MiddleAgedLadyShit is a spiritual account
MiddleAgedLadyShit is a spiritual account. It doesn’t look like other spiritual accounts. You will more likely see pics of corn fields than meditators on mountains.
Which is pretty much the point.
I’ve consciously been on a spiritual journey for 10 years. I use tools like meditation, yoga, prayer, and sound healing every day. I’ve often wondered when I’d “come out” as a spiritual being; wondering if I’d post pics of myself in lotus pose or chilling with a bunch of crystals.
My experience is that these things we label as “spiritual” are tools. Amazing tools that have helped me unearth my most authentic self. (And are often culturally-appropriated and allow for spiritual bypassing, which is a convo for another day.)
I adore the freedom I’ve discovered through a dedicated mindfulness practice. It’s helped me to see all the ways I’ve been programmed and manipulated to believe I’m not enough. It’s helped me see how I’ve manipulated, judged, and made assumptions about others. It helps me live in the peace of knowing I’m doing my best while opening me up to ways I can do better.
My spiritual journey has been about me remembering who I am and who I came here to be. Turns out, my spirituality is rooted in my roots of being a farm kid from Iowa. A kid who loves living in Colorado and being in the sunshine. She loves to dance and sing with her daughter and wax philosophically over drinks with her friends.
I came to this planet to be me. Just as you came to this planet to be you. If me being me, through this account, helps you remember who you are and take steps toward your own authenticity, then this little venture will be worth it.
The world needs us to be our most authentic selves. To stop playing small. To stand up for truth. And the best way we can do this is to know—deeply know—our own hearts. To get out of our victim mindsets and bravely create a new paradigm for our beautiful earth.
Right now, this is my truth. I don’t know what will happen next, I’m going to choose presence. I hope you’re able to find presence with yourself and your experience, too.
