Call of the Spirits


Just to keep you posted on what's happening on my side of the planet.
The past weeks, like many of you, I've been feeling that something big is about to happen, about to change. But instead of an external event happening to the world, something big happened within me.
I arrived in Cebu (an island in the center of Ma-I) a year ago to study film making. A city girl who lived in the urban area most of her life, it was a breather to walk around nature and be able to experience living simply. Going to school and seeing the cows and goats grazing in the morning field is priceless! And because I was away from family and friends (whose tendency is to box and label us), it was easier for me to transform from a denser personality -self destructive, addiction, insecurity, fear - to a lighter one -now, hope, flow, love.
So many beautiful things happened in Cebu- I met my boyfriend, I discovered yoga, I learned meditation, I become vegetarian, I quit smoking, I stopped being an alcoholic, I found Pi (my teacher whom I've been looking for five years), I learned the dance, I discovered I am a lightworker, I started writing again, I met wonderful people, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a film maker.... This place has given me so much, and I thank the spirits for being such a gracious host to me.
Now another island is calling for me, I've been refusing this call for so long. But now that I have surrendered to it, I'm finding everything a breeze. I've been clinging to attachments that no longer served my spirit, but now I have to let go and it has set me free.
This weekend, I am moving to Palawan. I have decided to be with people who's walking the same journey as me. I only packed two suitcases, I know that I should travel light as I don't know where the spirits will take me next. I gave most of my stuff away and boxed the rest, I want to be free of the material stuff that I have accumulated over the years.
I am letting go of the attachment to the boyfriend, too. We decided to take a little break from each other to see how it is if we walk the other way. He wants to thread the material path, I've been there and knows it's not where I want to go. I bless him in every step of his journey, I know, like me, he also wants to change the world. Who knows our path might merge in the bend, I leave it up to the Universe.
I can't wait to be part of the community Pi and the inner dancers started to show the world that it is possible to live in harmony with nature. They have created various enterprise that empowers people and sustains the community. When I get there, I know I will find my niche. In the meanwhile, I'm grateful that my job is online as it made the move a lot easier. I thought I would have to let go of the job too, which will be sad because the people I work with inspire me. I'm glad I get to bring them with me in the island.
I know that this one is not an easy journey as I have to go through major healing and cleansing. Letting go of the material stuff was easy, but there are stuck emotional blocks somewhere that has to be worked on. I'm just blessed to be gifted by having my cosmic family around to help me in this process, and my wise and patient higher self that always guides me to the right way.
To be honest with you, I really don't know what's in store for me there. This is me jumping into the unknown. I just know that my spirit is seeking to be closer to the spirit of the Mother now. And for a change I am gonna follow my spirit. I am going to set aside the ego, and let my spirit take the driver's wheel. This is what's happening to me now. I am letting go of the control and I am the child in the passenger seat again watching life pass by with glee.
And it feels like coming home.
