It’s Time To ‘Wake Up’

There are so many spiritual, new age and natural health practices out there nowadays that we are trying to parachute into our modern-day lives. The result is this grinding juxtaposition of your Tuesday night yoga class, Wednesday night massage or week-long yoga retreat against the chaos and spiritual distress of your everyday life.

You might feel this clash as soon as you make the lonely commute home after the classes and events that actually do fill your heart, or during the social night out full of alcohol which barely scrapes the surface of what you really want to feel nourished. Or perhaps you feel it most when you wake up to another day in a concrete jungle overwhelmed with technology that’s meant to help you connect with people – somewhat bizarre when in reality people barely feel comfortable raising a smile as they walk past you in the street.

WAKING UP

Maybe it’s when you wake up in the morning and drag yourself to another adrenalin-fuelled day at work as the pressure is on. Not the pressure for you to achieve what’s deep in your longing soul, all the compacted dreams you’ve got stowed away in there from the day you were born, but simply the pressure to make money for ‘someone’ as you face the bleak reality that you’re just another person in the rat race. Or maybe waking up to another day in a job you hate or just tolerate is all you have as you just don’t know what else to do!

Possibly it strikes you most as you are rushing around frantically in the winter feeling exhausted to your bones, catching a glimpse out the corner of your eye at nature and the trees around you that are seemingly still, having a rest, but having no time to muse on that as you’ve got to keep pushing to get things done!

Perhaps it’s when your backache or depression becomes so bad you finally go to the doctor’s hoping for some kind of healing for the problem but instead walk out despairingly with another packet of painkillers or antidepressants?

Or is it when you end another relationship because it just doesn’t match up to the Hollywood image of how it’s meant to be?

What is going on?!

THE MIND BODY CONNECTION

Nobody told you it was going to be like this, did they? These ideas were force-fed to you as being the norm from the day you were born and pushed even more as soon as you got into school: ‘real life’ they call it. And you were meant to fall for it, hook, line and sinker, and you once did, but the only problem now is that you’ve started to wake up.

The connection with your soul and natural life has been stoked by your engagement with these soulful natural practices such as yoga, dance, mindfulness and time spent in nature, and now there is no going back! You can try putting your head back into the sand after the bliss of your class or retreat, try getting back to the ‘real life’ you are meant to dutifully play out, but it’s too late.

Whether you like it or not, you’ve been reborn into your own soul wisdom, the chance and opportunity to live out your birthright of who you actually are. It’s time to close that gap between your bliss state when you do touch on the exalted territory of your heart and the rest of the f**king spiritually pitiful existence we have somehow contrived to create and become a diehard, authentic version of who you actually are. In all areas of your life!

It’s time to be given the instruction manual to be yourself that you should have been given the day you were born, if only the people around you knew it existed, and probably weren’t too bitter at the stress they had to endure in their own ‘real life’ to let you see it!

And here it is. Instead of filling your mind with ways to function in the ‘real world’ (which in fact is a crazy construct of Western civilisation which mostly pulls you away from everything that is naturally and actually important to you), here are the instructions to find who you are and how to function as a naturally exhilarated person in this reality and hack the system altogether!

Learn how to connect with your soul and interpret when it’s whispering meaningful actions to take in your life, and how to feel it right now in your heart when you are doing something that’s meaningful TO YOU.
