A New Spirituality

I follow no guru.

I am one of many bridges between Heaven and Earth.

I trust my feelings, my intuition, and my inner guidance above all external ideas.

I question everything. I don’t take truth for granted; I experience it and prove it through my soul and senses.

I trust my curiosity and follow it. It usually leads me to the right places.

I find masters everywhere, in everyone. It’s up to me how much I can learn from the people around me.

My body is my temple. I treat it with the devotion it deserves.

I repress no desire, yet I prioritize those that lead me toward deeper and more sustainable fulfillment.

I practice spiritual psychology. I believe spirituality without emotional education is empty, and psychology without spirituality is incomplete.

I am absolutely nothing without Mother Nature. Gaia is my main goddess, not up there in my imagination, but right here, in the ground beneath my feet. It is my duty to respect and protect her.

I’m not trying to get enlightened by escaping Earth.

My healing comes from embracing with compassion every aspect of my humanity, including the so-called ego aspects.

I don’t demonize my ego. I treat it like a child: it needs understanding, attention, compassion, and, most importantly, boundaries.

I play with my identity as I feel.

I am not this name, this age, this body, or this personality. These are my toys to play the current game.

I know something is right for me when it brings joy, lightness, and pleasure.

I follow that.

When I feel deep resistance toward something or someone, I don’t immediately reject it. Instead, I inquire within to understand its source, to overcome it, and to learn its lesson.

I embrace pleasure — sensual, mental, and especially soul pleasure.

I know spirituality embraces everything and leaves nothing apart.

I try to live as Zorba the Buddha.

The most spiritual thing I can do is to untame my being.

My story, like that of many sisters, is one of liberation,

a woman freeing herself and healing from the deep wounds of patriarchy and transgenerational trauma.
