The trap of perfect spirituality
Today I would like to talk about something that feels really icky within the spiritual community online.
it’s the pressure around showing up perfectly during the big energetics, or open gates, or new moons, or in full moons… the way spiritual leaders talk about them online makes me feel scared that if I don’t show up perfectly during these times I’m going to miss my chance and I will forever suffer from it.
Every time I see a post or a video talking about how important it is to be perfect in the midst of chaos, the more I contract and fall back into “bad” habits. I don’t believe in the narrative that there is only one perfect timing to manifest your dreams and that if you don’t show up a certain way it will pass you by.
This is because I believe that what is meant for you is yours already. nothing you do will change that. being able to lean back and allow myself to show up every day as I truly am- messy, chaotic, and untamed rather than who I think I should be brings me great pleasure and a sense of softness towards life. because I trust in my healing journey. I trust it will unfold naturally because the universe is here ready to initiate me into my destiny. I don’t have to do anything. I radiate my truth and I magnetize towards me everything that’s meant for me. as much as I would like to think I’m in control of life I’m not. how many times have I created a plan, had an agenda, fought for something only for the universe to pull me away and drop me in the depths of the unknown giving me the chance to explore a whole New World that I wouldn’t have been able to even dream of?
I always go back to the start of my spiritual journey; how it happened outside of my control. I wasn’t seeking it, I wasn’t even working on myself… I was just living! and I was still forged into the woman I am today by the universe because that’s the path that’s best and true for my soul.
So if there is anything I would like people to get from this is that being imperfect is OK not knowing where you’re going is OK even being stuck is OK.
you’re not late. you’re not going to miss your chance. focus on living. practice detachment. Accept change. have faith. and live true to yourself.
Life will lead you and your heart will be at ease.
Trust me. when I started to think and approach life in this way my heart softened and I was able to finally relax and be able to truly experience life -not just survive it, but to be fully in it.
