Being that I am currently editing my thesis, A Return to Mysticism: Healing Religious Hurt and Trauma through Mysticism, I thought this would be a good time to finally start sharing elements of what I have been writing about for months!
Your mystic relationship with the Divine is as unique as you are — and that relationship is one-on-one. Your passions, talents, loves, and desires are how the Divine expresses Itself through you. Through that expression, your brothers and sisters in the world benefit.
Begin to acknowledge that the Divine is always in and around you — It is You! It is Everything! Every breath you take, from birth to death, you are directly connected to the Divine. You are never alone or without loving Divine support.
Here are some questions for you to ponder on how the Divine shows up in your life, right now, today:
- What are your gifts, talents, loves, and passions? How do you feel when you are doing them?
- How do you share these qualities with the world?
- When do you feel most aware of Divine Presence?
- What practices or activities help you feel connected to Spirit?
- Are there places of longing, confusion, or transition that seem to be calling for attention right now? If so, the Divine may be inviting you to transform or shift in some way.
These are personal questions to reflect on in your own time. Developing a spiritual journaling habit is a beautiful and beneficial practice. We grow in layers and spirals with Spirit, so how you answer or reflect each day will be unique.
I invite you to share any activities or rituals that help you feel connected to the Divine or to Nature.By sharing, we learn from one another. 💜
