“…The road that leads to my healing and awakening runs deep inside me. It is not a path I walk outside of myself but a journey I live on from within. My path is the sum of all life’s experiences, with the people I interact with, the choices I make every day, and all that challenges me to expand and surrender to the infinite, all-encompassing Love of the Divine. I Am the Path!…”
-Michela-
I remember slumbering through days when I felt completely numb. Sometimes, I would see the hint of an energy moving around me. I could not connect with myself and felt neither sorrow nor joy.
I couldn’t understand what was happening and felt empty and limbo.
If you have experienced this, please keep reading. I hope that you’ll find healing, empowerment, and inspiration in my experience and the lessons that followed. I also hope you’ll find the courage to dive deeper within yourself at the source of your being so that you can be inspired to start your healing and take the first step to remembering your magic, beauty, power and who you truly are.
During those times, when everything seemed so weird, and my life felt stuck in an empty space, I did not realise the power of the healing I was creating and receiving every day. It was very subtle, almost imperceptible, but powerful. Healers often think that when we move through a healing journey, we must experience intense emotions, a powerful transformation, profound dark moments and ecstatic feelings all the time! I am not saying it doesn’t happen; I know from experience it happens…. just not every day.
For some of us, healing may work differently. In my case, I found healing in the simple act of journaling every day or in the quiet moments I spent in nature. These were moments of personal reflection that brought me solace. I even found peace lying down on my bed and observing the light of the sun moving through the leaves of the trees in the garden and the dance of the leaves with the wind. I was mesmerised and in a state of peace for an entire afternoon. It is a slow but powerful and constant inner journey.
About 20 years ago, when I consciously started my spiritual journey, I liked listening to other people talk about their spiritual experiences. Although I felt Joyful when hearing their beautiful stories of healing and awakening, I experienced deep sadness too. I was comparing myself and my journey to others, and in doing so, I failed to experience my own healing and awakening. I had ecstatic moments and deep dark nights, but most of the time, my healing was so deep and so powerful that paradoxically, on the surface of my being, I experienced very little. I thought there was something wrong with me and that I couldn’t feel, heal or connect like others were describing and doing.
Then, one day, I looked back at my life, and everything changed.
I have been going through a massive transformation, a deep healing process, and truth be told, I was lucky to have experienced it my way. The energy of healing and transformation has been moving through me, from deep within me, in an almost imperceptible way. I didn’t always hear angelic choirs or see bright lights. I kept moving within in the ways I felt guided to do. Through ups and downs, wrong turns and lessons, I eventually understood that the road to my healing and awakening runs deeply inside me. It is not a path I walk outside of myself but a journey I live from within.
I understood that my path is the sum of all life’s experiences, including the people I interact with, the choices I make every day, and everything that challenges me to expand and surrender to the infinite, all-encompassing Wisdom of the Goddess. I am on the path!
Most of the time, when I communicate with the Divine (however you perceive it), I don’t have out-of-body experiences; I am not taken to a distant galaxy… I am here now, listening with my womb, heart and mind. My communication with the Divine happens inside me in straightforward ways. It also happens when I observe nature and when I truly listen. The day I surrendered and opened to communing with Spirit wasn’t specific. Still, it was a lifetime of experiences, lessons, and surrendering moments… that eventually urged me to look back and see how much transformation I have been bringing forth since the day I was born.
There is no right or wrong on the path of self-discovery and awakening; there are no strict rules or models to follow. Above all, please do not have expectations and do not compare your experiences to others.
During this exploration of my being, towards the ultimate goal of realising the divine presence within and around me, I discovered what I needed to commit to this work, to my path: A profound, visceral, and incorruptible need to meet the Divine inside of me and all around me and the indestructible willingness to know myself honestly.
We are all experiencing this life on earth in different ways, and we must embrace that. What works for me doesn’t necessarily work for you, and vice versa. The healing journey can make us experience ecstasy, see bright lights, hear angelic voices, move through extreme pain, and surrender, but it is often a more straightforward experience.
Whatever your experience is, embrace it. Your journey is unique, and the lessons it brings are yours to learn from. Embracing who you are and your unique journey is a crucial part of your healing and awakening process.
Love everything about yourself because this is your journey, and you are your journey. Embracing and loving yourself unconditionally is not just part of the journey but the journey itself. It is one of the keys to unlocking your true potential and finding peace.
Many Blessings on your journeys, wherever it leads you (within and without). I am grateful for the opportunity to share my journey with you, and I wish you all the best as you embark on your path of healing and awakening.
With Mother’s Love & Grace, Always
Michela
