Metamorphosis entails the ugly and the beautiful.
A spiritual awakening isn't all love and light.
In transformation, we imagine ourselves as lost sad souls who exist in a cloud of confusion.
If we could write the script, we would quickly shift into finding our true selves, happy, and with access to unlimited divine direction.
We would also pen in a handful of like-minded friends, plenty of resources, and a positive attitude.
After all, we have walked this timeline long enough without the time, space, and energy to lean into truth, walk away from worry, and be grateful for how far we have come.
We see people who have been "saved," found their own way, or shifted in such a way that they are now the priority, and they seem to glow with peace and joy, at least on the outside.
Perhaps, we seek the opposite of what we were, had, or longed for in hopes that our aura will shift as well.
Not many allude to what had to unwind to reach the core of their being and why or purpose that were created to be.
The "ugly" of a spiritual awakening is often brushed under the rug.
Team Swan once explained it this way. "Most people think being spiritual means being positive, but being spiritual actually means being conscious and aware.
To become conscious is much different than becoming positive. To become conscious and aware, we must become authentic. Authenticity includes both positive and negative."
Spirituality is truth that honors what we love and what we don't, where we go and those places we stay away from, who we share energy with and when we choose protect ourselves.
It empowers honesty which allows us to cease the shape-shifting and be truthful about our feelings regarding this existence.
It challenges our beliefs, conditioning, and earthly limits.
It ignites divine partnership and trust and teaches us to humbly accept unconditional love and grace.
The reality is that a spiritual awakening can be lonely, raw, and ugly, but only for our highest and best good as we emerge with purpose, lessons, and the most beautiful wings.
