"Be as spiritual as you are and do what makes you feel good. You will reach new levels of spiritual maturity and understanding when you’re ready. And you will handle your daily life with more wisdom and grace accordingly. Until then, be as spiritual as you are rather than doing what you think will make you more spiritual."

⚠️**Disclaimer: WHEN I WRITE OR TALK ABOUT GOD, I DO NOT REFER TO A FATHERNAL FIGURE IN ANY FORM, NEITHER RELIGIOUS OR OTHER, NOR DO I REFER TO MERE MASCULINE ENERGY. IN THE BROADER SENSE OF THE WORD, I REFER TO THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND LIFE; THE ENERGY THAT MAKES ALL OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY POSSIBLE**⚠️ . How can you notice the nuances of this reality, the subtleties of this existence, the mystical, the little things that fill you with wonder, if you are not receptive to them? How can you see magic if you don't believe in it? And how can you experience God if you don't acknowledge your direct connection to this primal force governing the cosmos? Don't you think, by experience, that we live in a very intelligent system? Don't you think, by experience, that there is more than what meets the eyes? Don't you think, by experience, that we are more than flesh and blood? . It takes nothing to see God. Look at your reflection in the mirror; how meticulously you were designed. Ponder on your own existence, everything that has led you to this point. Don't you think there is something keeping all of this together that is beyond what we can ever explain? And are we not, with our mere existence, connected to this "thing"? . Read my latest blog post to read how I dive deeper into the notion of spirituality and why I believe that we are Always Spiritual. #LinkInBio

From the latest blog: "I’m currently reading “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert (amazing book!) and this thought recently hit me: I don’t need to do sh*t to be spiritual. . You do stuff and you are spiritual. Regardless of what you do. Read that again. . There is nothing you must do to be spiritual. We are always part of- and connected to Spirit as we are all spirits enjoying a temporary existence in a coat of meat. Do nothing to be with God, for you are part of God. We are instruments of the Divine, being and doing. Without doing, we are still instruments of the Divine – just not utilizing all our tools." #LinkInBio . . . . #AlwaysSpiritual #Writing #WritersofIG #Spirituality #Blogpost #Thoughts #Experiences #Spirit #FoodForSoul #FoodForThought #IAMSpiritual #Always #Life #Purpose #Beliefs #Consciousness #Magic #Activate #God #Divine #Spirituality #Writer #JunealHolder

I've been inactive for some months doing nothing and a lot. In this post, I share some of my mundane experiences and how those link to being spiritual. I also give you my thoughts on spiritual practices and creativity. But the bottom line is this: you can't do spirituality. #LinkInBio . . . . #AlwaysSpiritual #Writing #WritersofIG #Spirituality #Blogpost #Thoughts #Experiences #Spirit #FoodForSoul #FoodForThought #IAMSpiritual #Always #Life #Purpose #Beliefs #Spirit #Consciousness #Magic #Activate #Mindful

Masculine. Feminine. Creativity. Sensuality. The Cherry Experience 🍒✨ By @acyn_ 📸❤️✨..

I wrote this quote around 4 weeks ago, but somehow never elaborated on it. It was initially inspired by "My Take on Experiences" - check it out on the blog!✨ . As long as we are alive, we are susceptible to unconscious or conscious responses and experiences. We decide to experience based on old conditioning and past experiences or awareness of what is happening at any given time. Mindfulness is a continuous process. . Whenever we come out of a place of unconsciousness, we often react to the world as if the world is happening to us. This is because we are ignorant of what's happening inside and get triggered by outside. Whenever inside of us is troubled, it reflects itself to the outside and you are more vulnerable to react to your environment accordingly. . On the other side, you can be aware of what’s happening both inside and outside you – and out of a place of awareness you choose how to respond. You can observe possible scenarios and outcomes of whatever you’re thinking to do or say as a response to outside stimuli and then decide the course of action. . Detached observations can give you much insight. But as humans, we feel so intensely. These feelings, often unconscious, usually take the lead and say and do things on our behalf. With this post I want to remind you that we are constantly deciding between ignorant reactions and aware observations. Give yourself time to choose your experience by observing your emotions and thoughts before. . Background Art by @artbystevej 🎨✨

“If you want a butterfly, you got to be a butterfly” - @IndiaArie ✨🦋 . Sitting with my friends in the park a few days ago, a butterfly was flying around us. A very friendly, I'd say… This butterfly felt comfortable enough around our energy to land on us multiple times. It had a moment with me, too, where it stood there on my arm quite comfortably, without any rush to leave. . Looking at it deeply in an eye, I got reminded of the beauty of transformations; there is so much beauty in evolutionary change. Growing pains are there for transformations to happen. I smiled as I gazed at the beautiful creature 🐛✨🦋 . Its detached nature reminded me of the freedom that comes with growth. The friendly butterfly reminded me that I’m changing and evolving into something I know exists but haven’t experienced yet. To be patient and trust the process. . . . #onewithnature #butterfly #experiences #thoughts #magic #beautiful #reminders #followthesigns #nature #beauty #majestic #indiaarie #spirituality #spiritanimal #evolving #trust #trusttheprocess #awakening #energy

"We live in systems, and systems have a way of working. Without knowing when, or how, you might find yourself in a system. And if you are not aware enough, you stay stuck in a system. Put so meticulously in place, these systems work for the ones running them. The ones not running such systems either get used to the system, reject the systems, or fight the systems. A few try to change the systems."

NEW BLOG POST ALERT: Thrive In Systems ⚠️✨.. "The most common system that I see is the traditional working system; the full-time job. Perhaps because I am now a full-time intern in an organization, I reflect on my experience the past 2 weeks. I first had to get used to the system – physically and mentally. I had to get used to being in a space for over 8 hours per day, and working for 8 hours. I love what I do in that organization – it’s important for me, and I support it, but that’s not my point. This post is meant to shed light on societal constructions and how we deal with those, not whether or not full-time jobs are a good or bad thing. I truly believe it’s up to us to give our lives purpose. Some find their purpose serving in a full-time, 9 to 5 job. [...] It’s impressive how we commit to organizations and want to deliver our best, but when it’s about showing up for ourselves, we do so so-so. I saw this in me the past few weeks; I put a stop to everything I was doing, and most of my attention was on the job. I didn’t write, I barely meditated, didn’t sport, barely socialized… Just working and Netflixing after work. In two weeks time I realized that I must be able to get more out of my time, regardless of a full-time internship. Even if I happen to end up in a full-time job, it’s up to me to do that temporarily or stay in its overarching system. Living my life my way is my decision."
