Meditation is an incredible way to tap into your spirit guide! By calming your mind and opening your heart, you'll create a sacred space for connection with your guide. Jotting down thoughts post-meditation will help solidify any breakthroughs or guidance received during this special time.
Being on a spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart. You may find yourself with feelings you’ve either never felt or had pushed away because they were painful or too difficult. This is normal. Maybe you’ve heard of fight, flight, freeze. This is a natural response that the brain has when it perceives danger. While there may not be any actual danger, something difficult or painful can be perceived as such. I’ve been through them all.
When I first started out on my journey to be more connected, I thought it would start with meditation and move straight to a calmer, happier me. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. Yes, meditation was involved. But there was a lot more. There was a lot of digging into my life, thinking about things that I never wanted to think about again. I thought pushing them away and forgetting them meant I had moved on from them. Little did I know, they were still playing a huge part in my life.
A 20 year old memory was one of the first things that came flooding back. I remembered every detail as though I was there again. I wasn’t expecting this and had to walk away. I took flight as a natural response to what my brain was perceiving as danger all over again. I gathered myself for a few days and went back in. I went through the process. At the end, I took a deep breath and released it. I spoke my truth. I accepted that it happened. I accepted that it changed me. I accepted finally that it was not my fault. A sick man took advantage of a child, took away her innocence and changed her view of the world. None of that was on me. Will I always be a little more cautious of people, especially with my own children? Absolutely, as we all should. This man was not a stranger to me. But I will no longer allow that to be a core memory.
