If you’re finding your way back to yourself after a season of exhaustion, illness, anxiety or grief, you’re right on time. Spiritual connection doesn’t disappear — it just waits quietly for you to include it again. You’ve probably consumed a lot of spiritual content. (Me, too.) Meditations, teachings, reels, books, podcasts, all of it. And for a while, it can feel like you’re doing everything right. Then real life shows up. Chronic illness. The flu that wipes you out for a week or more (like that new strain that took me out during the holiday season). Anxiety that often means you never get all the way to calm or peaceful. Depression that makes even lighting a candle feel like too much work. Or grief that makes your body feel like a heavy coat you can’t take off. And suddenly, a lot of spiritual advice sounds like it was written for someone on a mountaintop, not someone trying to make lunch while feeling dizzy, or answer an email while your nervous system is clamoring for attention. Here’s the truth that matters most when you feel like crap... You’re not alone. The magnificent being you are beginning to remember is still there and she’s still you. No One Tells You this PartMany lightworkers get discouraged because they think connection has to feel bright. Clear. High. Clean. But when life gets hard, connection often feels small. It can look like one slow breath. Or a hand on your heart. It might be writing one sentence in your journal about how you’re feeling. One moment where you ask for help in coming back to yourself. In the hard moments, breakthroughs need not apply. And you don’t need fireworks or excitement when your body is saying leave me alone. Any reconnection to yourself is all you need, even if it feels too small. Try this Simple Rhythm |
