Spiritual Awakening Adventures - 8 Years Ago Today
It has been almost a decade since Spirit came into my life and completely flipped it. One day, I woke up and started hearing ghosts as loud as a regular conversation that you would have with the living. As you could imagine, it was quite terrifying, and I went through hell - the Dark Night of the Soul - before finding myself again through the trauma of it all. If Spirit hadn't come into my life the way they did, when they did, I may not be here to tell my story today. Spirit saved my life by showing up the way they did, and it put me on the path I am on today.
As you could imagine, waking up one day and hearing voices was traumatizing, and it sent me into a spiral that forever changed my life. I was an atheist at the time, angry and bitter due to the hand I was dealt in life, and I couldn't see the blessings through the pain. As any scientifically-minded individual would do, I went to a psychiatrist to rule out mental illness, focusing on schizophrenia. However, upon visiting the psychiatrist, I found no answers and no diagnosis. They prescribed medication, which I took to get rid of the "voices," but the medication didn't work, and Spirit continued to communicate with me through that process. I actually found that these voices were helpful, and they pushed me to rid myself of many of the demons I had been holding onto for years in the shadows.
Spirit encouraged me to meditate, and I listened, having many energetic experiences during this time, including a full-on Kundalini Awakening where it felt like my body was electric, but not in a painful way. That experience brought forward a healing that I could feel vibrating throughout my body, and during that experience, I was visited by a very familiar angel who spoke to me of change and inspired me to do so.
In the beginning of this awakening, Spirit would send me on adventures, just me and Spirit on the back roads of Arizona. On this day, 8 years ago, we visited the Casa Grande Domes. I gathered firewood and sang solo in the acoustic domes. I witnessed birds flocking to me as I sang and felt an energy within me that is mostly indescribable. Though I was "alone" on this adventure, I knew I was not alone in a spiritual sense. I felt more alive than I ever had. I took the firewood I had gathered and built a fire in the furthest dome from the street, laid out a blanket, and watched orbs dance in the night sky through the decaying building that formed a majestic window into the void of space. I could feel Spirit working on my physical body, an energetic rewiring of my being.
These adventures were building the foundation of trust between Spirit and myself. To this day, Spirit still resides within me, a bit more softly spoken, but always whispering of hope, courage, and blind faith as I traipse through the exotic chaos of life. One of the greatest gifts Spirit has bestowed upon me is the knowing that we are never alone in this life, and should we choose to seek out support, it is always available to us on a divine level.
