It leads you to connect to your true essence so you can start making choices from your highest self. The spiritual journey is extremely personal. I’m inspired by the teachers who share their struggles and transmute them in the name of love and healing, not the ones who claim to always be happy and positive, or who claim they have all the answers. While I honor and respect everyone’s journey, I now realize that I resonate with a vibe of authenticity, not one that only allows others to see the positive without ever discussing the dark side of life. I also constantly compared myself to them because I wasn’t blissful 24/7, as they seemed to be. When I followed a few well-known, self-proclaimed spiritual teachers, I put them on a pedestal and ignored my own inner guru. It’s easy to get enticed by gurus because they seem to have all the answers and to always be positive no matter what. As they say, Instagram posts are oftentimes just someone’s highlight reel. And from experience, I can tell you that before you get to the love and light part, there’s a lot to muddle through. We cannot possibly summarize the complexity and fluidity of our lives in one post or yoga pose. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: None of us has it all figured out. But, the problem is these posts don’t tell the whole story, and once we log off, many of us still feel incomplete, fearful, and insecure because all of these “influencers” and gurus seem to have it all figured out. Most of us equate these messages with spirituality and good vibes. If you frequent Instagram or any other social media platform these days, you may notice countless posts about positivity, self-help, yoga, and green juice. “The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation.” ~Joseph Campbell
