Hey there, beautiful ones! Today, I want to delve into a topic that has profoundly shaped my life and perhaps yours too – spirituality. It’s been a focal point in my life these days, transforming my understanding of myself and the universe. But it wasn’t always this way. My journey started with religion, a path that ultimately led to a spiritual awakening and a newfound peace.
From Christianity to Islam: A Religious Journey
I spent the first part of my life as a Christian and then 15 years as a Muslim. Both religions have good qualities and powerful messages that deeply influenced me. However, the construct of religion also caused a lot of mental and emotional damage. The rules, the expectations, and the constant feeling of not measuring up created a storm within me. As a Christian, I was always worried about sin and judgment. As a Muslim, I faced similar anxieties about adhering to every rule perfectly.
When I began my healing journey, I realized how much religion had caused pain in my life. I decided to step back and reassess my beliefs. This was when a spiritual awakening happened, changing my life forever.
Awakening to Spirituality: The Turning Point
In spirituality, I discovered there is more to life than having a “sky daddy.” I realized that I am part of a greater whole, and we are all connected, each one of us a mirror of the other. I learned that everything that makes up me is also how the Universe is designed. This realization brought a sense of wholeness I had never experienced before.
Before awakening to spirituality, I was quite fractured. My thoughts, emotions, and actions were disjointed, leading to a life of internal chaos. But now, I am more whole than I have ever been. Spirituality has also explained many of the things that happened when I was a kid that others said I was weird for, like being able to sense frequencies when no appliances were on.
The Peace of Spirituality: A New Reality
The peace I feel in my life now comes from my deep understanding of spirituality. I never had this kind of peace inside of religion. In fact, religion made me more anxious and depressed if I’m being honest. Don’t get me wrong, religions have a beautiful message within them. However, organized religion is tainted in more ways than one and history proves it.
Being spiritual has opened me to joy, peace, love, and freedom. Also, I have received more abundance than ever before. Honestly, spirituality saved my life. I was on a road of cycling between depressive and manic states every other day. It was exhausting. Since my awakening, I haven’t sniffed depression or mania, which is saying a lot for someone they claimed would have to deal with that for the rest of my life in one way or another.
This is in no way a means of bashing anyone with religious beliefs. This is a personal account and we all are different whether religious or spiritual. I tell you all this, my lovelies, because I want you to make an informed decision for yourself. I was religious because that’s what others wanted me to be and I thought I was supposed to be. Spirituality was my choice and mine alone. I hope you are making your own choices too.
Embrace Your Path
So, my lovelies, whether you choose religion, spirituality, or a mix of both, make sure it’s your choice. My journey from religion to spirituality was filled with challenges, but it led me to a place of profound peace and understanding. If you’re struggling with your path, remember that it’s okay to explore and find what truly resonates with you. The most important thing is that you find a path that brings you peace, joy, and a sense of wholeness. You’ve got this!
I believe in you. And remember, as always, I love you 💙
