When I was a child strange things would happen, I'd have wildly vivid premonition dreams and I'd see ghosts at friends houses, which made me wonder about the mysterious and mystical things in life.
I was fascinated by psychics and what they could see. I learned reiki in my 20's (a form of energy healing) which ended up being a gateway drug into the intuitive realm. Although my psychic abilities had always been there - I had pushed it down with years of numbing out and well, being a 20-something year old partying and hanging out with friends.
I went on to take a workshop on past lives which I found fascinating, I started doing guided meditations and could see what appeared to be past lives of mine. It proceeded with being curious about astrology, having a reading done by my teacher, Andrew Smith, which was revelatory in regards to who I am - it's quite amazing what is written in the stars (highly recommend having an astro reading if you have your exact birth time). I read self development books, took intuition classes, went into coaching, and learned astrology, and breathwork.
For someone who went down the rabbit hole of what is called the "new age", I'd have to say that over time I'm less woo than I was from the starting point. There are a lot of benefits to meditation for example but I think you can find your own way with it.
To each their own in the spiritual space. It's not a one size fits all. The beauty with these things is that you can find what resonates and leave the rest.
It reminds me of the meme that I have seen of the spiritual starter pack which contains a picture of all the books, crystals, chakras, that sort of thing, and the spiritual advanced pack is a cigarette and some coffee lol.
Religion has also been a point of interest to me. That curiosity has been there since a child, the wondering about what and why people believe in what they do. About a year ago, I went into a book shop with the mindset to learn more about religion, but there is something intuitively that pulled me away from reading about it.
I have realized just how much I do not want to be swayed by other peoples opinions about god, or anything for that matter. I want to come to a place in myself that knows how I feel and what I believe and why. For me, it's getting to the purity of things, the part of us that is not tainted by others thoughts and beliefs.
A teacher of mine said to me recently that part of my purpose is to call out BS which can be hard for people to hear. My wish is to move away from doctrine and rigid belief systems to a place of purity of belief. I see that in every aspect of my life as I've never been one to follow all the rules laid out before me.
To conclude, I'm not about flying up into the clouds at this stage of my life. You won't see me channeling aliens (although I have had an alien experience), or speaking light language. I'm interested in the psychology of our human-ness, the cycles of life, our nature, what we believe and why.
In so many ways we limit ourselves with beliefs that likely weren't ours to begin with. We were once a baby born with bright eyes and inspired dreams about our future.
I'm an Aries, but the most predominant element in my chart is earth. We like to keep things down to earth around here.
For me, it's about the wisdom you can take into your daily life that will support you in the here and now for the earthy stuff, ya know.
