Evolution of {My} Self

There is always some kind of information floating around for self improvement. All the how to’s over the years has actually made me more anxious within. What about you? How do you feel initially upon reading about self help tips and tools?

I have learned to embrace the ideas and phase of bettering myself over the years gracefully. What does that look like you ask… Well first I am a spiritual being and I recognize the importance of that for my journey. My spirit is inhabiting this flesh human suit while on this journey of self discovery and learning my soul. I realized I am only trying to recall what my higher self already knows.

Therefore, I have had many experiences of healing through shadow work, therapy, and counseling. Life has also afforded me the opportunity to learn through relationship connections and exposure to certain persons and environments. The greatest asset during all these experiences is and was my awareness. My ability to be aware of what was happening and the gull of me to hold myself accountable when needed. Realizing choices and decisions I make play a major part of this journey.

Choosing spirituality over religion was the beginning of me gaining greater insight to self. I use the word spirituality lightly because it has become such a trend these days. Yet I believe it is truly what defines my lifestyle and way of living. I have connected with Source of life more over time after leaving religion than I ever had before. I don’t knock religion for others because it was the beginning path I was given and a good foundation of practice to start. However, I am so thankful for the evolution of self that led me to greater practices of self awareness.

So back to the evolution of self… there is so much to say and such little time right? Wrong, I create my reality and I believe in this moment I’d like to make a series of literature based upon this subject of interest. So as long as you tune in we will dive deep. The evolution of my self began with realizing that I exist for a reason.

As a kid I often wondered why I was here. Where did I come from and where will I go after this life ends. At first I was scared and afraid that hell would be my dwelling place because of my actions throughout life. Then I expanded. I learned that heaven and hell are states of consciousness. Realms of awareness and present opportunities for persons to figuratively relate to what they have been exposed to and perhaps taught.

With that being said, I began to focus more on my journey and connection to the supreme source of life that gave me my existence. Grateful to my mother and father for playing their part. I started my journey of learning thyself. Which for me meant learning about source of life.

I started a practice called maum meditation which allowed me to release emotions and energies that I had retained from birth until that moment of encounter with the practice. Going through this process cleared my soul and physical being in ways that were astounding to me. I had never experienced anything like it. I slept better. I had more patience with my daughters and husband at the time, but most of all I had a greater appreciation for me.
