Spirituality isn’t the destination but a journey. Many of us have heard this.. but we somehow can’t get a hang of it… Spirituality is indeed a journey.. a journey that we build up on, a journey that’s beyond earthly materialistic stuff.. it’s a lifestyle. Here’s an example… What happens when you meditate say for 10 minutes everyday? Nothing specific? We find peace, we find solutions, we find answers to our issues.. these issues might be the pettiest of the issues or maybe biggest blunder of your life.. but yet, when you meditate the very situation that hurt you, suddenly makes sense.. Ever wondered why? Simply because when we meditate, we try to go beyond what we see in that situation.. we try go in depth of the situation and in that process we develop new perspectives, new approaches to deal with things. Now, this was just one of these situations… what if you do this everyday for 10 minutes? Suddenly everything will magically start making sense one after the other and you’ll keep building on your perspectives and because you’ll expand your perspectives on every single situation you look deeply in, you’ll end up becoming more aware & vigilant to not create any situation that ends up in toxicity… and that way you eventually practice mindfulness… And we all know, mindfulness is one of the best ways to live peacefully in life, so can’t we say, mindfulness is one of the easiest way to taste the spiritual essence of life?
For me, the weirdest thing is how spirituality makes way into our lives! Not everyone is spiritual just the way not everyone is practical… Spirituality always enters a person’s life by first cultivating the need or rather the desperation to get peace, stability, contentment & some kind of completion in our life! And that need is only cultivated through chaos, internal conflicts, confusion, sense of feeling or actually being trapped! Well, how do we land ourselves suddenly trapped in these situations and/or feelings even when we don’t want to be in them? Here’s how: SUDDEN DOWNFALLS, SUDDEN CHANGES, ACCIDENTALLY MAKING WRONG CHOICES… All of these things play a role in putting us through sudden transformations, catching us off guard, unprepared, many a times, we don’t even know how to get out of because it hasn’t been a part of our experience as such… what happens then? You grow back stronger.. You start relying on yourself, simply to get out of all this chaos, this confusion.. You end up seeking peace and through that you value yourself over everything and everyone else! And when you do that… you feel closer to the universe.. And as you go deeper you end up discovering a whole new world within, suddenly you know everything about everyone… suddenly you shun down everything that doesn’t give you that joy, that pleasure, that feeling within you and then you grow in life, you outgrow your fears & you win over every damn thing that once used to be way out of your league!
So, is Universe the true essence of your life? I feel isn’t a correct question! It should rather be… Do you have the courage to experience the true essence of the universe?
That’s all for today..
Love & strength to you!
Goddess bless!
