My belief... coming from a man, ex-armed forces, entrepreneur.
My awakening happened 4 years ago, just after COVID – I used to believe spirituality was 'woo woo' like a lot of us.
When Emma came home from having a past life regression session several years ago, my immediate response was, "What a load of BOLL%$S."
Well, how wrong was I?
It's not something you look for, chase, seek – it happens to you/for you. It happened in our life in a huge way.
Everything changed... lifestyle, relationships, interests... the old starts to fracture away from yourself. It's kind of like a rebirth – and you feel so, so different. A feeling where you want everyone to feel the same way you do, you talk about it... but most eyes glaze over and those you speak to probably think you're crazy.
Waking up can be quite lonely... suddenly you lose interest in the things you used to do for entertainment, like going to the pub etc. Conversations about the weather just don't feed you... you want to go deep.
You are amazed by the tiniest things, seeing sign after sign – a white feather that drops in front of you when you're worried... the universe/guides saying, "It's all good" – as typically the bad always leads to good in some way, shape, or form.
A dream that gives you the gut and intuition to make powerful decisions.
Co-incidences that come time and time again are no more coincidence than actual events giving you guidance.
Hitting a higher state of consciousness brings more abundance, joy, peace, happiness into your life.
You realise the outside world and how you view it is purely based on perception and how you feel internally.
You start to see the world differently, your eyes open – fear-based news, schooling system, financial, advertising, capitalism – all of it designed to stop you realising who you truly are. It's all by design and it's so obvious when you see it.
I used to blame my anger, stress, and unhappiness on everything else. The chase for happiness was the things that I bought rather than peeling back the layers of stress I carried.
We are souls having a physical experience... life is like a blink of an eye in your soul’s existence, yet we put so much emphasis on the act of accumulation of money and goods... never really enjoying the journey but hurrying to get to the destination where we believe happiness is.
If I didn't truly believe in this, I wouldn't have closed several successful businesses and bet my life's savings on something that didn’t seem right to us. Everything we have ever done, every lesson learnt has led us up to being able to create a retreat and be able to guide others on their healing and spiritual journey.
We can help you carve a path of happiness and abundance - join us on retreat 🫶
