Spiritual Misalignment
I was feeling unwell physically, emotionally, and mentally. I could not pinpoint what was happening, and my spiritual council was being stern, forcing me to pause and note that I could no longer live and work the way I was. I was filled with nightmares, sleepless nights, and overwhelming anxiety.
I was in spiritual distress, and it was time to look at filling my inner well. I found myself saying yes to a spiritual sabbatical - committed to Devotion in Motion, a 30-day cosmic priestess bliss challenge where I prioritized myself.
Let’s discuss today’s theme: Spiritual Misalignment.
I began to notice the more folks I held space for in the Devoted Community, the further away I was from taking that seat in front of my altar. My ancestors, council members in the unseen realm, and my spiritual allies were placed to the side as I ran past them in honor of "service," which was not okay.
I return humbly, asking for forgiveness and bringing back life to my connection to the spirits that have brought me so much magic and miracles. May spiritual alignment bring back harmonious Devotion in Motion as I follow my Cosmic Priestess Bliss.
Cosmically blissful living is Devotion in Motion.
Great Mother I come before you ready
to pause in the sacred celestial waters.
Giving myself fully to you so that
I may return to myself.
My inner sanctum has been muddled with
thoughts, actions, & oppressive systemic patterns
that do not allow me to breathe and bloom
but rather force me to feel scarcity and fear.
I call myself to myself.
Returning to my heart.
Listening to my internal guiding system.
Connecting with my ancestors
and spiritual council in the unseen realm.
With one hand on my heart
and the other extended with a palm facing the sky,
I devote myself to a 30-day spiritual sabbatical
where I shall follow my Cosmic Priestess Bliss
and explore Devotion in Motion.
How have I been spiritually misaligned?
What would a blissful spiritual sabbatical look and feel like?
What guidelines may I put into place that ensure my 30-days are for me first and foremost?
What does cosmic priestess bliss feel like?
What is one spiritual practice that feels called to enter my space again that I shall greet with reverence?
Pause. Listen to this meditation so that you may go all the way down and in.
Materials needed: journal or piece of paper, incense, water
Close your eyes and breathe.
Settle yourself as you bring awareness to your thoughts, your body’s feelings, the emotions flowing within, and then your energetic state.
Let it all go.
Bring forth in your mind’s eye the question, “how have I been spiritually misaligned?”
Pause.
Either write all the information that is coming through on a piece of paper or voice it aloud as you record it.
Cleanse yourself with incense, humbly acknowledging that you have lost your way.
Imagine you are releasing all the expectations, programs, and worries that have become the excuse from taking time for yourself and your spiritual aligned ways. Lay them all down with an exhale of your breath.
Fill your vessel with the intent to return to your spiritual practice by drinking water - not only hydrating your body but honoring the (w)holy celestial waters that are around you and within you.
Materials needed: journal or piece of paper, incense, water
As a group, each person finds a comfortable seat, closes their eyes and breathes.
Invite your circlers to settle themselves as you bring awareness to their thoughts, their body’s feelings, the emotions flowing within, and then their energetic state.
Share with your circlers to shake it out and let it all go.
Bring forth in their mind’s eye the question, “how have you been spiritually misaligned?”
Pause.
Enter in here music, bells, chimes, drums, singing bowls, or the sound of a fan fluttering
In between the long pause, continue to ask the question, “how have you been spiritually misaligned?”
Gently encourage folks to re-enter their body, bringing with them the understanding of how they have been spiritually misaligned. Encourage them to either write all the information that is coming through on a piece of paper or voice it aloud to a designated partner.
Group Share
Cleanse each divine person with incense, humbly acknowledging that they have lost their way and are walking humbly with a greater awareness of spiritual misalignment.
Collectively imagine each circler and yourself as the space holder, releasing all the expectations, programs, and worries that have become the excuse from taking time for yourselves and your spiritual aligned ways. Lay them all down with an exhale of breath.
Pour crystal-infused, herbal infused, fruit infused, or moon infused water into a glass for each participant. Hand them around in a circle, passing and gifting the water to one person at a time in a ceremonial way.
Invite the circle members to fill their vessel with the intent to return to their spiritual practice by drinking water - not only hydrating their body but honoring the (w)holy celestial waters that are around them and within them.
Each person speaks aloud what spiritual alignment feels like. Group collectively says, “so it is.”
You close with one final breath.
