Can I shine my light from a place of darkness?
For the past few months Ive been living with my parents because I quit my job and had no savings. I tried to get some new work but now the idea of going back into that matrix-ey grind is not sitting well with me. And, I’m just not getting the right opportunity which is something that has never happened in the past. Whenever I have been stuck, Ive known what next steps to take and I get exactly what I wanted after doing the work. Right now, I’m very confused and don’t know which direction to go.
I want to start facilitating meditations and making art. I have already done a few workshops. But I’m not in a very good place in my life because of money issues and feeling stuck living with my parents. So, I feel how can someone like me guide other people when I haven’t really solved all of my issues. And, I can’t go anywhere right now to learn or get a certification because, no money.
However, I meditate regularly and have seen the changes it has helped me make. I practice active meditation (presence through activity, movement, creation and work). I know it can help others too. I get good a response from many people who attend my workshops. But I’m just afraid in a way to take it online and start a course because I’m not living the life of my dreams yet. And, most people I see online are already, rich and successful. I’m sure everyone starts somewhere but I’m at the rock bottom. But, everyday I am growing, accepting and making changes that I need to make in order to grow. I’m taking care of my body and Im not making myself overworked like I used to. I’m kinder to myself and others and tbh I know I have come a long way.
Now, I feel like I should just take the leap of faith. I’m also afraid of being seen and guiding others in the wrong way. I feel like I will only know if Im on the right path if I try and share my knowledge and techniques authentically with others. But is experimentation the right way? Some people have reached out to me on social media for guidance and my intuitions says I have guided them to the best of my abilities. I know there are others who need the guidance too. But am I the right person to help them? Idk.
Is anyone feeling the same way about their spiritual work? Has anyone else recently started their practice and building it? When and how did you start?
