Tap Into “The Source” – Your Personal Guiding Light and Stream of Power

“There was a time when my world had crumbled, all I felt was darkness and I couldn’t find my way back to me.”

If you have the tendency to lean into being pragmatic, or you’re one of those more materialistic people like I used to be, all the “spirituality” stuff sound like non-sense, or like the perfect form of escapism for the people that can’t deal with life. “If you can’t touch it, nor see it, it’s not there.” Are you familiar with this belief? Are you one of its followers? Or did you used to be? I know I once was, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. That mindset probably saved my life a time or two, or at least my ego’s life. It was there and it served me well, until it didn’t. Until my soul finally needed to escape the cage I was holding her inside. Suddenly, there was no more room to breathe. I had detached so much that I felt literally nothing. I was so numb. This was because the way I decided “to handle” pain was by absolutely rejecting my inside world that crashed because of it. It eventually shut down completely.

“I walked through life feeling a profound emptiness, like a vital piece of myself was missing.”

I walked through life feeling a profound emptiness, like a vital piece of myself was missing. I’d said “Goodbye!” to my soul’s inner desires, thinking it was a “Goodbye” to pain. I’d turned my back on meaning and purpose because I’d lost hope. I’d started to believe that staying away from attachments and emotions would keep me “safe.” So, of course, on the other hand, I said: “Welcome, materialistic pleasure! Welcome, desire for endless success and money that would eventually buy me happiness!” I’d incorporated the “you can’t touch me now” mindset, fooling myself that if I could buy anything, then I wouldn’t actually need anyone. The personal connections and relationships wouldn’t matter so much because I could purchase myself some “joy and excitement” in the form of a vacation, expensive concert tickets, cool new clothes, etc. Oh, how was I mistaken…

You can only bottle up for so long. Until love silently and very tenderly sneaks in..

When you’ve suffered and shut down, when you couldn’t handle the pain and no matter how much you wanted to make things right, people left, then you start to let the heart stiffen. Little by little, with each person that you end a connection with, and who leaves you confused, hurt, and empty, that you decide to let go a little bit of your humanity with them. Because you cannot suffer anymore. It’s just too damn much. So the only way is to refuse the feeling, stay away from the pain. The thing is you don’t realize that detaching from the pain, means detaching from the love as well. You cannot shut your heart down only for “negative” emotions. You either shut it down completely, or you keep on suffering. (There’s a lot of mindset involved in the perception of all things happening to you, I’m aware now, but speaking from the perspective of the non-spiritual completely detached person, that’s all there is – suffering and unfairness). 

“A persistent whisper from within, too soft to ignore, urged me to look inward.”

However, there comes a time when even your numbness starts to crack. Sometimes it’s because love finds its way back to you. There are people that shine through your life like a lighthouse. You cannot close your eyes hard enough to miss them. Your whole being feels like it’s been woken up. There are people so tender and pure that you cannot pass them and keep on playing your “non-attachment” play. That’s when love comes. Unexpectedly. It very strongly shakes you up. You cannot resist it. Your heart starts to open up. You see the light. (Not the one at the end of the tunnel, you’re not dying just yet. Your Ego might be, though, with all of its protective mechanisms and fight-or-flight responses.)

There’s a particular, striking sensation once you start to feel joy again, when everything seems a little less scary and a little lighter. The world feels a little brighter. Sometimes these people serve as an inspiration, sometimes as a lesson. Whatever it is, it leaves you with so many questions about your reality and your approach to life that you simply cannot stay the same.

You see the light that hope brings

Gradually, a hope sneaks in that this life might not be that bad after all. These enormous emotions “attack” you, or at least you feel attacked, and you can’t stop feeling this way. You want to see that person. You want to make their day better. You want to be there and be better for them – and for yourself. Because it always starts from within; no one can give from an empty cup. This realization finally strikes you. You start valuing your own needs and tenderly caring for your inner world in order to be the best partner, friend, daughter, or son you can be.

You’re feeling on cloud nine, and everything else feels a little lighter. Your pain is a little less heavy. Your personal restraints even start to break down a little bit. Real connection and true love can truly shake up someone’s world. Those emotions and state of mind can create the basis of a major change in someone’s perception and approach to life. It can be groundbreaking in both meanings: it can split the Earth open and devour everything you once thought was true, leaving you empty and confused to rebuild yourself from scratch; and it can give birth to a change so major that one can completely turn their life around and reap the rewards.

Become aware of your limitations to grow into your truest power

Very fast, you start to notice that the previous, detached and very unhealthy version of you wouldn’t suffice. That version of you cannot easily connect, because it’s scared of the pain that once shut her down. Paradoxically, you desire love and connection just as much as you desire staying “safe in your comfort”. You couldn’t sustain the relationship, if you’re not willing to let go of your biases and misinterpretations of the world as an only “heavy place”. Slowly, there comes the realization that without the tough times, you wouldn’t value happiness. The intensity of emotions – both in highs, and lows – is there to serve us as a scale. And each time we go at any of the ends of the spectrum, we appreciate the other end, because it gives us the perspective of the wholeness of it all. It’s the concept of duality. You realize it’s high time to let go of the beliefs that don’t serve your existence. So day by day, you choose otherwise – you start opening up. Connecting with your soul seems a little bit easier. You let her heal. Allowing yourself to feel the love again, without fear, nor limitations is what naturally follows. You allow yourself to freely feel and express – to fly in the highest emotions, and to stay grounded – in the lowest ones. You simply decide to live life at its fullest, with all its nuances, syncing in every little detail.

How is all of this possible? By tapping into “The Source” – connecting with your soul

What’s your first thought when you hear the word “source” in the grand scheme of things? For me it’s that unwavering core of who we truly are – our soul, our intuition, our innate wisdom. It’s the way we tune into the deepest part of our invisible self – the inner voice, and the spiritual connection with the Universe. It’s the soul’s alignment to the Divine. Our most inner world at its purest state. It’s our personal source of freedom, of meaning, of creativity and expression. The stream of unconditional love – for the self and for others. It’s all those intrinsic little pieces that make us who we are and help us align with the life path that will bring us pure joy and contentment. “The Source” is our soul’s deepest desires and purpose wrapped up in the most magical little details of our humanity, unique personality traits and distinctive energy. And it’s not something we acquire, it’s actually something we reconnect with, something that’s always been there, patiently waiting for us to reach it. To find our own way back to us. 

“If you’ve ever felt that subtle ache of disconnection, or longed for a deeper sense of purpose and peace, then this space is for you. I invite you to join me as we explore the profound depths of The Source together.”

The Promise of this Journey towards our inner source: Alignment

Life is an infinite exploration – both “out there” in the world and in the Universes inside each one of us. This path is all about cultivating a profound sense of inner peace, living with purpose, and feeling truly aligned with who you are. It’s not a promise you’ll feel better all the time, nor that discomfort won’t be a part of the journey, but it’s a promise that with an open mind and heart, you can let go of all limitations and nourish a gentle connection with your authentic self. Slowly and steadily build the life you desire the most without fear, nor any doubts, because finding alignment means we trust ourselves and the major power that everything happens for a reason and for our greater good. Tapping into “The Source” means life begins to feel less like a struggle and more like a gentle flow.

What’s to come? 

In the posts to come within “The Source” category, we’ll dive deeper into repeating events in life – the lessons learned and the vicious cycles. How to start your spirituality journey and find your practices that feel “right”. I’ll share some practical practices to cultivate inner peace and quiet the mind from my perspective and personal experience. We’ll dig deeper into intuition – when it’s her voice vs. when it’s the voice of fear. We’ll discover how to tune into the intuition and cultivate a safe space within, so it feels embraced and nourished. All the ways we can connect with the higher self and that it’s actually not some abstract “magical” thing. It’s very accessible. We’ll explore various paths to self-discovery and self-growth from the Soul’s point of view, as the Body and the Mind have their own categories. Of course, I’m aware that separating those might be tricky at times, as I profoundly believe in the interdependence and infinite connection between them.

Journal Prompts:

As we begin this journey together, take some time to think and answer these questions – maybe by journaling, or simply leading your mind in that direction, exploring your feelings when you dwell on them:

• When have you felt most disconnected or lost? What was the first subtle sign that nudged you towards seeking something deeper?
• What does “The Source” feel or look like to you? Describe your inner sanctuary.
• What is your intuition whispering to you right now? How might you follow that guidance?
