What I learned this week as a Spiritual Coach for the week of July 21, 2023
I want to share an honest glimpse into my week of learning and introspection with you. As this Friday winds down, I feel compelled to explore the lessons I've picked up, not just on a spiritual level but also as a fellow human on this life journey alongside you. We're all connected, and my lessons may just resonate with yours. I created a video ( https://youtu.be/2h-BVPJnDJc) as well, so you can watch here or continue reading.
Today, I decided to consult the Universe and see what it had to say about my learnings this week. I reached for my trusty "Isis Oracle" deck, feeling a strong pull towards it as a priestess of Lady Isis. I wanted to know her perspective on my progress and how it might relate to you.
The card spoke volumes. Throughout the week, I dove deep into the complex realm of human interactions and relationships. I used to see myself merely as a student of these connections, learning both consciously and unconsciously (mostly unconsciously) about my behaviors. And guess what? I realized that some of my actions were trauma responses, not fixed personality traits, aimed at protecting myself.
Facing the fact that my actions might unintentionally hurt others was tough to swallow. Growing up in an environment where fiery confrontation was the norm, changing this pattern wasn't easy. My husband, who's a master at choosing his words wisely, lovingly challenged my habit of being too straightforward and honest.
On my healing and self-discovery journey, I've learned the value of open communication without judgment. Instead of pointing fingers at others, I strive to express how their actions impact me emotionally. Just like my patient husband waited for me to change certain behaviors (which took forever), I've come to realize I must also show grace and patience with others.
Embracing the journey, rather than just focusing on the destination, or changed behaviors, has been vital. Lady Isis's story of sacrifice and freedom for her husband struck a chord with my experiences this week. The power of divine feminine energy, holding space, and supporting someone through their growth is real. It's something I had to do this week, gently holding space for behaviors that would have made me run away in the past or cut off certain relationships altogether.
I'm truly grateful for Lady Isis's guidance and the Universe's patient support. While it's not always smooth sailing, I'm committed to embracing change and nurturing a more compassionate and patient energy.
As I share this personal reflection, I hope it resonates with your own experiences and inspires you to find understanding and growth in your relationships. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback with me. Let's keep this journey of spiritual growth and self-discovery going together.
Love you,
Alex
