My Spiritual Journey
Through my energy healing training, I experienced a profound shift—both sudden and gradual—that awakened me to my spiritual path. I began to lift what yoga calls maya, the veil of illusion, and live more fully in my truth.
Maya is often described as a spiritual illusion—one that hides the underlying oneness of the universe and makes the world appear divided and separate.
This is a core principle in yoga: to see through the illusion that society projects and remember who we truly are. For many of us, including myself, we’ve had to build walls to protect ourselves from judgment, persecution, bullying, misunderstanding, and labeling. For a long time, it felt impossible to simply be me.
I feared the judgment that might come with being free. I worried about being perceived as “too much,” “against the grain,” or “lacking common sense.” So, like many, I shaped my life to fit in.
My maya was the belief that I wasn’t free to be me.
The Ego: Destruction and Redefinition
The ego is the collection of roles we take on to survive in the world. These roles are often handed to us by family, religion, politics, culture, education, or even media. We absorb and act out identities—mother, daughter, employee, spiritual seeker, believer of this or that—often without realizing how confined we’ve become by them.
Yoga teaches that part of the path is destroying the ego—not in a violent way, but by transcending the illusions it creates. Through self-reflection and detachment, we begin to glimpse the truth:
We are not our roles.
We are not our titles or beliefs.
We are not separate.
We are spirit, energy, consciousness, light—what some call Chi, Ki, Prana, or the Wise One Within (WOW). Whatever language you use, it exists. It’s within us, and it connects all things.
But here’s what I’ve learned: we may never fully eliminate the ego—and that’s okay. Instead, we can redefine it. And this, to me, is the most magical part of the journey.
I sat down and wrote out my roles: Sister, Daughter, Mother, Wife, Energy Healer, Earth Lover, Spiritual Being. Then, I reimagined them. I reshaped each one in a way that felt aligned with who I am now—not who I was taught to be.
Creating the Magic
As I redefined my identity, I started to see everything differently.
I understood that food could either heal or harm, that it impacts my hormones, mood, and energy. I realized that too much digital stimulation left me feeling ungrounded, unable to process emotions or connect deeply. And from there, I began to discover what I now call the “secret sauce” of my life.
I looked to the sun and felt its healing frequency—how it activates Vitamin D, boosts serotonin, reduces blood pressure, and lightens our mood. I connected with the chakras and meridians, and suddenly, everything around me became energy, frequency, and intelligence. I felt empowered. I felt like I had control over my own life for the first time.
Energy Meets Physics
Let me preface this by saying I’m not a physicist. But what I’ve learned has shifted my understanding of reality.
Modern physics is exploring things once labeled “woo” or pseudoscience: black holes, wormholes, energy fields. What was once considered fringe is now finding scientific support.
We are not just physical beings. We are energy, too.
Albert Einstein’s famous equation E=MC² (Energy = Mass × Speed of Light²) proves that mass and energy are interchangeable. You cannot have a physical body without an energetic imprint.
Google it:
Humans are electromagnetic.
Our cells generate energy.
Our neurological signals are electrical.
Our hormones are chemical messengers.
Our movement generates kinetic energy.
Every single part of us is vibrating energy. And that energy has intelligence.
So, whether you call it Spirit, Soul, Light, Chi, Prana, or WOW (Wise One Within)—it exists. It is real. And it is you.
Are You Ready to Begin Your Soul’s Journey?
Here’s one final piece of wisdom I’ll leave you with:
Once you open yourself to this path, don’t be surprised if the Universe starts sending signs—a synchronicity, a conversation, a nudge. You’ll start to hear the whispers. And yes, that was a sign. Follow it.
If you feel called to explore your own soul’s path, I’d be honored to walk with you.
