2021: ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE STORM?

With our outside World turning upside down and descending into apparent chaos, this is something I’ve been asking myself more frequently, especially over the past few weeks. Life is really starting to wear me down and make me question if I am strong enough & brave enough to keep doing the scary things I need to do to pursue my life purpose and be of value in the World right now...

For those of you who do not know me, hi I’m Maria and for some reason I chose to be here as a Spiritual teacher during this crazy time in our lives!

I am a Reiki master teacher, healer, clairvoyant/intuitive and I am on my quest to live my life with spiritual harmony and healing at the forefront - to become a High Priestess, and help others unveil their own individual spiritual path. This essentially means I’m having to delve into the deeper, unknown parts of life as we socially conditioned Westerners know it - as well as the darker parts, the taboo parts to heal, understand it & leverage it - this includes the spiritual side of us as humans (we've heard of the mind, body & soul - well a lot of us have neglected and rejected the soul part for a very long time).

Sounds like something out of a Marvel or Disney movie doesn’t it? As well as seemingly pretentious - and to some downright absurd & kookie.

(If you are the latter – or think that I’m some kind of Charlatan – hold on a sec – I mean I’m not here to convince you what I am saying is true or false, that’s not my job, but there is a reason more people than ever around you (or at least someone that you know) are having spiritual awakenings and more inclined to spiritual practices and delving into this aspect of the human life – which if you are intrigued to know more about – don’t worry, I have another blog coming for you. The World is changing and transforming & we are here to live more spiritually in tune and conscious lives whether you believe it or not)

But never the less, helping people get in touch with their soul & spirit IS what I’m here for.

Lately I've been struggling with this.

I don't know about you but, everything is feeling like a mammoth task and quite frankly, it feels like I'm holding the weight of the World on my shoulders.

It feels like I’m taking this journey through the chaos and darkness on my own (although I know I’m not alone).

The more I watch (or hear people talking) about the news, read the social media news feeds and see people continuously talk & have emotive reactions about the dreaded C word, the Government and the World at large, it literally makes me want to shrink & curl up in a ball then wake up in 5 years time if I’m totally honest.

As the pressure starts to boil and I can FEEL it for everyone - and it's bloody overwhelming!

So I go back to the question of am I strong enough?? And there have been times like lately where it has felt like it’s been a categorical NO.

The real answer to this question appears to be THIS:

“You will only be strong enough if you choose to be”

There are many things in this life that are seemingly out of our control. And from a deeper spiritual perspective there are situations, things, people & lessons to learn that are all in fact Pre-determined (if you know, you know) - but there are a lot of things that ARE WITHIN OUR CONTROL. When we came to this Earth we came with the fundamental truth and law of Free will which equals = choice. You can choose & choose again. If you choose the right action steps, that can take you to a place of inner strength that we all need right now.

This last year has been an emotional and confronting journey for EVERYONE no exceptions, YES the unknown is always a scary concept, but a lot of us (obviously me included) are forgetting we have a choice to decide how we go from here.

So how do you want your life to be?

Do you want your life to be dictated by external and outside forces?

Are you giving your power away?

Do you want to immerse yourself in the feelings of stuckness, insecurity, fear, grief and the drama of the external World at large or do you want to choose differently?

Do you want to have the courage to choose again ?

THE DECISION IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE UP TO YOU – NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE AROUND YOU LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE – THAT IS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH

What and how do you want to experience things right now? Do you want to carry on with a fearful and bleak outlook on the year ahead or do you want to regain your inner strength and take control to see things differently? Are you willing to try and see your current situation from a different perspective?

Please ask yourself the hard questions, because that’s where the magic happens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so you’ve may have had a think on it and know what you want to experience and how you want things to be, but how do you take the next steps, to drown out the scary noise of the World and lead you on your life path to fulfilment and happier times??

YOU CAN ONLY REALLY CONTROL WHAT YOUR OUTSIDE WORLD LOOKS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE TO YOU BY GOING WITHIN - DEEP WITHIN.

That means looking at our past, present and future.

The good, the bad and the downright ugly.

Are there things you’ve brushed under the carpet and not dealt with, like heartbreak, grief, frustration or childhood trauma?

Are you pursuing your dreams, are you limiting yourself in areas of your life? Do you know what you really want? Are you letting other people tell you what to do or how you SHOULD live your life or telling you how it should look? (believe me I have been there- I’m pretty sure my family didn’t think I should be pursuing the occult a.k.a clairvoyant career after spending 10’s of thousands on a half assed criminology degree, an English degree and several other random career pursuits)

Are you envisioning what you want your life to look like or are you just taking it day by day hoping someone will save you soon?

2021 is the year of YOU, it is the year of finding our truth and what is true for you –

it is the year where we DO or DIE (Not necessarily physical death but an inner death – a death of the soul)

You can choose to heal, figure it all out, grow, save yourself and thrive or NOT.

You can choose to be brave and explore your options or you can stay stuck & afraid and shrink.

It is your life and the time is NOW

The choice is and always will be within you.

Choose wisely.

Love & Magic,

Maria x
