When I look back in time I cannot help but to wonder, how different my life would have looked like if I had known what I know now when I first started.
When I first began my spiritual journey for me it was all about adding something more into my life. Whether it was in a form of learning more through reading about spirituality, meditating, practicing yoga or just looking for that next thing that I hoped could bring me closer to what I was searching for.
A more fulfilling life.
More love, happiness and something that I believed that success was.
However the more forward I walked on this path, the more I began to realize how it was not about adding something more into my life that ultimately allowed me to move forward.
But it was more about uncovering who and what everyone of us already were.
It was not about looking outside of myself to find that next practice of yoga or mediation technique that could take me to the next level. But it was more about getting deeper into myself, no matter of the form it took on the outside world.
It was more about uncovering what was already there within me.
With this discovery came also the realization how everyone of us already was on our own special spiritual paths.
It wasn’t that my own path only began when I consciously became interested in spirituality in my last years in the university. But it was right from the beginning I, like everyone of us, had been on my own journey discovering more of who and what we truly are.
Every single one of us we are already on our own journeys, walking forward on this path.
Every single hard experience or challenge that we have ever experienced, has always opened up a possibility for us to awaken to the beauty of who we truly are.
Every single problem that we have been facing, has been an opportunity for us to turn away from the suffering, and look to that direction of freedom that resides on the other side.
When we shift our focus from the physical and look within, we always find answers that are beyond this world that meets the eye.
We find answers that awaken that feeling of love and understanding within us. Answers that are so beautiful that we get tears in our eyes and that warm feeling into our hearts. Answers that always manifest into something beautiful in our lives.
This is us experiencing our own True nature. Experiencing that who and what, every single one of us, we are from the essence of our being.
We are something so beautiful that when we first get a feel of this, it touches our hearts in the most beautiful way.
See, there’s nothing you can have more in your life that can make you feel something more than what you already are. You already have all that beauty, happiness and love within you that you have ever been searching for, waiting to be uncovered by you.
There’s nothing more you can add to that how beautiful you already are and deep within your soul you already know how this is true.
Because you have all the access to this same understanding that moves my fingers on this keyboard and sees the words forming in front of my eyes.
The answer is always in the spiritual whether we realize it or not, and this is the closest I can get to sharing it with you. Now all you need is to look within and see the beauty of who and what you truly are.
Spirituality is not about adding something more into our lives, but it’s about uncovering more who and what we already are from that purest essence of our being.
