Today I feel inspired to share a bit more of my spiritual path.
I already wrote about some of the struggles I faced last year and the lessons I've learned in my posts about my latest art series and it actually felt really good and I could release even more of the emotions by transforming them into words and sharing it.
Actually a huge part in this chapter of my life is self reflection, healing and inner growth.
I kind of always did that in a way, I started (or had to start ^^) quite early, inspired by my mother who suffered from a deep depression when I reached puberty and worked hard to get herself out of it since then. My Mum was in a lot of pain and that overshadowed my youth quite a bit, but also opened up the door to a world that many people don't see: our inner world, our soul, our deep emotions and psychology. I am grateful for that.
At the age of 13 I realized that in order to grow, to get better, to feel better, I have to look at myself closely and be radically honest to myself.
I can't say that I did that in all areas of my life since then and there were times when I neglected myself almost completely. But I could always fall back on to this "dogma" whenever I felt ready to do so, or whenever I felt so unhappy and hurt that there was really no other option ^^
I don't know why but lately I feel that the pace of my spiritual development has increased. I feel a great urge to go in that direction, it's like magic is calling me :)
Does anyone feel the same? I'd love to know if it's just me or if there's some kind of cosmic energy in the air!
Maybe it's necessary for the times to come. A lot of things are happening right now, the world is changing.
I get a lot of lessons and insights lately, I can see myself very clearly.
Also I always seem to find just the right books or other resources to give me another piece of the puzzle or to comfort me on my path.
The latest skill that I'm learning is the art of meditation.
As I've mentioned before I finally started to integrate "not-doing" into my days and it's doing a lot of good for my mental health and general feeling.
I really see it as a new skill and I'm slowly getting better at it (meaning, I get into a relaxed state quicker and am able to stay there longer and get more out of it). I start to really see the benefit. Not only a more calm mind and body but also a stronger connection to the Universe/my higher Self/God/Energy/Spirit/whateveryouwannacallit.
Meditation puts me into this very special state, and there anything is possible, I'm sure of that. It's a very magical place.
I've only dipped into it for now, but I'm practicing to strengthen my connection to it and I'm excited to explore this new world that I've discovered.
I feel very inspired to share more of my spiritual journey, apart from my art and traveling. It's all connected anyway.
Until now I didn't really know how to talk about those things (in English) and I also didn't feel quite comfortable to share so much of my inner world on the internet.
But this is changing somehow.
The words come more easily to me and I don't feel weird or anything.
It's also not really about me. It's about one human's path to freedom and happiness.
So this might be the start of a new chapter! I won't promise anything but I might post more of this part of my journey, whenever I feel inspired :)
Well, this post turned out a little unorganized ^^ It evolved spontaneously and very intuitive, not a lot of thinking involved. I love that!
Much love to you all <3
