And this brought in Ego Death #2. That Reiki class absolutely changed my life. My mind had been opened to a world I dreamt of but nev as wrong. I could heal myself? I was not inherently evil? I finally felt like I had come home to myself and I was obsessed. Over the next few months I absolutely lost myself in all of the areas the spiritual world had to offer. Crystals, tarot, intuitive development, spirit guides, you name it I wanted to learn everything about it.

For a couple of years, I kept my spiritual practices a secret to everyone except my husband and the friend who taught the Reiki class. My friend, Monique, became my coach, and together she helped me develop my own intuition. I learned how to listen to my body, how to hear Spirit and myself for the first time. I loved it. I had never felt so connected to God or myself before.

Eventually I started doing reading for others. I knew I wanted to help others find their voices and connect to spirit and their spiritual journey too. But in order to grow and live authentically, I wanted to tell my mom before I began posting about my journey…and that was a really scary thought.

Ego Death #3. Being open about my spirituality to my family felt so uncomfortable. I had grown up knowing what they felt about psychics and ‘witches’ – I felt silly. I also knew the truth of what I had experienced and knew that over the hill of feeling uncomfortable was the freedom I wanted. If I could survive telling my family I was no longer a Christian, I knew I could survive this conversation.

Since being open about my spirituality and owning my beliefs, I’ve done readings for so many people. I’ve met some of the most amazing souls and had beautiful connections. I’ve learned new tools that help me live an authentic and exciting spiritual life. I’ve learned to embrace ego deaths with more ease (although, I don’t know if the uncomfortableness ever entirely goes away). If I had been too scared to jump into the first ego death, I wonder where my life would have led and all the beautiful experiences I would have missed out on.

So, my desire for you is if you are teetering at the cliff of an ego death, trust yourself and dive in. You get to create a life you believe in. You get to change your mind, over and over and over. You get to experience as many ego deaths as required so the authentic version of you gets to change the world. You get to come home to you again and again. You are worth it and the world is longing to see the real you. You are safe to be you.
