Finding Our Own Paths
Entering into our own spirituality is a private journey.
Each of us will be drawn to a different gateway
to begin on our personal path to awakening
to a greater experience of ourselves.
Even though we may be taught certain philosophies
or beliefs as children, we still need to find
our own way of understanding
and applying them in our lives.
For those who are raised
without a spiritual framework,
they may not even know their process
as a form of spirituality.
But at some stage in their lives,
whether in youth or adulthood,
they are likely to recognize
the resonance of their beliefs,
the ring of truth in their philosophy,
and their dedication to their chosen purpose.
Our inner guidance will lead us,
so that we will be drawn
to the right doorway for us–
a doorway that only we can recognize
by the way it makes us feel inside.
It could be a picture of an angel or the gift of a crystal.
We may meet someone special
who shares their experiences with us
in a way that we find intriguing.
While visiting the home of an admired friend,
we may notice a book or statue of a deity,
and ask why they chose those tools.
Or a word or phrase
may catch our attention in a song, or a lecture.
For some, they may find their way
by walking through the experience of illness
before they begin the search
for what will help them to truly heal,
while others may seek physical improvement
and stumble across yoga or meditation–
only to find that it leads them
to an unexpected place beyond the body.
As we awaken to ourselves and to life,
we will become more attuned to what is right for us.
The universe speaks to all of us
through infinite channels,
but we each have our own frequency.
Others may share what worked for them,
but only we can decide what truly makes us feel
inspired… awakened…connected…
fully conscious…aware… and alive.
Whatever our path,
it is perfect and meant especially for us.
