Allowing the Spiritual Changes Necessary for Growth

I remember the day I truly woke up. It was as if I had been asleep for centuries, and suddenly, I took my first breath of consciousness. That moment, though indescribable, was a profound shift—a new understanding of myself and my place in the world that felt like nothing I had ever known before remember the day I truly woke up. It was as if I had been asleep for centuries, and suddenly, I took my first breath of consciousness. That moment, though indescribable, was a profound shift—a new understanding of myself and my place in the world that felt like nothing I had ever known before.

Life has a way of bringing us to these pivotal moments, where everything changes for the better, often without us even realizing it at first. For me, this awakening wasn’t just about seeing the world differently; it was about seeing myself differently. It was as though I had been given a new lens through which to view my life, and with it came an undeniable clarity.

his new environment of awareness, I’ve come to realize the importance of words—how the words I choose shape my reality, how they can uplift or diminish, and how they reflect my innermost beliefs. Living a life of spiritual soundness, which I once took for granted, now feels like an essential part of my spiritual journey. The things I knew in the past are no longer just concepts; they are inner truths that guide my everyday actions.

Spiritual growth, I’ve learned, cannot happen without personal development. It’s not enough to simply want to be more spiritual or more connected to the divine; I have to do the work on myself to make that connection possible. This work is not easy, but it’s necessary. It involves shedding old beliefs, habits, and ways of thinking that no longer serve me. It requires me to open myself up to the possibility that the life I thought I wanted may not be the life that’s truly meant for me.

But here’s the beautiful part—when I allow myself to be guided by the Infinite source, I don’t have to do it alone. The path is laid out before me, and all I need to do is take the first step. There is no might that I hold that isn’t granted to me by the Universe, and there is no challenge I face that cannot be overcome with Divine guidance.

I’m realizing now how important it is to value and appreciate the gifts I’ve been given. Each of us has unique talents and abilities, and it’s my responsibility to share them with others. This is not just for my own growth but for the growth of those around me. When I teach and uplift others, I contribute to a collective spiritual awakening that can transform the world.

When Life Falls Apart: Finding Trust in the Greater Plan

As I sit here, reflecting on the journey that has brought me to where I am today, I can’t help but marvel at the twists and turns life has taken. In my 40s, I’ve come to a deeper understanding of something I thought I had grasped long ago: trust. I’ve always understood trust and faith. Growing up in a religious way, surrounded by family who held their own profound beliefs in the Divine Creator, faith was like the air we breathed.

The idea of trusting in an invisible reality became much harder when my life was so busy, so rooted in a very 3D existence. The bills, the responsibilities, the daily grind—these things can easily distract from the bigger picture. It’s one thing to say, "I have faith," when everything is smooth sailing, but when life starts to crumble around you, when the ground beneath your feet feels unstable, that's when true faith is tested.

I remember when I got married. It was one of the happiest days of my life, but it was also one of the most uncertain. I didn’t know how things were going to turn out. Would we be able to navigate the challenges that life brought ? Would we grow together, or would we grow apart? There were so many unknowns, and at times, the fear of what might happen was overwhelming. But I trusted in the Divine Creator. I had to. I couldn’t see the future at that time, but I believed that there was a plan, a path that had been laid out for me, even if it was invisible to my eyes.

And day by day, step by step, our marriage unfolded in ways I could never have imagined, filled with both joys and challenges that strengthened our bond.

Then came motherhood, a journey that’s as terrifying as it is beautiful. Holding my newborn for the first time, I was filled with a love so intense it almost hurt. But with that love came fear. What kind of world was I bringing my child into? How would I protect them? How could I possibly be enough? The weight of that responsibility felt crushing at times. And yet, once again, I had to trust. I had to believe that there was a greater plan at work, that the divine creator who blessed me with this child would also guide me in raising them. And in the moments when I felt like I was failing, when everything seemed to be falling apart, I would stop, take a breath, and remember that the hand of the divine was at work, clearing a path, even when I couldn’t see it.

building my career was another test of faith. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, to chase after success as the world defines it—titles, money, recognition. But there came a point when I realized that this pursuit was based on a false foundation. I had to learn to trust in something greater than myself, to walk by faith and not by sight. There were moments when it seemed like everything I’d worked for was slipping through my fingers. Projects fell apart, opportunities vanished, and I was left wondering if I was on the right path at all. But in those moments of doubt, I found strength in trusting that the setbacks were not meant to destroy me but to redirect me, to help me see a different path that I might have missed otherwise. And slowly, but surely, my career began to take shape in a way that felt more authentic, more aligned with who I truly am.

Even in matters of health, when my body didn’t seem to be cooperating, I had to learn to trust. There were times when the fear of the unknown—the "what ifs"—threatened to take over. But I chose to believe that there was a reason, even if I couldn’t see it at the moment. I trusted that the challenges I faced were not punishments, but opportunities to grow, to deepen my connection to the Divine, to learn more about myself and my purpose in this life.

As I look back now, I see how every moment of uncertainty, every time life seemed to be falling apart, was actually a part of the Divine Plan. The things that I thought had come to destroy me were actually there to clear the way, to make space for something greater. And that’s the thing about trust—it’s not about having all the answers or knowing exactly how things will turn out. It’s about believing that even when you can’t see the way forward, there is a way. There is always a way!

In this journey, I’ve learned that trusting in the Divine Creator isn’t just about having faith in the good times. It’s about holding on to that faith when things seem darkest, when you’re standing at the edge and can’t see what’s on the other side. Because it’s in those moments, when you take that leap of faith, that you truly begin to see the infinite hand at work, guiding you, protecting you, and ultimately, leading you to where you need to be!

Soultribe, when everything feels like it’s falling apart, trust that something greater is unfolding. Breathe into it. Walk through it. You are not forgotten; you are being reshaped.

Eating the Fruits of a Lack: Healing A Scarcity Mindset

Every Sunday, I go on my morning hikes in this gorgeous state park. As I wander through the forest with my headphones on, I listen to some amazing meditation music, and I can feel the weight of the world melting away. These hikes have become my sanctuary, a place where I can shed all my baggage, negativity, and heavy thoughts.

Each hike presents a unique experience. The journey up the hill is always different,it has always carried an outer body feeling. along my journey I meet various creatures and traverse different terrains, each nook and cranny revealing something unique. One day, though, I found myself feeling particularly down. I was stressed about some new financial obligations and desperately needed more resources to meet them.

As I approached a park bench by a beautiful lake, I decided to sit down and take in the view. The serene water, the lush trees, and the friendly birds provided a much-needed respite. I began to focus on gratitude—appreciating the landscape, the shade from the trees, and the birds' company.

As I slowed life down and looked around, I noticed something remarkable. The animals and creatures in the forest seemed so content, so balanced. The birds flew gracefully, without any hint of chaos. The spiders moved with calm precision, the ants were busily content, and the butterflies were enormous and beautiful.

In that peaceful moment, my inner voice spoke to me. It said, " can't you see that everything in the forest is balanced? Nothing competes here. Everything works in harmony." And it hit me—that's how the world is supposed to be. Healing a scarcity mindset allowed me to see the forest, where no tree competes with another, and the ants work together happily, every bird flies with grace, knowing its needs are met. The turtle and the frog coexist peacefully, and the deer graze joyfully.

It's powerful to stop in your tracks and recognize that something greater than yourself offers you a new perspective on life. Lack first begins as a concept that we first agree to, and then lack begins to take on a life of it's own. If you free yourself from thoughts of scarcity, you can live in abundance. Living in abundance and maintaining a healthy mindset—that's the goal, that's the key, I strive for this slow down daily.

Living with a healthy mindset, embracing abundance—this is the goal, the key to a fulfilled life. Our thoughts and words shape our reality. The fruits of our labor are directly influenced by the seeds we plant in our minds.
