Are you experiencing a spiritual Awakening?

Are you Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening? Hear me out...

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence Blog with Shayla! It's a sunny October afternoon here in New York City. Today, I want to share my perspective and guide you through the transformative process of spiritual awakening.

According to a close friend of mine, a spiritual awakening is waking from society's norms by becoming more conscious and aware. Other definitions include a call to awaken to higher consciousness and an opening of our mental processes. Some may say it's when our third eye, the space between our eyebrows, opens to higher consciousness. Scientifically, the pineal gland, aka The 3rd eye, in the brain's center, plays a part in the awakening. In other cultural-spiritual practices, we are opening the 3rd eye in awakenings. Terms to describe an awakening include enlightenment, bliss, higher consciousness, and woke, to name a few.

After much reflection and listening to folks describe spiritual awakening, here's my intake. Before doing so, I would like to share my story of one of my awakenings. Spirituality has always lived in my bones since childhood. My mother allowed me to experiment with spirituality, never imposing any on me. As I grew, I involved myself with different spiritual communities, including a special place called VineyardOneNYC—a diverse group of spiritual friends in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In retrospect, I am grateful for the love this group held for each other. An inspiration I keep with me.

But the most significant spiritual awakening I've had thus far was one of the most challenging. 2017 was the most brutal year. One year, that broke my heart into many pieces. Nataly and Enid from the Bronx both crossed over that year. Mother and daughter, niece and sister, both gone that year. My sister passed from terminal cancer, and my niece crossed over from a drug overdose. At the time, I was working long hours at a hospital, trying to pay visits to my ill sister. I remember her sweet face every time I visited, as if we re-met each other every time. So much love! My family members passing; this very moment awakened me in so many ways unimaginable. It wasn't the prettiest awakening. There was grief and pain involved, a rollercoaster. But I came out of the other side awakened asf. Today marks six years since my sister and niece transitioned to the spirit world. So my heart fills up just by sharing this with you.

But what really is it…

A spiritual awakening is like waking up to our shadow, authentic self and learning to navigate it. Then, as time passes, so does clarity about who we truly are.

The process isn’t linear and may feel more like being on a roller coaster. We go through an up-and-down motion to awaken to the true essence.

Connection to the inner world is the container that holds our spirituality. It's important to remember everyone is different. Therefore, our paths are unique.

Someone's spiritual awakening may look different than others. Leave comparison of whose more woke to the curb. Spiritual awakenings are not the id, ego, or superego.

There's no need to rush to get more spiritual or start a spiritual practice. Allow the winds of spirit to carry you in that direction. Take small steps before taking the BIG leap. Be patient!

I've noticed once people's awareness awakens, they immediately want to run to figure out what spiritual group they belong to. It's okay to explore different spiritual practices and not know which one is best. Research and ask for guidance.

It's best to take your time to figure the self out first before anything else. Practicing patience makes it perfect. Attempt to reduce anxiety about what is next in the spiritual journey.

Lastly, spirituality lives within our hearts, and connecting to it uniquely makes our spiritual awakening fascinating. It may not all look colorful like a rainbow, but parts are beautiful as the warm, Fall sun glistening into my room window this evening.

May the guidance provide you with light. The information above is for educational purposes only. If there are any questions or you would like to book an Astrology reading, Tarot reading or healing session, please book and/or contact me. I am more than happy to guide you.

The Journey to Truth With Black Kyanite

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog The Journey to Truth With Black Kyanite.

On a summer morning, I find myself intuitively being guided to a farmers market. At the entrance of the market a table of stones calls me over. It was a lonely table covered with some of the most beautiful rocks I’ve seen in a while. A man with short dark hair approaches to assist me. But it wasn’t necessary because my eyes had landed on a Black Kyanite pendent. With its flaky edges and dark/grey tones I wasn’t sure if it’ll be too delicate to wear. The man assured me it would be fine. If it falls there a possibility of breaking but otherwise it should be fine. “It’s a powerful stone,” says the man. I don’t think much about it until my journey with it…

What is Black Kyanite?

Black Kyanite is an aluminum silicate mineral with a hardness quality. Black Kyanite is associated with the third eye and heart chakra. Some of the metaphysical properties associated with the stone is it works as an inner bridge, psychic abilities, earth connection, past life, and empathy. Other kinds of kyanite includes: blue, indigo, and even orange.The orange kyanite is believed to unblock the 2nd chakra (sacral) and bring in creativity. Green kyanite is believed to bring in a deeper connection with earth. Indigo Kyanite is believed to aid in astral travel.

The Changing Power

My experience with Black Kyanite was unprecendented. Immediately upon wearing the pendant I a felt grounded. Its protective energy encapsulate my very being. Throughout the weeks as I wore the Kyanite many realizations unfolded before my eyes. There were areas in my life- at that moment- I needed to come face to face with. Black Kyanite helped open the doorway to exploring my inner truth, humility and self preservation with sprinkles of love. I faced challenging traumas , and revelations of my parents traumas. Ultimately leading me to path of realization where my truth could be a vessel for love. Where I can come to terms with unraveling from issues that have been placed on me as a responsibility. That I no longer needed to take on but rather that I can release. The journey with Kyanite was one of inner growth. I couldn’t be more apperciative like I am today.

Oh baby! Dreams

Even my dreams were so different. I experienced vivid dreams that became symbols to resolve the truths that I walked upon in my waking life. These symbols were not all pretty in pink. Somewhere were more explicitly pointing to polish myself up and learn sovereignty. What’s inside of us is a reflection of our outer world.

Dreams can be aids to help us resolve issues in our world of course if we choose to do so. Only we have the capacity to decide the readiness to change. When we are ready then the change happens. Sometimes there are times we are not, that’s okay.

Could Kyanite be Moldavite’s Sister?

From experience with both the power of Black Kyanite and moldavite, yes both can be sisters. I feel the pair could assist in healing, trauma healing, inner growth and transformation. In addition, adding a third stone like clear quartz (a master healer) could help to add a splash of clarity in our healing and inner growth.

Reflection

• What is my truth? How am I nuturing those parts of myself?

• What healing have I seen? What part of myself makes me proud?

Affirmation

“I allow my heart to open to healing. I am greatness. I am whole.”
