Today I feel inspired to share a bit more of my spiritual path.
I already wrote about some of the struggles I faced last year and the lessons I've learned in my posts about my latest art series and it actually felt really good and I could release even more of the emotions by transforming them into words and sharing it.
Actually a huge part in this chapter of my life is self reflection, healing and inner growth.
I kind of always did that in a way, I started (or had to start ^^) quite early, inspired by my mother who suffered from a deep depression when I reached puberty and worked hard to get herself out of it since then. My Mum was in a lot of pain and that overshadowed my youth quite a bit, but also opened up the door to a world that many people don't see: our inner world, our soul, our deep emotions and psychology. I am grateful for that.
At the age of 13 I realized that in order to grow, to get better, to feel better, I have to look at myself closely and be radically honest to myself.
I can't say that I did that in all areas of my life since then and there were times when I neglected myself almost completely. But I could always fall back on to this "dogma" whenever I felt ready to do so, or whenever I felt so unhappy and hurt that there was really no other option ^^
I don't know why but lately I feel that the pace of my spiritual development has increased. I feel a great urge to go in that direction, it's like magic is calling me :)
Does anyone feel the same? I'd love to know if it's just me or if there's some kind of cosmic energy in the air!
Maybe it's necessary for the times to come. A lot of things are happening right now, the world is changing.
I get a lot of lessons and insights lately, I can see myself very clearly.
Also I always seem to find just the right books or other resources to give me another piece of the puzzle or to comfort me on my path.
The latest skill that I'm learning is the art of meditation.
As I've mentioned before I finally started to integrate "not-doing" into my days and it's doing a lot of good for my mental health and general feeling.
I really see it as a new skill and I'm slowly getting better at it (meaning, I get into a relaxed state quicker and am able to stay there longer and get more out of it). I start to really see the benefit. Not only a more calm mind and body but also a stronger connection to the Universe/my higher Self/God/Energy/Spirit/whateveryouwannacallit.
Meditation puts me into this very special state, and there anything is possible, I'm sure of that. It's a very magical place.
I've only dipped into it for now, but I'm practicing to strengthen my connection to it and I'm excited to explore this new world that I've discovered.
I feel very inspired to share more of my spiritual journey, apart from my art and traveling. It's all connected anyway.
Until now I didn't really know how to talk about those things (in English) and I also didn't feel quite comfortable to share so much of my inner world on the internet.
But this is changing somehow.
The words come more easily to me and I don't feel weird or anything.
It's also not really about me. It's about one human's path to freedom and happiness.
So this might be the start of a new chapter! I won't promise anything but I might post more of this part of my journey, whenever I feel inspired :)
Well, this post turned out a little unorganized ^^ It evolved spontaneously and very intuitive, not a lot of thinking involved. I love that!
Much love to you all <3
This is beautiful. and you are by no means alone in this. and yes, the cosmos is literally bombarding us with energies and light (=information) that is not only pushing a physiological evolution in us but also a strong spiritual sense. my personal journey started about 5 years ago when I moved to live on a farm, surrounded with nature in Portugal. my relationship to everything is in constant change. gratefulness has become deeply engrave in me. I practice both meditation and observation, sometimes with the help of mushrooms and my connection gets ever deeper as time passes.
you can read a little in this recent post:

what is your native language if I may ask ?
thank you for sharing !
Have you checked out Human Design at all and the changes coming in February 2027? You might find this interesting!
Ah, not really. I've read a little about the GeneKeys, but not much actually, but sounds super interesting! I don't actually know what human design is about although I can imagine I guess.
Do you know any good resources to check out?
Yes, lots of transformation happening. Although the times are tough sometimes, I'm sure it's for the better in the long term, for each of us individually and for whole humanity in general. If we all do our part of healing, the world will heal as well.
I find that through meditation I can achieve a state quite similar to the mushroom experience, it seems very close. It might also be because I already have experiences with mushrooms and can therefore connect back to that state of being.
They are great teachers for sure, a great tool for connecting to Nature and the Universe.
I scrolled through your blog and it seems you've built a beautiful life for yourself! I've been in that part of Portugal and left a piece of my heart there as well. When I worked there on a farm I realized for the first time that this is the way I actually want to live, and since then every step I take is in that direction.
I'm very pleased to meet to you! Always happy to connect to like-minded souls <3
edit: just saw your question. My first language is German, I'm from Northern Germany originally, just haven't been there for a while ^^
wunderbar. I could imagine you would have passed through here as many people do. good luck for you on your quest to swap the van for a little piece of heaven. you seem to be on the right path. if you are ever in Portugal again, please feel free to stop by, there is plenty of space here. take good care and enjoy the journey. tschüss.
Thank you for the good wishes, always appreciated <3 yes, if I make it to Portugal again, I'll let you know. Would love to get a tour of your farm :)
Thank you for sharing this! I am also on a spiritual journey that has taken off in the last few years. What's interesting is that there is definitely a movement toward the inner self happening in many different thoughts, practice and spiritualities. I'm thinking specifically about Human Design and the year 2027, but this is also echoed in many different places. I think a lot of people are beginning to feel the need for connection within themselves.
Personally, I've been meditating as well as cold plunges, writing, Yoga Nidra and Yoga, art, EFT and working in the Akashic Records. I had a 2 major losses in my life in September of 2021 that changed everything about how I approached my life. But it's an always evolving journey, isn't it?
I would love to see some of your art <3
Hey Hi!
Wow, you have a lot of tools in your tool box! Just had to look up some of them ^^
There are definitely a lot of different resources nowadays that can help us on the journey and make it easier to approach. I guess it has been more difficult a few decades back, when things like yoga and spirituality in general weren't so widely accepted in the west, and perhaps they weren't as necessary as they are now. These are exciting times we live in.
I just checked your blog and I love your approach to life and what you write about. Thank you for reaching out, so happy to connect <3
