Today’s episode was inspired by a conversation i had with one of my clients over the weekend. A conversation came up with some relatives where the fact that she had “manifested” her house was disclosed and it made her feel very uneasy. She wanted my opinion as a mentor.
My advice is to keep things close to your chest when you start your spiritual journey. Not everyone will be supportive. Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will know. The world is full of people with strong opinions and not enough people who listen and honour other people’s experiences. I am not blaming anyone. We live in a society that has not taught us how to do this.
I was asked on the Caroline Martin Breakfast Show on BBC Radio on Saturday (at the 2h48min mark) what I would say to my detractors, and my answer was that I am not here to convince anyone. I really am not. In a way you could say that I am here to preach to the choir.
Your new found spirituality is like a seedling that needs nurturing in the right environment. If exposed to the elements, it might not be strong enough. Our spiritual journeys require us to be discerning and to ascertain who is “safe” and who is not. What I mean by safe is someone who will respect our experience. And if we are lucky, throw a light on it that will help us understand what the heck is going on. That requires experience. I want to be that person for you.
I have been on this journey for forty odd years and I feel that although my spiritual “tree” is not a 100 solid oak, it’s pretty strong and has healthy roots that keep me grounded whilst my branches reach further to the sky. The more upward you go, the deeper your roots must be, so my advice is also to learn to ground yourself.
It’s also important to keep ourselves safe and avoid cults. I want to refer you back to EP 02 on how to cult proof your journey. As we depart from traditional religions, we are at risk of behind roped in by people who don’t have our best interests at heart. Click here to listen to the episode about cult proofing your journey.
Your best protection is to have a strong intuition and for the launch of my memoir Spiritual Lawyer on Kindle, I would like offer my trust your intuition course for half price until the end of April (2025). Click here to find out more.
