Day 237 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - You May Not Experience...
/Lesson 237: You May Not Experience...
We don’t always feel connection with others upon the first meeting. It may take some time or you may need to understand their personalities before you feel some form of Oneness. You might actually feel this with the people that you already have in your life. Then there is the flip side where you gel instantly with strangers and it’s easier with them, than your family and current friends. Today we are to think about a time we felt fully connected to a group of people you didn’t know. What were you doing and what did you experience?
I’ve come to the conclusion that home is where the heart is but also that heart is where your home is. I felt most at home when I started working at a witchcraft store near the start of my spiritual journey. I was so scared of the unknown – whether or not I’d fit in, whether or not it was right for me, whether I’d gel with people. As I slowly got used to feeling comfortable in my own skin, I felt true connection with the customers coming in. I didn’t know anyone personally and even though I was working a retail front, it gave me reign to talk about topics of spirituality that I may not have had normally. It was interesting to find everyone on their personalised journey and what a wide array of learning I needed to do. I am still very much learning but talking to people of all different spiritual paths allowed me to be more open. I loved listening to people’s stories.
As I attended workshops or rituals, I found I was feeling more at home than I ever was. I could connect with complete strangers in ways I didn’t think possible. It gave me an experience I’d never had before. Not saying that in my life I didn’t have good experiences, but I felt with connecting with these strangers, I was more of myself or it opened up a side of myself I didn’t know I had.
I think the concept of Oneness will definitely allow me to be more understanding of interconnected energy. We can all establish true connection if we allow ourselves to be more open.
