Finding Balance: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing

Written on

Chapter 1: Embracing Personal Growth

In every year, unique challenges arise that foster personal development. This year has certainly been no exception. The initial months saw me on a solitary quest to uncover my purpose, heal from past traumas, and tap into my resilience. I came to the realization that my feelings for my ex had faded—especially after the hardships endured—and that my heart was now drawn to my muse. This revelation was a delightful surprise! I discovered that I am enough, that this life is my dream, and that I embody the spirit of a chamana, a healer, a singer, a supporter, and an angel. I feel profoundly grateful to understand my identity and my purpose in this life.

Upon returning home in mid-March, just in time to celebrate my muse’s birthday, I found it challenging to re-establish my morning routine. Despite numerous attempts, consistency eluded me. I don’t hold myself accountable for this; after all, life is a process.

After my recent trip to Oaxaca, I recognized the importance of granting myself grace and processing the insights I've gained about myself. As a wise friend, Erin, reminded me during a tumultuous time following a near-fatal car accident, it’s essential to allow myself moments of reprieve.

Morning meditation and yoga practice

My muse has inspired me to embrace grace in my journey. After returning from Oaxaca, he resumed his routine of swimming in the sea after work—a therapeutic ritual for him. It's fascinating that, as a divemaster, he seeks even more time in the water. Yet, it’s not just about the water; it’s about carving out time for himself. It’s his form of yoga, his method of processing life, and I admire this practice!

I yearn to return to my own routine: morning meditation at sunrise, yoga, singing, poetry writing, cycling to my meditation spot, hatha yoga, and journaling or studying sacred texts. I cherish playing chess with my muse over our morning coffee before breakfast. It may sound like a lot, but I don't engage in every activity daily—except for yoga meditation, which truly sets a positive tone for my day. There are days when I simply rest and sleep in, then meditate with my coffee before moving forward.

Chapter 2: The Importance of Consistency

Perfection isn't the goal; consistency is. It's about striving to elevate your vibrations and becoming a better version of yourself each day. Each new day is a fresh opportunity to revel in existence and inch closer to realizing your purpose.

Every time I meditate, I connect deeply. I channel poetry or songs, heal parts of myself, and sense my surroundings—both the living and the spiritual. I connect with God and reflect on my existence. I ponder how to take even the smallest steps toward my purpose: aiding others in their healing journey. As articulated in the Sedaka Sutta, looking after oneself equates to caring for others, and vice versa.

This insight resonates with a profound lesson from a chaman during my second ayahuasca ceremony: “You cannot heal others until you’ve healed yourself.” This understanding nurtures my daily practice of mindful acceptance of my existence, of being at peace in my body and life, and embracing divine love, acceptance, and gratitude.

Witnessing my muse engage in his daily practices fills me with immense gratitude. I feel fortunate to have a partner who inspires me to be my best self. His example encourages my own growth, and I am filled with joy and pride in our connection. Finding a compatible partner who shares similar philosophies and lifestyles creates a deep sense of gratitude for the beauty of life.

I aspire to wake up tomorrow, bask in the sun's healing rays, affirm my existence, and draw inspiration to continue my journey.

May you be uplifted by the souls around you to become your best self.

AHO
