With Gratitude
The awakening journey is filled with big emotions, tumultuous and intense time periods, a sense of scrambling through the dark with no light in sight, strange and uncomfortable physical sensations, and the list goes on and on.
But the good news is that this journey is not meant to be taken on your own. There will always be help when you need it most, there will be signs that will nudge you along your way, and your angles/guides/beings, whether you can connect with them throughout the process or not, they will be there supporting and loving you the entire way.
Help will come when you need it most.
The darkest depths of my journey would not have been possible without the love, support and guidance from key mentors along the way.
This writing is to thank and honor them.
To Connie Clancy, thank you for being the original supportive foundation when I first embarked on my awakening path as well as the one constant support throughout all these years. I had no clue what was happening at the time or what was in store and I know without a doubt in my mind that we were a universal connection and I was supposed to find you. I remember being in the depths of suffering not knowing what to do or where to turn as I was utterly unraveling at the seams and I picked your name from a list of therapists. I picked you and you picked me. Thank you for helping me see that I needed to grow, I needed to change and for being the constant support that you have always been. You were always the person I wanted to speak to most during the most tumultuous stages. Connie you are a true beacon of light on this earth, thank you!
To Jayne Gottlieb, thank you for being the sparkling and amazing being that you are and for helping me through the physical aspects of the awakening journey through yoga. There were parts of my journey where yoga was incredibly important in order to physically move and release so much of what I had been holding on to, especially in what I call my ‘emotional flood gate releasing winter.’ Jayne you were always there as a mentor and loving support. You give so much to our community and are truly a part of the global awakening, giving resources and help for those that need it. Thank you for being the shakti goddess that you are.
To Maria, you were the beacon of light and the massive support I needed during my Dark Night of the Soul. You were also another universal alignment during a time when I really needed some extra support. I don’t know if I would have made it through my Dark Night of the Soul without your guidance and might have reverted back out of it only to have to repeat it again without your help. I was so lost, so disconnected from source, and so overwhelmed. You helped me shift and start to build the stepping stones towards the new me on the other side of the Dark Night. Your website was also the only true source that really understood and outlined everything I was going through. I read, and read, and read everything. You are a true gift to this world Maria and I am absolutely honored to know you.
And last but not least, to my husband, Kevin. To my soulmate, to the love of my life, to my best friend, to my partner through it all. This journey absolutely would not have happened without your constant, and I mean constant, support. You were there through it all. You were there holding my hand, you were there when I was in the dark, you were there when I was falling apart, you were there when I was an absolute and utter mess. And you weren’t just there as a physical presence, you were there with your whole being and soul. Your love, your listening ear, your non-judgement, it was always there loving me unconditionally no matter what. You are the number one reason why I made it through the Dark Nights of the Soul, you are the number one reason that I made it through my kundalini awakening, you are the number one reason I stand here today, ready to help others walk this path. Because at the end of the day it is not me who is helping, it is us. Because you were always there by my side, always. Your love is boundless. And my love for you is boundless. I know it has not been easy but I see you—the real you. And your true heart impresses me every day. Thank you, Kev. I love you always.
With boundless love and gratitude to you all.
