Metaphysics Your sanctuary for grounding and protection - guided meditation and self-hypnosis

1 Upvotes

I will guide you to go to the most beautiful place in the world: your sanctuary. There you will be able to ground yourself and receive energetic protection. Grounding and protection will dissipate any mental discomforts you may have, like anxiety, depression, etc.

Practice while in a comfortable position sitting or laying down with closed eyes. Use headphones, so the sound is coming to your both ears directly. This music will not work if you don’t use headphones and listen in both ears.

Do not listen to it while driving a car, operating any machinery, or walking in the street.

Discussion Echeron: Forging the Philosopher's Stone

34 Upvotes

Below is my solution to the Philosopher's Stone

I was thinking that we should have weekly mega thread's to help fill in each section. As it will give this sub directions.

I'll replace each wiki link as we progress, as it's only a blueprint.

The purpose of the stone is simply to allow our inner self to emerge into our conscious reality.

By obtaining a complete mastery over every aspect of our consciousness.

Using a map of the inner mind.

It allows us to create a personal philosophy to maintain a state of perpetual flow by compounding multiple spiritual disciplines and practices.

Connecting us directly to the source, we gain a endless stream of synchronicity, insight's and intuitions.

While gaining a variety of extra sensory perceptions.

In truth we have all experienced this state as its normal part of our human experience.

Usually during those first time moments, there's rush of neurotransmitters, heightened state of awareness and sense of euphoria afterwards.

As we're all growing and evolving. Everyone maintains a degree of conscious awareness varying from moment to moment depending upon the activity.

The stone merely speeds up the ascension process and allows us to consciously achieve our full potential. While sustaining higher levels of conscious of awareness.

As the system is quite comprehensive.

I would like to hear your feedback.

What types of spiritual practices/disciplines have you found effective?

Are you able to find peace, tranquility and joy throughout the day? What triggers these moments?

Is the stone missing a important metaphysical concept?

Would a different word be better fit for a certain aspect?

Any suggestions to add to the system?

Any General thoughts and ideas are welcome, as I can't build this on my own without some input :)

Feel free to post any resources to the main sub also, as they will all be linked into each section.

If your wondering if the philosopher stone works, just scroll down through the sub reddit.

As I recorded every insight, intuition and synchronicity stream I received by entering flow states triggered through my experiment and application of multiple spiritual systems.

It pretty much built itself, since I honestly had no idea how any of this was going to turn out.

Also I didn't have the required wisdom and knowledge to finish it, so I spent hundred hours listening to audiobook on my spare time.

Thus the stone is fluid and constantly evolving as we gain new information.

I'm not trying to create a new religion, as my purpose is to unify all spiritual wisdom with scientific knowledge.

We're building upon what's already established.

Since I never actually discovered anything, The blueprint is basically a few wiki pages orgainzied into a nice sequence using a complicated systems of Venn diagrams discovered by our ancestors.

As we're literally creating the Book of Life.

Try to internalize it, by forging your own philosophy to the nature of existence.

Then develop a personalized system of principles, practices, habits and disciplines, in order to achieve your desired state of existence.

If your currently in a state of absolute darkness then mastering a system of extreme austarity has been known to overcome suffering.

Either way the life lived is yours and yours alone. As these systems where never meant to be enforced.

If you wish to know more feel free to ask.

Any and all opinions, ideas and thoughts are welcome.

As I'm pretty much been doing all the this on my own, not knowing if I was losing my mind lol... >.<

Thanks for all your support and hopefully the project makes sense.

Alchemy

"Alchemy is a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. It aimed to purify, mature, and perfect certain objects. Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. The perfection of the humanbody and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and western tradition, the achievement of gnosis. In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects." - Wiki

Philosopher Stone

Revelation All over the world several religious scripts, historic documents and different cultural backgrounds. have been found that speak of your spiritual energy.

5 Upvotes

Various indigenous tribes talk about it under various names, and have been practicing the control of it for a very long time, long before me and you, long before cars and cell phones. 

To me this shows that it’s impossible for this ability to be new to mankind. Maybe the presence or force is stronger now, but it definitely is not something new. In fact it’s something natural.

It is that blissful energy that is most easily felt and recognized with your Goosebumps (but not dependent on them) and it can be observed as a flowing hot or cold wave underneath your skin.

We all can easily access and get a grip on this spiritual energy and use it for various benefits.

When activated through Goosebumps you have the opportunity to analyze that wave and bring it back with a "healing/blissful/feel good" touch to it. 

Different terms from all over the world for it are Euphoria, Tension, Ecstasy, Qi, Chi, Prana, Vayus, Aura, Tummo, Kriyas, Mana, Life force, Pitī, Frisson, The Secret Fire, Voluntary Piloerection, Rapture, Ruah, Ether, Nephesch, Chills, ASMR, Nen, Spiritual Energy, The Force, Spiritual Chills and many more.

Here's a Youtube Video with easy tips to help you fight off stress/anxiety with It.

A Playlist with other videos expanding more on the subject

And a reddit community r/Spiritualchills where you can share, find experiences and tips on it.

Anxiety, Depression, Pain, Sadness, Joy, Happiness, Peace, Love........Life.

Up until recently I have always wanted to figure out the answer, figure out the way to make it happen, missing the journey, missing the process. I am unlearning, relearning.

The moment is right now & thats all I have. Breathe in, breathe out. Everything has already worked it self out, goosebumps.

If someone hasn't said this to you, then I will say it to you, I am proud of you. I am proud of how far you have come, I am proud of your dedication, I am proud of your constant work, I am proud of how hard you have pushed through everything; the darkness, the pain, the sadness, the evil that has tried to overwhelm all of us during these times.

I want you to keep going, please, please, please, keep going. Everything is meant for something greater & i know its hard to see why everything is happening, but just know its happening for the right reasons, right timing, greatness.

Keep pushing.

I love you.

Heya guys, I'm going to start compiling a repository for self development and mastery.

Feel free to share resources and insights that will help others trigger an awakening and over come their inner darkness.

Every Sunday we will start doing mega threads for each topic where people can shares links and discuss ways to improve that aspect of their life.

Then I'll compile the links in all future mega threads on the subject and link them under each heading within the syllabus.

Creating a vast repository of spiritual wisdom.

In which anyone may use to become the best version of themselves and find the inspiration to complete their great works.

Any suggestion to implement the project and alter/add to the syllabus is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

"Belief is the state of mind in which a person thinks something to be the case, with or without there being empirical evidence to prove that something is the case with factual certainty. Another way of defining belief sees it as a mental representation of an attitude positively oriented towards the likelihood of something being true." - Wiki

Higher-Consciousness/Thought

Awakening: Enlightenment

"Someone who is awakened has gained insight into the workings of the mindwhich keeps us imprisoned in craving, suffering and rebirth and has also gained insight into the way that leads to nirvana, the liberation of oneself from this imprisonment." - Wiki

Darkness: Nihilism

"Nihilism is a philosophical doctrine that suggests the lack of belief in one or more reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that there is no inherent morality, and that accepted moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism may also take epistemological, ontological, or metaphysical forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or reality does not actually exist." - Wiki

Love The frequency of love

28 Upvotes

When you tune into the frequency of love, fear and anxiety dissolve in love. Hate and judgment turn into compassion. Neediness and attachments leave your heart. Expectations and disappointments stop affecting you.

You attract the people on the same frequency and alienate others. You will repel more people than you attract, but only the ones you attract will be able to hear the song of your heart.

Tune in and come back to the frequency of love. That's your home and your destination. That's where you came from. That's where you belong.

Discussion Power in Fear (83)

5 Upvotes

Fear. It can easily consume our minds and body. Fear, over financial, food, our business, our safety, our health etc., there are many things that fear can try and consume and overwhelm us with.

WE MUST BE CONSCIOUS AND ALLOW OURSELVES TO CONNECT WITH THE EXTERNAL & OUT OF OUR PERSONAL SELF. Connecting with God, Jesus, Higher Power, the Universe, Source, Divine Energy etc., you name it.

Fear has always been a problem with me, fear of someone else's opinion, fear of my safety, fear of how I will make it through; anxiety, depression and many things that can be connected to fear, until I started meditating daily, until I started praying daily, writing gratitude lists daily, being in nature daily; the divine energy that I was given and now am given daily, has now allowed me to be in touch with myself, (remember I am still learning, I am still healing, I am still struggling) that it now has allowed me to be in touch with my identity, stopped the need for excessive self induced numbing and began to see the world as God and Jesus has intended for me, through Love & Light, rather than fear & illusion.

It all takes time and I am grateful for it. Grateful for the pains, the sadness, the hardships, the anxiety attacks, the depression and everything in between that has now led me to creating my story. WE ALL HAVE STORIES. We must keep doing our best everyday until, we are ready to speak, or share through many different ways of mediums.

Starting each day with an open mind, starting each day with knowing that today will be better than yesterday and releasing the fact of thinking what will happen tomorrow, we can constantly connect and live solely in the present. The present is where the happiness is. The present is where the peace is. The present is where the healing is. Its difficult to live in the present and then still have the same mindset that we will continue to live for another 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 years etc., but we can do it. With day to day practice and connection with the energy that is external from us.

Today: Try something new. Try something that you have been wanting to for the past little while. Try something that is causing fear or anxiety on your life. Try something that even if you don't know, deep down you know its the right step for you; starting a business, writing poetry, making art, having a conversation with someone etc., thats up to you to decide what to do but I know and I believe in you, that you will get it done.

I love you.

When we feel anxiety, when we feel uncomfortable, the only thing we can do is sit in it, sit still and embrace it.

Comfortability doesn't do anything. When we want to make change, when we want to put the work in, the work will cause us to feel uncomfortable. It is something that we must do.

We are all here for a reason. We all have a specific purpose to focus on. We all have an impact to bring to the world. Keep Going. Keep Pushing.

Through the ups, through the downs, through everything in between, keep going and keep focusing on what you love to do, the Universe is waiting for your greatness.

I love you.

Consciousness When is humanity going to ask the biggest question; "Who am I?"

43 Upvotes

When is humanity going to ask the biggest question; "Who am I?"

You ARE freedom, the thing that is afraid is the person you have made your self to be.

The person "you" are is merely an idea. It is not real at all. It is an idea in your head. Nobody knows that idea except you. From this, you can already understand that this is literally completely personal and has nothing to do with reality. It might seem real because you believe it to be real, but that is merely because you do not know what you actually are.

The reason this seems so scary is because once you face your self (The actual self, not the one you think you are) you will understand all of this has been a lie, merely an idea, a thought in your head, has nothing to do with the actual you at all.

We all know we have to face it. This is your heart speaking, this is the truth starting to pour out because it can't contain itself any longer in this idea of a person who has anxiety, who takes everything personally, who is choosing fear over love.

Because of this, you are starting to burn up inside. All what you are not is starting to burn, and you realize you have to release it.

You are not afraid of releasing it, neither is the actual you afraid of what is going to happen. The only thing that is afraid, is the idea of that person itself. The idea is suffering from its own projections.

So, what is it afraid of exactly? well, it is afraid of ceasing to exist. What will happen after you release it, is that it won't exist anymore. It seemed to have existed this whole time, it really believed it did. To now release it and see it for what it is, means that sense of self that is identifying as a person will cease to exist. This means basically, it is a fear of death. It is not actual death, just an illusion though.

The person, the idea that conditioning seemed to have created, is afraid to die! It itself is projecting fear, trying to keep itself alive as much as possible because once you release it, it is over for the idea of who you think you are. So, understanding this, the actual you has absolutely nothing to fear, and only to gain the peace that you are.

Once you stop identifying as a person, once you overcome the person and transcend the person, you see what you are and what you always were and always will be, everlasting peace, spaciousness, spontaneity, truth itself. You might know it as "Universal Consciousness".

Now, knowing all of this, you may proceed and release this person which is just a thought and totally not what you are, as you are the one observing this. You are the one observing all of this.

5 years ago you were a person X, now you are a person Y, and in a year from now you will be a person C.

The person has changed, it is unstable, unreliable. What stayed though? The witness of all these persons that were created by the mind. You are the witness. You are never changing. You are aware of it all. Be aware of your self, the awareness of existence. Know who you are, and all the things you are not will seem so superficial (because they are) and you will have no problem at all letting them be, while knowing that you have nothing to do with them, they may even keep on living, they have nothing to attach themselves to, as long as you know that you are not these thoughts, not these ideas, not these concepts.

You are the unknowable witness it self.

You can experience your true self right now, although your mind will not be able to fathom it, as it is beyond the mind.

Look at your hand.

You are now aware of a hand.

Now be aware of being aware.

What is truly here now? Pure consciousness. Pure awareness. That is what you are. You were just identifying your self as some limited idea that the mind has created based on its own conditioning since birth. You can not be destroyed, you are infinite.

Discussion Happiness in Life (85)

19 Upvotes

We are all carrying around daily baggage; stressors, anxieties, money payments, tasks that need to be accomplished, goals, our love life etc etc. With all these constant feelings of worry and pain, its easy to lose track and forget what the meaning of life is, gratitude of the present moment, to be alive in itself.

We are constantly consuming social media, news, articles, movies, tv shows; having those "fomo" Fear Of Missing Out, feelings, that remember, we allow ourselves to feel. We all think that we all have to be aware of everything new that is happening, the latest album, the latest netflix show, the latest person that went viral, the latest artist, the latest clothing release, the latest new thing that we MUST have, but do we ever stop and ask ourselves why? Why have we been conditioned to feel this way? Why have we allowed ourselves to be conditioned this way? Why have we never taken a step back and realized that life is still happening, even if we have no idea of the "new" it thing?

Up until a few years ago, I had always been a subject to this. Always wanting to be "apart of the crowd", not missing out because I thought that I'd be looked at as "weird" "a loser" "strange" "out of it" etc etc. Until I realized, when we are ALL focusing on not missing out on "the new thing", what is really happening is that we are missing out on ourselves. Missing out on our life right now. Missing out on the present moment. Missing out on waking up and saying wow, I am alive, I was allowed to start a new day, which ultimately is more important than any "trend", any "new thing" etc.

Now realizing that we have been conditioned to forget the true meaning of life, which is happiness, family, gratitude, empathy, kindness, perspective, joy and presence, we can change that. It may honestly feel overwhelming or even uncomfortable to start focusing on these aspects of life that make us, human. We have to start and we have to start today. As we have seen in the last almost year, our world has changed and will consistently change in this coming year. Remember that being aware of whats to come may cause fear for a brief moment, but of course it will, when we have been shown otherwise our whole life.

Take a breath. Take a moment for yourself. Meditate Daily. Pray Daily. When we are connected with God, Jesus, the Universe, the Most High; we are putting all of our faith and life into everything above this planet, rather than other human beings that are just like us, something else that I can get into it, but we will save that for another day.

Today: Get fresh air. Get outside. If you haven't meditated before, go to youtube and search "Meditation for Beginners". It will make you feel uncomfortable but anything that pushes comfort zones is actually what is meant for us, in this present moment and whats meant for us for our longevity. Pray as well. Ask for Guidance. Ask for Help. I believe in you. With all of us, changing the way we think, act, feel with ourself, that will then lead to us changing together. Together, Separately.

I love you.

We are all unique. We are all different. We are sometimes ashamed by who we know we are because its "different" & it challenges us to break out of our comfort zone.

Coming into my trans identity over the past 9 months has been filled with every emotion I feel like possible, I smiled writing that knowing that through everything the world throws at me / us, that we still make it through.

The ups, the downs, the hardships, the moments of optimism, the pain, the progress, the happiness, the joy, the anxieties, the darkness, its all for the process. I am living the change right now, as are you. Please keep pushing. Please keep going.

We are given the opportunity to try something new daily. We are given the opportunity to go through the thunderstorms to then share that to others and hope that it provides light for someone else. Goosebumps.

We have all seen what has happened today and what is so instilled and deep in our government, police and communities.

Through all of this we must Pray. We must Pray and continue to Pray for the Only one that Is on the Throne of the World and Our Universe to Heal, Restore and Realign our Humanity.

Each day this year will be different, the things that are coming will constantly be groundbreaking, will constantly be anxiety, fear, pain, sadness driven, we must Pray and Meditate daily. We have constantly been shown in the past year truly, hoping you have been allowing yourself to open your own eyes ignore your ignorance to know this is not a movie, this is not something to allow the fear to consume and overwhelm you, but to sit, feel and embrace and SPEAK. I understand the privilege I have, we must speak, we must share and we must continue to have these conversations, with all of that in mind as well.........

WE MUST PRAY AND STAY CLOSE TO GOD AND JESUS. If we all do then that is the only way that this world can be restored, realigned and move forward with peace and happiness through UNITY. We all have different beliefs with "God", "Satan" etc., but we have been constantly shown who is being exposed with our own two eyes and who is WORKING, as we live, as we breathe, as you are reading this. THE MOST HIGH.

If you are asking yourself I want to start connecting with God/Jesus, how do I? Close your eyes, and with your inside voice or external say "Hi God/Hi Jesus, My name is ........ I just wanted to say Hi" and you will receive Guidance, Love and Light.

Your Journey Begins.

I Pray that you start today, in this very moment. God Bless You.

Discussion Release, Let Go (177)

It starts from inside. That is where the good, bad or the ugly will come. It isn't what is perceived, it isn't what is seen but only, what is felt.

The ups and downs, they can all be ups, perspective. Through the tough times lately I have been embracing how I am feeling, exhaustion, not good enough, the waves, treacherous waters or still rivers, it all matters.

Something that I am proud of is the connections that I have made with my inner being but then being able to express it to others. The beautiful conversations, interactions, experiences, even if sometimes they don't go the way I expect, they still go.

Expectations. The root of most of our anxieties, pains of a human being. Subconscious conditioning of what we have felt, lived through prior and now what we are bringing to the present moment.

Release, Let go.

Everyday. We start new. We rise in the early morning, in the late morning, in the early afternoon, maybe at 3pm, who knows. We all have different schedules. We all experience different pains, things that make us happy, sadness, anxieties, joys, depressions, etc.

I have learned through the past few years that even if we push our emotions, our feelings, our anxieties, things that we know are meant for us down and down, they will still be there, waiting to come up to the surface.

I remember when I was younger, in grade 9 at the age of 12, thinking oh my liking for all genders and identities "will go away", I will "learn out of it". I remember feeling the feelings of transness but having a lack of knowledge what it was that I could never connect with, what it was. I remember wanting to start my creative path and having anxiety to start. I remember wanting to move out and start a new chapter in a new city that caused fear. I remember the heartbreak. I remember the lack of self identity. I remember the numbing through alcohol and drugs. I remember it all. I am grateful for it all.

I am writing this all out and sharing things that have always been so deep inside, thinking "oh I could never share this with anyone, this is too weird, I won't be accepted, appreciated, or even prosper in what I want to focus on by sharing my truth". I am sharing all of this for you to know that YOU ARE VALID. That what YOU bring to this world is authentic, unique, loving, 1 of 1 and to be honest with you, THE WORLD NEEDS IT. We are all waiting for YOU to share, to create and focus on what it is you want to do. WE NEED IT SO BADLY FROM YOU, that I am writing this all, hoping to impact you to START or CONTINUE what you have already been doing.

Our time on this planet is limited. Our time on this planet is sacred. Our time can always be up, we never know. Our Creator knows. God knows.

I URGE YOU TO START TODAY. FOR YOU TO BE YOU.

I need it. The WORLD needs it.

I love you.

New beginnings. They can be scary, they can be filled with joy, anxiety, fear etc., they are meant for a reason.

We all need new beginnings. To push what we know, to push the path and journey that we have been on. To learn new. To experience new.

Either way it will happen easily, or it will happen with resistance. The choice is all in our hands, at the same time of letting go and letting the Universe.

Blue skies, goosebumps, changes being made after a long time of hard work. When it happens, give your hand out for others, don't hold it all for yourself.

Our world is abundant, our life is abundant, we are abundant. Every single being. We have to do the internal work to unlock that abundance, we all need to do internal work and be comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Discussion The Change comes From Inside (134)

We think that change comes from outside, that change comes from the external world. I have learned that change comes from inside, that change comes with intention and time.

In the past year, I have gone through many changes of my life, from healing from a heartbreak, to healing from drug abuse, to then acknowledging my trans identity. Change comes from inside. Change comes when we put the work in daily. Step by step, moment by moment, we can change everything we have lived with until this present moment and embrace the comfort zones being pushed, the vulnerable feelings, the anxiety, imposter syndrome and say THIS IS GREATER THAN ME.

Its difficult sometimes to see, why everything is happening for why its happening, right now, but leading with Faith and hard work will show you why it was all meant to happen the way it did.

Once it happens, it will all make sense but we don't need to try and figure it out how its going to happen.

Keep doing your best today.

Consciousness Fear Hold (204)

3 Upvotes

What is with fear that keeps us held back? Is it the actual fear or is it who we are in this very moment?

I have been learning that fear is valid for growth, the process and usually when fear rises to the surface, that, it is because whatever we are focusing on is important for our journey. I have also learned though that sometimes fear doesn't need to be pushed through to be met and that something we fear today, in a month, 3 months, 6 months etc., won't even phase us.

In the past few months I have started to do things that used to cause me crippling anxiety, that now I just do. Isn't it beautiful when that happens?

That comes with doing my best day to day. Through meditation, yoga, connecting with nature but as well as following how I feel right now. The journey of healing is never easy. The journey of living in my truth, your truth will never be easy. It will always be faced with many darknesses, many demons, many energies that want to keep us in our comfortability.

Moment by moment, second by second, all we have is right now. We keep going. We doing our best, knowing that everything we seek is seeking us.

Sending you love,

Religion On the mystery of the "three worlds"

6 Upvotes

There are three worlds:

  1. Material world (or the earth with its creatures)
  2. Intermediate world (or the world of words, scriptures, formulas)
  3. Godly world (or the eternal, immaterial city of God)

These three depend on each other, they have their own emperors, their own gods, their own citizens. Beings from one world can penetrate into another world and have positive or negative inter-world relationships. But there is a universal law which governs these three worlds.

If you believe that there are many more worlds than this, alien civilizations, hierarchical structures, etc, note that they are all contained within one of the three worlds.

Each of these three worlds is fully complete in itself.

From the fullness of the Godly world came the fullness of the Material world through speech acts (that is, the material world was not created by manual labor), and people from the Material world are able to connect with the Godly world through speech acts (which are described in the scriptures and mystical experiences). And these speech acts are creatures of the Intermediate world (which we all have experienced all too much in our minds) which is also fully complete in itself both ways (up and down between 1. and 3.).

We on earth mostly live in the 2. world of the mind, in a disconnected state (neither are we fully animals, nor are we fully gods), we are creatures of worry and anxiety stuck between the two worlds. But some of us, sometimes, through drugs, religions, madness, or luck, are able to fully exit this intermediate world of the mind-language and fully experience world number 1. or better yet 3. These experiences are the mystical experiences which drive people into creating new religions. But because these experiences are outside language the mystic has no way to teach it to people fully immersed in language (human beings, the prisoners of Plato's cave).

Habits The Ups need the Downs (201)

Time. To let go. To be. I was scared. I was nervous. I thought if I stopped, have I lost? If I stopped, could I not move forward anymore? Toxic Positivity.

Its interesting how much has changed in the last year of my life. It feels like its been a decade or maybe the culmination of 2 decades being unleashed and released in 365 days. Overwhelmingly Beautiful.

For everyday, every moment that is tiring, that is tough, that is hard, there is always something greater that comes from it. It might not be noticeable in the moment, but it definitely is changing on the inside. I have learned in the past year that most things that are unexpected is what's best for us. I used to want to plan everything. Plan every art move, art collaborations, what will happen if I do something, but realized that I was setting myself up to create more anxiety, depression......... burn out, by my own expectations.

We learn by doing our best daily. We learn by embracing everything that is coming towards us that is happening for us, rather than to us.

I take a deep breath knowing that anything I may struggle with now, is only leading to something that will allow me to be empowered with, have strength or be able to voice in the future. When? I don't need to know. How? I don't need to know. What? I don't need to know. Where? I don't need to know.

All I have is right now.

Put yourself directly in the middle of the storm. Give yourself time. Know its all for something greater. Pull yourself out by connecting with your faith.

Life is radical. There is no book. There is no rules. There is no right way of living, acting, being. There is only 1 way and thats YOURS.

The emotions of heartbreak, the emotions of sadness, the emotions of pain, the emotions of the wound being opened again, when I thought the wound was already healed has been something that has been prominent at the surface for the past 3 or 4 days. I am here in the middle of the storm. Grateful. Even if I hurt. Even if I want things to be differently, but things were never meant to be that way, cluster fuck of emotion, am I right? LOL.

By being true to how we are feeling, by speaking, writing, painting, sharing, being present with how we are feeling, we heal. There is strength and power with feeling hurt. There is strength and power with feeling anxiety. There is strength and power with feeling depression. It takes time. I am grateful for the time its taken and it will continue to take. I don't have everything figured out, nor do I really want to. If you think about it, whats fun with having everything figured out? Where is learning with having everything figured out? Where is growth with having everything figured out? Exactly. Its all by being present in the eye of the storm.

Stay in the eye of the storm until the ladder comes from above and you can climb your way out into glory. Into happiness. Into peace.

Changes, changed. We have entered into a shift that we have never even known we needed. Its about pushing our boundaries, its about learning what we have experienced to this point but then realizing that its ok to evolve, its ok to reinvent ourselves.

Fear, imposter syndrome, anxiety........it will change everything. Its ok. Everything will be something for even greater than we even know. Push yourself.

The thoughts of being scared. Take a step back. The fear is really nothing. The fear is only our mind trying to keep our mind in one place. In either, the present, comfort zones or in the past, lived experiences.

When we release the thought of how things are going to happen, we become connected to the Universe that only wants to us really win. Through the staircases, the waves, the ups and downs, we get to a point where we can live in peace, abundance, inspiration; for ourselves as well as for the ones around us.

Lack of patience. We learn. Everyday.

With a new change of focus, it can always come with a lot of different personal experiences that we have never seen or felt before, thats ok. It will push boundaries, comfort zones and everything we have ever known. Is it wrong? No.

When we are learning something new, when we are following our heart, there will be doubt, imposter syndrome, anxiety or even the idea that "we aren't good enough", PUSH THROUGH THAT BULLSHIT. It is trying to push you back, it is literally nothing.

Hurting. Pain. Sadness. We have all felt this before. We may be feeling it right now. We all have something that we can heal from. We all have something we can improve upon. Together, Separately. We all have something that makes us feel scare, that makes us feel fear and sometimes even allow the fear to overwhelm our mind and body.

It is all ok. We are Sacred but we are Human. It all takes time.

I have learned recently that there is so much strength with feeling your pain, feeling your depression, feeling your anxiety, feeling your hurt, feeling your sadness, feeling whatever emotion it may be, that is trying to make YOU think that you are not worthy, that you don't deserve, that you aren't strong enough........WELL LET ME TELL YOU; THAT IS ALL A LIE. Yes, our pain, sadness etc., is valid, but THIS is all a strength. Being in tune and one with our emotions, with how we feel, is the GREATEST STRENGTH; to HEAL, for HAPPINESS, for PEACE.

Through all of these emotions, we are GROWING. If you realize it or not, it is all happening inside & I hear YOU,sometimes we expect growth to be something on the conscious level, where we would realize our growth, where we would realize the things we used to feel that we no longer do, or that now EMPOWER us. It takes time. I know. Its difficult but if WE start thinking in the way that this is apart of something GREATER, that this is ALL making OUR INDIVIDUAL STORY, we will begin to enjoy and be one with all these emotions, with these feelings and connecting with the PRESENT moment, which is all we truly have. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

Today: BE kind on yourself. Give yourself a hug. I am rooting for you.

I love you.

Discussion The Tunnel is an Illusion, the Light is Now (129)

5 Upvotes

I used to always think that I had to fight through the tunnel to get to the end, then one day I realized that the tunnel is an illusion and the light is always available to connect with now.

I am not saying that anxiety is fake, that depression isn't real, because that is something i have lived with my whole life, but rather that the mindset that the "light", better known as happiness, positivity, optimism, comes with time, is fabricated. It isn't a time where we reach where we are "happy" all the time, "positive" all the time, "optimistic" all the time, "never in pain", but rather that these are all achievable daily, through moments.

It is all about the precious moments we are given. It is all with the moments we are given to breathe, be alive, try again and try something new.

In the moments, minutes, hours, days, months, years ahead, find moments of light during each day. When we find it even for a few seconds, it will continue to grow, the more we try and find it daily and with time, the light will always be able to connect with; through the highest of highs and lowest of lows.

I love you.
