I have been reading a book called “the book of secrets” by the author Deepak Chopra. Each chapter tells you about an interesting topic of life, facts that although we live with us since our birth, we are not able to see or appreciate because of how deep we are in the life that others have designed for us. I really like this kind of books that help you connect with the spiritual, a part of us that sometimes gets a little lost along the way.
Una parte del libro habla sobre aquellas personas que enfocan su vida en buscar la sanación espiritual, o alcanzar la iluminación a través de un modelo preestablecido, como podría ser la vida de otra persona que logró llegar al punto que desean. Chopra nos habla de que cada persona debe crear su propio camino, sin forzarse y aunque puedan inspirarse en la vida de otro, probablemente no sea ideal querer copiar el camino de ese modelo a seguir porque la iluminación se alcanza de maneras diferentes en cada persona, tenemos vivencias distintas, valores distintos e incluso momentos de la vida distintos.
One part of the book talks about those people who focus their lives on seeking spiritual healing, or reaching enlightenment through a pre-established model, as could be the life of another person who managed to reach the point they want. Chopra tells us that each person should create their own path, without forcing themselves and although they may be inspired by the life of another, it is probably not ideal to want to copy the path of that model to follow because enlightenment is reached in different ways in each person, we have different experiences, different values and even different moments of life.
Esto me recordó cuando por allá en el 2019, luego de una lesión deportiva, me sentí tan perdida que inicié una búsqueda insaciable de sanación externa. Médicos, curanderos, psicólogos, religión, retiros espirituales, libros de superación personal y absolutamente todo lo que prometiera una sanación espiritual. El camino fue muy difícil ya que nada lograba hacerme feliz, depositaba todas mis esperanzas en la promesa del momento y al no cumplirse lo esperado, me decepcionaba, me entristecía, empezaba a pensar que el problema era yo y que nada me ayudaría. Cuando la realidad era todo lo contrario, el problema sí se encontraba dentro de mi, pero la solución también.
This reminded me of when back in 2019, after a sports injury, I felt so lost that I began an insatiable search for external healing. Doctors, healers, psychologists, religion, spiritual retreats, self-improvement books and absolutely everything that promised spiritual healing. The road was very difficult because nothing could make me happy, I placed all my hopes in the promise of the moment and when the expected results were not fulfilled, I was disappointed, saddened, I began to think that the problem was me and that nothing would help me. When the reality was the opposite, the problem was inside me, but the solution was also inside me.
En esa época me sentía tan mal que intentaba descubrir algo que mágicamente me curaría y realmente me creí esto, por eso cada vez que encontraba algo nuevo en lo que creer, mis expectativas eran muy altas y al darme cuenta de que no era lo que buscaba, la caída era más fuerte. No recuerdo en qué punto me cansé de buscar hacia afuera y empecé a buscar hacia adentro. Conocí el yoga, práctica que adopté debido a que no podía realizar actividades de alto impacto debido a la lesión deportiva y me apunté a una serie de clases online llamadas "volver a la esencia", dictadas por una yogui ecuatoriana cuya energía sanadora y positiva era capaz de traspasar la pantalla. En esas sesiones de yoga meditación aprendí a calmar el ruido en mi cabeza, a escuchar lo verdaderamente necesario, mi respiración y mi intuición. Gracias al yoga volví a sentir que no estamos en este plano para controlarlo todo, no somos el capitán del barco, solo debemos disfrutar del viaje, todo fluye y tu fluyes con ello.
At that time I was feeling so bad that I was trying to discover something that would magically cure me and I really believed this, so every time I found something new to believe in, my expectations were very high and when I realized that it was not what I was looking for, the fall was stronger. I don't remember at what point I got tired of looking outward and started looking inward. I got to know yoga, a practice I adopted because I couldn't do high impact activities due to the sports injury and I signed up for a series of online classes called “back to the essence”, taught by an Ecuadorian yogi whose healing and positive energy was able to go beyond the screen. In those yoga meditation sessions I learned to calm the noise in my head, to listen to what was really necessary, my breathing and my intuition. Thanks to yoga I felt again that we are not on this plane to control everything, we are not the captain of the ship, we just have to enjoy the journey, everything flows and you flow with it.
Ya han pasado varios años desde esta época, una época que se extendió varios años, mientras aprendía a florecer en medio del dolor porque incluso el dolor es hermoso, te ayuda a comprender cosas que no puedes ver cuando todo está bien. Me parece hermoso el hecho de aprender a amarnos, aprender que vinimos a este mundo a ser felices y que la energía que irradias es proporcional a lo que atraes. Piensa positivo, actúa positivo, ámate mucho y encontrarás la magia, esa magia que muchos buscan en el exterior porque no se han dado cuenta de que todos somos magia.
It has been several years since this time, a time that extended several years, as I learned to flourish in the midst of pain because even pain is beautiful, it helps you understand things that you can't see when everything is fine. I find it beautiful to learn to love ourselves, to learn that we came to this world to be happy and that the energy you radiate is proportional to what you attract. Think positive, act positive, love yourself a lot and you will find magic, that magic that many look for on the outside because they have not realized that we are all magic.
