What if we don’t need to ascend, become enlightened, or “get to heaven”? What if the invitation for humans on planet Earth is to arrive here fully?
My Early Journey: Not Broken, Just Disembodied
I spent most of my teenage years and 20s trying to escape my experience of being human. I would have never described it that way. I would have said I was going through a spiritual awakening. I even harbored a secret goal of ascension. [cringe]
I have spent many years now working with my young 20-year-old self in a healing capacity. Surrounding her in love, compassion, and understanding. Letting her know that it’s okay to be where she is. It’s okay to stop. It’s okay to love herself as she is.
Because I know what lurked at the root of her desire to “ascend.”
Running away was the only strategy I knew in order to escape my pain and unresolved trauma and feel better.
And because I was so untethered to life, I floated easily into the spiritual realms. My younger self had a great proclivity for the subtle and psychic senses. The spiritual plane felt easier and more beautiful than my chaotic life. My experiences with the spiritual realm provided a form of nourishment I did not receive when I was little or know how to access in the physical world.
So I want to honor the gift of these early experiences and journeys of the Spirit. I am grateful for the totality of my journey. How can I not be? It all led me here.
The Soul’s Journey of Embodiment
Everything in life needs balance. Being human is as much about the physical mundane world as it is about the invisible world of Spirit and soul magick. It’s both. Denying either creates imbalance.
Whether you relate to my early experience or you fall at the opposite end of the spectrum—where you keep a safe and respectable distance from the world of Spirit—both polarities are in need of soul-body alignment.
In honor of the Soul’s Journey of Embodiment, I am so happy to share with you this inspiring conversation I had with Ruth Toledo Altschuler, an extraordinary fellow flower essence practitioner with decades of experience working with the essences to support deep healing and Soulful awareness.
Ruth and I share about our experiences of embodiment and introduce five beautiful plants and their essences to bring presence, awareness, and aliveness to your life.
The Essences of the Earth—flowers, plants, stones, trees, other subtle forces—provide an incredible medicine to restore balance and support the soul in its healing.
The highlighted plants—Wild Azalea, Borage, Queen Anne’s Lace, St. John’s Wort, and Lotus—are incredible allies for this process.
When You Watch the Video
I invite you to be somewhere you can truly relax and allow the gorgeous images of the plants Ruth curated to bless you with their color, geometry, and presence. I found myself being brought into their wisdom and feeling the medicine of their spirit during our whole conversation.
These essences can be extremely helpful for sensitive souls who find difficulty in being here fully.
They also can be a support for those who are disconnected from their soul because their focus is too fixated on the material.
Have a watch and see which plants you resonate with. Which ones can you feel? Which one intrigues or captivates you with its form and color?
These times are inviting us into greater alignment and deeper anchoring of our souls into our bodies so we may be rooted and connected to our true nature. From that place of aligned and rooted awareness, may we shine and bless the world around us.
May these plants bless you in your journey of soul aligned awareness,
