40. Death & Rebirth

If you ever lost your faith, or find yourself losing faith quickly, this episode is for you. In this solo conversation, I share with you one of the most significant events in my life that took me further away from my trust in a Higher Power. I experienced grief for the first time a day after I turned 18 years old. I decided then & there that since my prayers weren’t answered, there was no such thing as a Higher Power. I felt betrayed, disappointed and mostly angry. For the years after that, I stopped believing in anything. I stopped praying. I went into complete darkness and found myself making poor life decisions. There isn’t one way to reconnect to our faith. For me, it was through meditation and yoga. It was through calming down the noise in my mind. Through opening up my heart. For others, it may be through prayer or immersing oneself in nature. Throughout our lives we may have moments of doubt, of confusion, of loss, of grief. We may have moments where we fall from grace and lose faith. Falling from grace just means we have certain beliefs about God, the Universe, Source (whatever it is you call it), that are against us. We believe that because things aren’t happening the way we asked them to that they aren’t right.In this episode, I share with you how I’ve been using my faith in order to navigate the new experiences in my life. Each moment is an opportunity to gravitate higher towards Love or lower towards Fear. mariaamiouni.com @maria.amiouni @thecosmicchannel -- Edited, Mastered and Distributed by sonorouslab.com
