The last few weeks of my life have proved to be very transformational for me…a re-awakening of sorts of coming back home to my faith based religion of Islam ☪️ 

After years of taking the time to do the inner work and continuously work on healing/clearing ancestral wounds and traumas, my heart began to open more and more light over time.

And at first, it felt very uncomfortable. The thoughts, fears and hesitations were coming up like would I be judged? What would my friends and family think of me after being away and doing my own inner work with my spiritual journey? How do I integrate these newfound feelings and understandings I am going through in the right way? Would God accept me after being away for so long? So many thoughts began coming to the surface.

And then I kept circling back to one thing. I do not have to prove myself to anyone. I do not have to be fearful of anyone but God Himself. And that if I was coming back to my religion it’s because I was finally feeling safe to open my heart back up to it and that is actually quite the beautiful thing💓

Before I could even understand what was going on for myself, I found myself surrendering in prayer and feeling the lightness.

I found myself asking God “how can I be more of service to YOU?” Instead of shamelessly always asking for more

I found myself feeling the same deep feelings of being connected to the Divine that I would experience during deep meditations✨ so transcendent and powerful

And I found that I was no longer judging myself. At the end of the day, I am bridging my worlds of being highly spiritual + sensitive with having a sacred container of this beautiful religion that provides comfort to me.  Finally bringing me so much inner peace and mindfulness throughout my day✨

And this is just the start of this new journey…but it’s a start and I’m here. I am finally feeling grounded in my faith and there is no better feeling than that🤲🏼✨
