I have always been rigid in my routines and struggle with perfectionism however that is changing…
The moment that started this change was a holiday that I booked last year. It was with a company called Journee and you told them your likes and dislikes and what kind of holiday that you want and then they book it all including excursions, you don’t find out where you are going until you get to the airport. It was incredibly freeing!!! I never thought that I could do something like that and although I had few worries on the lead up it was such an experience. So basically since then and since I have realised that I do not need to plan everything and stick to it and it is filtering in to all areas of my life. It’s still not always easy, I was a bit peeved when I broke my 72 day meditation streak when I went away for the weekend and then got the flu 😂
Yes I completely agree that celebrations and gatherings are inherently spiritual! I’m not able to celebrate the Solstice this year as I would want to. I’m out with my sister and her children the night before, then I’m working, then out with a friend and then working so the whole Solstice period is a wipeout in terms of witchy rituals. However spending time with my sister is great for my shadow work (😂 we have a tricky relationship) and spending time with a good friend is a celebration in itself.
You get it hahaha! Also you’re brave. Just reading that gave me an uncomfortable amount of anxiety hahaha. Strong work on just trusting the process!!!
Whew! You have a busy week/holiday season! Remember that you can do your ritual whenever you want, even if it’s just a meditation and a quick candle. Time is sort of an illusion so adapt as you need to accommodate this late stage capitalist system.
My brother gave me our sister’s phone number 2 weeks ago. No I haven’t texted her 😅 best wishes with your sister 💜
Thank you! I did actually feel very brave when I did that holiday!
Yes absolutely! I’m hoping to fit in an online meditation if I can.
That relationship will start to heal when you are ready and not before or it may never happen but it’s good to have the option! Wishing you all the best too 💜
I totally agree with celebrations and gatherings having spiritual meaning. I see spirituality as a way to connect, to Source and to each other. Recently, the community I've worked in for almost 10 years experienced the loss of a beloved community member, and the days following that gathering with people helped me process the loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💜 I’m really glad that you had people around to for collective processing and grieving.
I know what I’m saying isn’t new by any means, but coming from a very white lens and existence where my family was very much outside of the community we could have been in, I feel like this is one of the first times that I’ve ever processed community gathering/celebration as a spiritual experience.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and such a vulnerable experience 💜
