Message from the Mat

It feels like I’ve been trying to “figure it out” my whole life. What am I here to do? What is this journey about? What is the point? What’s the difference between myself and any of the other 7+ billion people on this planet? Have these thoughts ever held mental space in your head?

From a small town where everyone knew everyone, the world continued to grow. With time, we’d visit more towns, and more states, until high school where I started to visit other countries. 43 years into this journey, we’re learning even more about Space, other planets, and other solar systems. The vastness just continues to infinitely grow and expand; and with it, my existence only feels smaller and smaller.

For me, life has seemed to be a perpetual string of nudges to uplevel. Starting from an early age, the Universe/God/the Divine (please insert/select name of choice here) has challenged me, pushed me, and uplifted me. It was a constant invitation to come to a higher awareness, to grow, to evolve. Sound familiar?

I still have no idea what I’m doing most of the time. Quite honestly, I feel more connected and more lost at the same time, and more so today than ever. What is next? What am I here to do? What has this journey been about? What and who are all of these tools for that I’ve picked up along the way?

There’s a persistent, nagging voice in my head that likes to identify right and wrong, like someone, somewhere knows THE answer, or knows THE best way to solve whatever problem is in front of me. I hold myself back from helping, doing, offering because, well, who am I to guide the way? Who am I to know whether this is right?

The only thing is, I also know that the idea of one right, best answer is bullshit. What is “right” for someone may be the worst solution for someone else. Yes, there can be some reasonable advisable solutions, but no one ever really knows what is best for someone else, and what is needed is going to be 100% dependent on each person’s journey. We ALL need a ton of different tools and solutions, likely delivered in different ways, at different times and stages in our lives based on the unique set of circumstances that IS our life. If we are carrying energy from previous lives, and every single experience we have in this lifetime is entirely unique to us, individually, then how can ANY one answer be the solution for everyone? How ludicrous is this belief I’m holding, or which is holding me back? And yet, why do I keep holding it so religiously? Why do I keep letting it control me?

The message on the mat this morning was the reminder that there is no “right and wrong”, no ONE best way to live life, to solve every human problem. There are a million different solutions and it all depends on what is needed by each individual in each moment. What is all of this for? To experience life, just as it is, just as we are, on our journey through it all.

The reality is, many people journey through this life on autopilot, or with very little awareness of themselves at a deeper level. Running away from or pushing down emotions, constantly stressed and caught up in the ego drive, letting the thought/logic brain to dictate every action and belief. Slow down. Pay attention. Don’t be afraid to look within and connect to yourself. In so doing, we begin to actually process this experience, become conscious of our journey, and see life from a very different perspective.

I’m tired of the rat race. There are a lot of things I want to be different in this lifetime; some of those I can change, some I cannot. Let’s start today, shall we?

Today, I’m re-releasing this bullshit idea that what I have to offer the world is not valuable because I don’t have everything figured out and that I don’t have THE one, right solution. I have what I have, which is a LOT. Surely, it can be helpful to someone. Stop comparing myself and start living from my awakened heart.

What have you had enough of and are ready to change today?

If you find yourself in a space of low energy, low vibration, or just low on guidance, know that there are lots of solutions! I can help with spiritual guidance, health coaching, Reiki Healing, Yogic practices and more. If you’re ready to “uplevel” your life and get more out of this experience, schedule a free consult today and let us explore together.
