But let me finish on this so it once again doesn’t sound ANY glossier or spiritually exciting than it actually is. Right now, all that feels like is anxiety and low mood. (With some awe and like wow life moments thrown in).
I am not looking for pity or rescuing. Anxiety has been a life-long companion for me, and for once, I don’t want to heal her. I want to hear her.
I thought my spiritual awakening was when I was 27. Practices had their place, but turns out that was for the most part spiritual bypassing.
My spiritual awakening is now.
And it’s much less instagrammable.
And it is humbling.
“Your humbleness will let you discern the truth
Your humbleness is your protection
Darkness counts on your arrogance, pride, greed and fear”
~ Caroline Myss.
I want to add that the most beautiful thing so far to come out of this is honest conversations with a few close people in my life who I trust dearly. I’m so tired of relationships based on “hi how are you? Busy now, but when can we catch up?”
There is a mental health / emotional health / spiritual health / physical health crisis.. And we are talking about it more.. And it is not helping. I have worked with young people and we need to dismantle the model to reach them.
