….Blessing, Sister, Love, Fam, Meditation, I stand for….

I am (nearly) 44 years old.

Sometimes my ego watches other people and instead of denying it, I am going to try to put out something that maybe others relate to as well.

Now I want to talk about new age/spiritual words, cliché and social networks trends.

Little premise: I am a human being trying to nurture my spiritual connection to energies, life, creator, every single day.

I say “trying” because I believe we -as humans- are like flames : attached to the ground, not discerning from it, yet continuously tending to something higher, creating more light.

I do art, I create sound, paintings, reiki hand free treatments, and cacao ceremonies.

And even if my business definitely would benefit from new age wordings and community connections, sharing beautiful fashionable trends, ethereal pictures on social networks, poetry and quotes from Rumi,…. I just can’t do it.

And the worse part : when I meet people and they say as a presentational mantra ”Oh I love yoga and meditation”, I even get goose bumps…!

I think we are assisting to a marvellous global rise of energies, where a lot of young people are more spiritual than ever, and we all collectively are doing an amazing job on this, and this is what the world needs : high vibrations, love, and purity of intentions.

I definitely can’t teach anyone on this, because I’m an eternal student myself, trying to be pure, energetically clear, and grounded whilst raising my connection to spiritual beings, and creative forces, whatever we name it.

Yet I believe a lot is becoming bland, with no taste, like when I assist many young persons manifesting on millennial conflicts without any clue on what certain words mean …I simply can’t stand all of this.

I am not too young, but not even too old, and definitely I acknowledge there we can’t classify in general terms no-one : yes there are many emotionally immature people from the baby boom generation, as there are many younger persons of great wisdom, but I also assist to a global wave of ignorance, that push youngish characters to promote strong ideologies, using feminist slogans (as “sister I believe you”), and use sweetish quotes without applying them in real life.

And as a cacao ceremonialist myself, also in the holistic world I see more and more “western wash” on these practices.

For “western wash” I don’t believe that white Europeans can’t be touched by a plant spirit, that can’t work with energies or that cant be paid for spiritual work.

This is instead my idea of “western wash” : being quick on taking sides, trying to make business with whatever pass through you or is fashionable, not integrating experiences, and making spirituality a cauldron of words, quotes and trends.

Please, all young persons out there : I know it could look cool, I know it could give you followers, I know you can get nice pics and feel high from success : stop for a moment.

And for anything you want to express an opinion for (political or whatever) read 2 books (google research is not admitted in this case) , one for every position.

If you want to use spiritual words : read at least 1 book about that content.

And if you want to make business with it : integrate first every teaching, every struggle, every raising, in your own life.

A lot of great things are out there, and there will be, so let’s not make this world a dull virtual place where we use words as “fam, sister, love, peace” but then we are just swallowed up by our own ego.

Let’s nurture the word, not ourselves only.

If we want to nurture our ego, then let’s not trouble beautiful words… Like Love.

Because : words matters.

Words express what we have inside, and they shape what we will become.
