I still remember the first time I heard this terminology, spiritual emergence, and the release I felt knowing that what I had experienced on several occasions in my life was something that was thought about and understood by many. I wonder why we do not become more familiar with these experiences, including teaching our children from a young age so they can feel comfortable with whatever happens in their little world of magic.

I guess that education could help to prevent so many of the barriers that we, as humans, set up to avoid normalising our human rights, which are our connection with the Great Spirit. As I related back, I grew up in a beautiful village, where nature in its wilder form surrounds our senses, where the connection with the liminal space flows and emerges in many ways, but where understanding about those experiences was not so available for me as a child, what led me to the belief that I had to suppress those feelings and experiences to fit in. I still remember trying to make sense of what was happening and asking for knowledge of the East to put words to what was making me feel different from my childhood friends. I guess that, in a way, that in itself was a blessing because it took me to explore the path of shamanism and Eastern traditions as a platform to understand a “Self” that came with some imprints of the word beyond what we could see.

Since then, I have been embracing and studying spiritual emergencies and not-ordinary experiences in myself and others, weaving a better understanding of all that is as a way to be more genuine with our nature as human beings, as a way to unite with the potential of who we are.

As always, thank you to the reader, who, with their energy, bring to life these words.

Om Tat Sat!
