Interestingly my kids were watching Young Sheldon yesterday and he had a dream that the no 1 and 0 were talking to him about the binary nature of life. Very much like the Taoist beliefs about living in harmony and the idea of opposite forces of yin and yang. Everything exists in life in a balance of opposites, light-dark, male-female, sun-moon, sky-earth, night-day, being-doing, winter-summer, order-chaos, etc. I loved it! Thanks Sheldon, as this is a part of my philosophy and beliefs in life.

This duality in life is what I know to be true, even though I sometimes rally against it. Against the truth that chaos is needed, that suffering exists, that violence, selfishness and hatred are a part of this world and help create a balance and harmony. Without one, we would not know the other, it sucks, but that’s reality. We need to accept it, or we rally forever in this push/pull motion between love and hate, fear and hope. Stuck in angst, conflict and needless suffering, trying to find meaning in it all, as we are prone to do.

I don’t think I’ve written about my spiritual journey before, of course I write about this topic everyday, I just haven’t offered it up as a whole life journey so far. It started when I was a teenager, our way of life just didn’t make sense or give me meaning, I needed more than Catholic Church on Sundays. I needed more than what our popular culture offered, buying the latest and greatest, cheap thrills, competitive sports or another activity to fill my days.

My soul yearned for more, for more meaning. I had to seek it out on my own, as I didn’t know this was what I was missing. I did however, love hanging out with my friends having D & M’s (deep and meaningful conversation) about life and death, I loved studying art and religion, things that gave me a sense of awe and wonder about the nature of reality and life itself. A philosopher at heart.

What I wanted to write about today was my spiritual journey, I started meditating and channeling as a teenager, it was powerful for my young, open mind. My search for meaning found ridiculous old religious dogma, it just didn’t resonate with me, we were living in a new age of scientific invention, technology and exploration, I needed more.

All I knew was that there was more to life than what we see, I felt it. (A true religious or spiritual experience right) I felt the energy of life, the earth, the stars, the people, I felt this invisible energy. Unsatisfied, I searched for meaning, I studied art and traditional chinese medicine, “feel the Chi flowing” they said. So next step, I learnt Reiki, I was BLOWN AWAY!

Learning how to feel and see energy was a trip, the most eye opening journey of my life. Confirming all the things I thought to be true, that there is more to life. That the inner journey is just as important as the outer one. It showed me a place of peace, truth and wisdom within. It took me on journeys of the spirit. To seek guidance. To connect deeply with myself. To create stillness within, and therefore without. That the mind is the body and the body is the mind, we are energy. That we are all connected by our energy. To find deep love for myself. To open my mind and my heart. To find balance and harmony. To free myself.

Reiki energy healing grounds me, it centers and balances me in my body, in my mind, I feel calm. It connects me to myself, deeply, I trust in myself anew and most importantly, I feel love for myself again.
