Gentle Reminder

 "Gentle Reminder... You're not supposed to have it all figured out. The beauty of life is watching yourself grow into someone you never imagined you'd become.

a sign that you have worked hard and reached a crucial part in your process, but there is still more to go.

I remain optimistic. I trust the process. I continue to connect with myself and others. I am taking proactive steps towards my goals.

This week has been one of rapid unexpected blessings and overabundance of gratitude.

The synchronicities continue in abundance! They bring me comfort and happiness and encourage me to continue pursuing my path. 

I was unexpectedly accepted to a program - Vital: Integrative Psychedelic Studies, by Psychedelics Today and it has been an incredible blessing! 

I was looking for a way forward, for connection, for knowledge, for structure within the psychedelic and alternative transformative healing space, but had felt like I was just spinning my wheels reaching out to every psychedelic related group I could find. Then the email came to apply by TOMORROW! So I did. I filled out the form, and submitted my personal statement thinking "they're probably not even looking at applications at this point" considering the cohort was already basically underway. 

I received a call directly from one of the co-founders of PT and the conversation was so wonderful. We went over my current space and what my intentions were for moving forward and I was able to be included and accepted into the program! 

Vital is literally everything that I had been desiring. A beginning, an opportunity to expand my knowledge, continue learning about psychedelics and natural medicines, along with so many other options and methods of healing. Vital provides a safe space to grow and connect with like-minded others who are also on paths of emerging or continued self-discovery. 

My heart has been so full this week and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the doors I'm allowing the Universe to open for me. 

This morning I joined the programs first study group that I will be participating in each Friday with a smaller gathering of others from the program - it was incredible to hear some of their stories. 

It was encouraging and comforting and I heard and felt so much of myself in each of the stories I heard. Though many or mostly all over the stories were rooted in trauma and confusion, suffering and struggle, their presence to share was so empowering and uplifting, and very emotional. 

I am just beginning this journey and I have so much to learn, but I feel like this group of people were meant to be presented to me and are being placed into my life to help me grow within my own space. 

The urge and pull from within to DO something, to act, to push forward, to prevail and succeed is almost overwhelming. It's anxiety (the familiar chest pounding, heart beating, thoughts racing) but it's positive in some way, its the anticipation and excitement that I already know I will achieve what is waiting for me. It's within me, a new fire raging. It's the essence of my being shouting I AM HERE.
