This began as a post on one of my social platforms, but then I felt inspired to write more, so here we are.
I was sharing in my post about life altering shifts. Experiences so profound you struggle to find words to describe them. But I will do my best.
Three years ago, I was at a point in life where I was asking the universe for more. Breathwork showed up and at around the same time Reiki and meditation also entered my life. As I began incorporating them into my daily routine, I started to notice changes in myself, and I wanted to continue the practice. I had an experience, a spiritual experience that jolted me awake. A deep feeling and knowing awakened inside me that there was more, more to discover, more to learn, there was so much more. An experience so intense, it changes you forever. And just like that, my life was different. There was no going back now, there was only going forward.

The Hindu goddess Kali has been calling to me lately. The Goddess of Chaos (a.k.a. Creation) coupled with the two Diwali celebrations I recently attended. A festival of lights, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, light over dark, and knowledge over ignorance. Driving me deeper inside myself and higher to connect with source energy. Three years ago, when I had asked the universe for more, the universe gave growth and expansion. Abundance has flowed into so many areas of my life after a considerably chaotic time. Chaos that breeds creation. Through my dedication to my spiritual practices and my connection to source; I began consciously co-creating my experience. I was ready for more expansion.
I have noticed there seems to be a period of rest, of integration, of calm, of hermitting just before another expansion. Like a caterpillar entering into a chrysalis and emerging as a butterfly. A calm before the chaos, then creation. Ready for more, I started incorporating plant medicine into my spiritual practice. Ceremonial Cocoa, a heart expander, vasodilator; warming myself up to more love and connecting to mother Gaia; and Kava, known as the “plant of peace” and the “root of happiness” that works by gently removing blocks that prevent us from accessing a state of inner peace and connection to the deeper mind to understand the priorities of the heart.

I put an intention out to the universe that I was ready for more and boy did it to deliver! Another awakening, while I was attending a sonic activation sound bath; energy healing. It was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Different than last time, yet recognizable as the same feeling. I knew what this was this time and I was grounded. I dove into the experience completely. I felt as though I was being charged by thousands of volts of electricity. It was exhilarating! I could feel my body vibrating, the frequency of the sound and my bodies response to it, the healing. Otherworldly. My cells were repairing themselves rewriting my own DNA. Somatic healing has been a miracle in my life. Tuning into my body, tapping in with source energy, connecting with the earth. FEELING. I emerged from this experience, this awakening with such clarity, certainty, confidence in my direction and purpose; the path ahead, illuminating forward. Finding answers to questions that I did not have before. Everything coming into sharper focus. More growth, more expansion. It reminded me of a philosophical quote I came across three years ago and which resonates with me even deeper now by Wendell Oliver Holmes, Jr. that goes:
.
“A mind that is stretched by new experiences can never go back to its old dimensions.”

Just like the caterpillar that transforms into the butterfly, there is no going back. I am so grateful for the abundance of the universe, the spiritual tools and practices, the plant medicine from mother earth, and the healing in community, that is available to us all. I’m grateful for the connection to the divine and my higher self. All working together in co-creation.
I share all of this to say, if you too are searching for more, ask and it will be given. The universe is listening.
With Love, Light, and Eternal Blessings.
Namaste,
