A Magical Life: My Spirituality Story

My story with spirituality starts where most “finding yourself” stories begin… when I hit rock bottom!

As a little girl, I always felt in tune with a “greater force” or something bigger than my existence. I never “saw things “ but I would feel things, I would predict things (hello master manifestor) and I trusted myself more than anything. I grew up fascinated with Ancient Egypt, fairies (I often think I am truly Wendy out of Peter Pan) and Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Before Christmas was always on repeat. But fast forward to years of society conditioning, eldest daughter syndrome to immigrant parents, striving for perfectionism, and comparisonitis… I lost that inner peace, my sense of belonging and self trust.

In my 20’s, I experienced toxic relationships, eating disorders, negative self-talk… at one point, I truly believed I didn’t deserve to be here anymore! And one day, it all switched for me internally. I realised, I was controlling the narrative here, and I didn’t have to live this way anymore. I was in complete control - I was an adult now and I could dictate my life. You really are the director to your own life… and your thoughts create your reality!

In 2016 (this wasn’t that long ago mind you), I began to explore more about spirituality, living with intention and harnessing the power of the universe. I think the first book I read was The Secret! I mean.. who hasn’t read it?

And I began to read more. Open up my eyes more. I read all the books from all the greats - Louise Hay, Paulo Cohelo, Don Miguel Ruiz, Gabby Bernstein. I learned about cyrstals, the star signs, the moon and it all snowballed from there.

Only now in the last 2-3 years, I’ve really prioritised my spirituality and living with purpose and intention. It is a part of my everyday life, and as I began to learn more, I realised, I was doing this all my life… but in different ways. I would create mini altars in my room, I would stir my soup or tea a certain way, I would always have a candle burning. As a dear Libra sister of mine would say, “Life is one big magical ritual.”

Now, I relish in the magic of my own rituals, have realised my words really are spells, and I am living truly in alignment with human design (any other generators out there?) check the astrology charts as if it was the weather and take time for stillness and introspection via meditation and journalling.

I also want to share… being “Spiritual”doesn’t mean pulling tarot cards, wearing crystals in your bra or casting spells. It can be anything you want it to be. It’s about living with intention. Living with mother nature. Living in sync with the cycles around us. Living with pure love and intent because everything is energy and is being mirrored right back to us.

Today, I am openly that “woo woo friend” or when you get to know me, you really do see my Libra traits. My boyfriend believes I have this uncanny ability to “control the weather” because let’s just say, when it rains… it pours.

So if you’re just starting out on this journey, are well seasoned or don’t know where to begin. I’ve listed some of my favourite resources to help you explore this beautiful, magical world further!
