A few years ago, I had looked up at the night sky and asked the Universe to show me "A Way, Any Way, because life could not possibly be all there is now".
At this point in my life, I was freshly recovered from years of eating disorders, had gotten into yoga and meditation, had a wild moment that felt like a kundalini awakening and had a secret life of astral travelling.
I broke the mirror saying I LOVE YOU to my reflection, over and over again until my voice turned from a pained plea to a whisper.
I knew women need to know how much of our relationship with our bodies is a reflection of our relationship with everything and everyone.
I was ready for something then, I did not know what.
The Universe answered promptly by sending me an invitation to participate in a Tea Ceremony as a media representative to cover the event of the opening of an urban sanctuary in the concrete city of Hong Kong, and Tea Ceremony was one of the offerings.
I had stepped into the unknown without expecting anything, and what came forth was a thousand fold of ancestral connection, soul remembrance and purpose.
Lifting the bowl of Tea up I had heard Tea Spirit speak to me for the very first time, and yet had felt like I had heard Her voice for many times before:
"You have to serve Tea. Drop everything you know... and go serve Tea."
Flash forward to this moment as I lie here watching the skies outside my window in Edinburgh, my heart is in overflow for this version of me who had known nothing and also everything － the daring in going forth into the unknown, the instinctual desire to connect so deeply with something that had been so profound at first.
There was a Home waiting for me to return, and that Home had never doubted that I would find my Way back.
I am in awe of the way the Universe, the Great Dao, the Divine, Source, God, Unified Field, Cosmos... works.
In my devotion to live out this human experience as a cosmic being, I am complete.
And so are you. Wherever you are...
What are you holding yourself back from receiving?
Where are you afraid of going but your soul deeply knows is yours and has always been your Home?
In love, in reverence for your cosmic magnificence. 🐉🍃
