The Unexpected Journey

For the first time, I made the conscious choice to travel on my own and experience the freedom of the solo journey. Through my earlier experiences in life, I never had the knowledge of how important it is to explore and have experiences as an individual. I set off with no actual plans in place. The truth was I thought this would be an easy trip of fun and freedom. What happened was something quite different.

Upon my arrival I found myself feeling happy and free to navigate around the Palm Springs area of California. Doing the usual trip to the grocery store to stock up on food for the vacation stay and kicking back to relax in the sunshine and palm trees.

Over the past few years as I have been transforming, so have many areas in my life. I find myself looking to do more things that connect with my spirit. I’m a huge fan of crystals and I heard not too far away there is a town called Quartzite that has amazing gems for sale. After doing my research on how to get there and the amount of time it would take, the night before I prepared a game plan. As I was getting organized, I found that I was feeling some resistance. The resistance to go, not because of the fear of something happening but the old fear that I’ve experienced in my life, old childhood patterns. The fear of not feeling deserving of this experience. I knew that I would have to dig deep to overcome this situation, not to change the feeling of it but to change the energy of it.

The following morning, I got up early and found myself consciously saying, just get inside the car and everything will be ok. So that is precisely what I did. I packed up and got in my rental vehicle and started the road trip. Immediately after I left the complex, I felt the energy around me shift, from one of fear to fun and excitement. The excursion was amazing and felt so meaningful. I felt proud and brave for pursuing what I wanted even with the resistance. If you stop, take a few deep breaths, put your hand on your heart, then ask yourself, ‘why am I feeling this way?’ You will receive the answer.

Over the course of the trip, I continuously had these moments show up. The fear would come forward and I would talk to myself to ask why I’m feeling this way and the answers always came back to old childhood patterns and conditions. Old beliefs that no longer resonate with me were surfacing. It seemed like I was being put to the universal test of how much I believe in myself and what I’ve learned through my spiritual practices. While every uncomfortable feeling revealed itself, I was able to move through them energetically. All that was needed was to physically move, to move that energy around and get out of my mind and into my body.

There were so many wonderful and beautiful first experiences on the trip. Every time I trusted myself, I was able to check off the items off my bucket list. Through the bumps on the trip, I was able to come back to my center and feel empowered by overcoming those challenges. The journey allowed for me to embody the work I practice daily. Releasing old energy and opening space to receive new energetic upgrades. Reinforcing my trust in my journey of living a life of love, strength and wisdom and sharing it with others.

You truly never know what the journey is ready to reveal, especially when you least expect it. Just a gentle reminder that you are ready for it, that is why it comes to the surface. For you to heal old wounds and open space for kind, gentle, and loving experiences.

Happy Exploration!!
