depths of my spiritual journey I have never felt called to sit naked in a forest, to only wear clothing made in Bali, wear feathers in my hair, take ayahuasca in order to know the divine, attend a festival where I free myself through somatic dance, worshiping altars or even in the realms of organized religion like Christianity (more to come on that btw!) - etc..etc….we have all seen the social medias I am referencing and the thing is I LOVE THAT FOR THEM. Truly, if it’s their truth, I do…but it’s not me. It wouldn’t be my truth.
At times, I have felt the pull of my ego try to make myself look more spiritual so that people could see on the outside what I feel on the inside but that’s the thing - it’s my ego that wants people to see all of me. My soul? She wants people to FEEL my depth through my energy, through my voice, through my resonance - not through my appearance.
My spirituality is grounded in my everyday life, in my inner world. It’s on the meditation mat when I connect to a universe far bigger than me, it’s in my daughters eyes as I re-experience life through her, it’s in the sun setting over the ocean waves, it’s the certainty on my heart when everything is falling apart but I know it’s for my greater good, it’s when the messages that are so much greater than my own knowing flow through me, it’s listening to the pings of my soul’s whispers and my connection with my spirit guides.
It’s the small moments where I feel Source running through my veins. Right here in my everyday life - spirituality isn’t just a piece of me, it forms my entire existence but it’s grounded (sometimes lol) in a more modern approach . An approach that feels like it’s truly me. An approach that I think is actually where the collective is headed. An approach that we need more people modeling in the world so that we don’t discredit our extreme desire to know that Source/God/Universe is one with all of us - simply because we think we don’t “look the part.” or even more so, so that you don’t try to turn yourself into someone you are not just to “honor” your spirituality.
I know deep in my bones that a small part of my purpose is to remind women like YOU that you can be deeply spiritual and have it look completely different than what you think it needs to look like. You can connect to the divine, you can embody your soul’s essence and so much more - however that looks for you and your soul.
Spirituality is about meeting yourself deeper everyday - and in turn that will usually lead you to a deep inner knowing that we are all connected to something far greater than Self. That you have direct access to Source/God/Universe (and so much more) - that by simply existing you are a living, breathing spiritual being who came to this earth to (re)discover their divine essence and live out their truth…even if you love things that people label as “not spiritual.”
I hope Source(d) can be a space for you to remember her - your essence. And not only to remember her but to embody her uniqueness - the you that is exactly who you came here to be and not the copy and paste version of what you see online.
Your essence is sacred, it’s unique, it’s deeply spiritual - and your journey to embodying her is going to be so unique for you.
So…if you dropped all the beliefs you had around what it means to be spiritual - what would spirituality look like for you?
