― Mateo Sol, Awakened Empath: The Ultimate Guide to Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Healing
How I was misguided about Meditation raised as a Christian.
The journey isn’t easy …. when we are awaken we can see what self sabotaging behaviors is stopping us from our hearts desire. How we become awaken to that is by fate. We run into people who mirror us, life changes. If its hard for us to see where we are sabotaging ourselves, the Universe will step in to help. “God never gives us more to handle than we can bare”.
Some people wonder what can they do to be able to see there self sabotaging side(shadow self)…and one would most likely ask “ Have you ever started meditating”? Coming from a Christian background …Meditating seemed unholy or evil. When you want better for yourself…when you try to mask things that has hurt you, or finding unhealthy coping ways to repress the pain you feel inside, you start to think maybe meditating couldn't be all THAT bad compared to how I already feel. Matter of fact if me meditating on positive things how can that be a portal to something demonic!? Unfortunately, I was taught to be afraid of these healthy coping mechanisms. I read the bible when I felt pain inside, I prayed, I cried. I’ve sung and even danced. But nothing compare to the wholeness I got while meditating . I prayed to God of my Universe. I played calming music with Chamomile/Sandwood incense infusing my senses. This has help me so much become comfortable with myself INSIDE, in my brain and in my heart…
Meditation was the start of my spiritual journey. It has been a tool I still use 5 yrs later to date…its like the kinder part of your soul that you get to tap into whenever you need …whenever those cloudy thoughts start to roll in. So I guess they are right about Meditation being a Portal. A portal to higher and healthier SELF. You’ll get there Queens. Stay Strong. ❤ 🙏
