On October 10th, 2020, I released the first iteration of this site. It was called My Way AUM.
It contained similar versions of the first two posts on here, and a lengthier, video explanation of my Kundalini awakening.
It was a self-titled acronym for Authentically and Unapologetically Me. A state I’ve never truly embraced – until now.
Follow Your Bliss is a continuation and refinement of this process.
It wasn’t my intention to drop such a personal piece on friends and family, then disappear into relative online obscurity. However, like many, the pandemic presented some difficult challenges and took me away from writing for a while.
The larger truth, however, is the deeper I went on this extraordinary journey, the more fearful I became about sharing what was transpiring.
I struggled to accept that some - maybe many - friends and family simply may not be able to understand such an esoteric experience.
However, I’m finally at peace with that. I have to be.
It’s been torture keeping this entire part of my life – that keeps getting more expansive – a secret. I just can’t do it any longer.
I’ve been so worried about what others will think, that I’ve been dimming my own Light. In doing so, I’ve isolated myself from spiritual communities with like-minded people on the path.
As cliche as it sounds, I really need to find my tribe.
I’ve been through a lot of adversity and faced many fears, but sharing what’s unfolding here has been the biggest dragon to slay of them all.
The fear of judgement was paralyzing and resulted in years of procrastination and self-sabotage despite knowing that stepping fully into this experience would bring much greater health, peace and prosperity for myself and others.
Despite my procrastination posting, I have been doing a lot of inner work, and writing behind the scenes.
I believe this is a story people need to hear – especially in these difficult times. It’s one of hope and healing; of adversity and triumph; it’s about discovery, redemption and magic – real-life magic!
I’m documenting the evolution of a human soul, and I can’t put into words the gratitude I feel to be experiencing it.
They say the longest journey a person can take is from their head to their heart. For me, that means cultivating a deep sense of compassion, love and empathy with myself, so I may do the same with others.
Through the practices of meditation and mindfulness, I now try to allow intuition and inner wisdom to guide my actions and decisions, rather than relying solely on the intellect.
For the first time in my life, I know what I’m meant to do; trust the Guide within and give an honest account of this experience.
I hope that by doing so, it gives others the courage to follow their bliss. To step into their true nature; their most authentic and unapologetic selves.
