Light versus dark on the awakening journey
Along the journey to awakening, it sometimes seems as if the light seems more mystical than the shadow.
The light draws you in, helping you feel that more is possible for your life, and kickstarts the inspiration of your purpose. The light sparks curiosity, inspiration, awe, and synchronicity. You start to see how the universe guides you with spiritual breadcrumbs that will illuminate your path.
The light often wakes you up from a dark place when you could have been wondering why the hell you are here. You might have hit a dead end or a dark place of addiction, financial hardship, depression, or other emotionally difficult scenarios.
The light keeps us from giving up. It gives us guidance, messages, synchronicities, hope, and direction — even if we don’t know yet, what that direction is.
The light keeps us moving forward into the unknown. It shows up at just the right moments.
I’ve been through so many hard things in my life, including addiction, devastating depression, and multiple heartbreaks, as well as family dynamics, betrayal, and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. I have even come close to bankruptcy a few times. Each of these situations has taught me much about who I am, who I am becoming, and what I have to offer the world. Likewise, all of the mystical, angelic, synchronistic, and mind-blowingly beautiful and connected experiences in my life, have done the same, if not more.
There are many ways in which to have a spiritual awakening. But please do not overlook the divine intervention of the shadow! The darkness of our lives has just as much power as the light. Darkness may hurt, or feel isolating and constricting, whereas light feels inspiring and expansive. However, that pain is what fuels our personal change, growth, and evolution.

While you are exploring the darkness and the shadows of your life experience, don’t forget to allow the light to guide you as well. Use the light and energy of the sun; use the stars; use the angelic realm; use nature; use your dreams; use crystals to help you keep your spirit high while you delve into the darkness. Let Mother Earth ground you, hold you, and give you the energy of neutrality and unconditional L🌎VE. This will be a play, a weaving, and a balance working its way through you from light to dark and back again.
Both the light and the dark are required to expand in a balanced and harmonious way.
Are you able to handle both energies?
Are you able to receive the most amazing abundance you can ever imagine?
Are you able to at look at your hardship and heartbreak as a gift for growth?
Let’s go deep and expand your emotional capacity for holding it all! That’s where your unique magic is hiding!
