Coming out of the Spiritual Closet

Something I have learnt over the past month or so, through conversations and reading lots of books, is that authenticity isn’t easy. Especially when being authentically you, means coming out of the spiritual closet. By that I mean, I am a very spiritual person and have an immensely spiritual outlook on life. Some people in my life might find that a bit hard to swallow, but as my spiritual growth continues, I am getting to the point where I am realising that in order to attract the right things and the right tribe of people into my life, I have to go about my day, saying a HELL YES to who I am. I have to go about my day saying, this is who I am, and if you don’t like it, I will compassionately tell you that you can go elsewhere. If I am wanting to shine, and If I am wanting to be authentic and attract the right things into my life, I have to say HELL YES to coming out of the spiritual closet. I am not going to force spirituality on you, and I am not going to pressure you in any way, shape or form, to agree with me on the way I see the world… but I am going to be authentically me, because I deserve that.

I have learnt something else from the current book I am reading… “Light in the new black”. And that is that your vibration is the best tool in your manifestation toolkit. It is more powerful than words, or what you wear, say or do. Like attracts like… and if I want to attract the right things and the right people into my life, I have to vibrate at that same level. And one sure fire way to lift your vibration and attract the right things into your life, is by authentically shining as your truest self. And if I deny my spirituality, If I hide my spirituality, I am not being authentic, I am not in alignment, and I will not attract what I truly know I want and need, deep down.

I am becoming quite comfortable with writing authentically… and showing readers the bare bones of who I am and what I believe to be true. But I don’t often talk with real authenticity, often choosing to hide certain things and certain words in order to make other people feel more comfortable. I realise its going to be a work in progress, as its something I’m not entirely used to. But I am getting slightly more comfortable being the real me, and it feels really really good. So I will continue down this path, and hold the intention of saying HELL YES to who I am, what I do, and what I believe in. And slowly but surely, I will get there and be out of the spiritual closet, for good.

Just one final thought, when I used to talk about authenticity years ago, I was referring to my past challenges. Learning to be authentic in regard to my past challenges took time… but I think I’ve almost got that down pat. Now, the challenge continues…. To become uniquely, whole. Watch this space.
