Spiritual Lessons I Would Pay to Have Learned Sooner

These are the ups and downs of my journey of awakening. For a while, it was riddled with both so much truth and so much sadness. My consistent yoga practice and strengthening of neuropathways to choose love in moments of fear really changed everything for me and finally anchored my beliefs.
The past few years have felt so much more still, stable, and discerning.
It's not that I don't have bad days now, its that I know how to cope with them and I know not to create from an energetic place of fear. I used to think of ending my life anytime I was overwhelmed in the slightest, I now know things do not need to escalate that far. I use those moments to show myself the most love. I revere and celebrate the tiny gifts life brings me every single day. I feel my spirits, guides, and ancestors watching over me, sending me omens and intuitions. The more still I become, the more I forget who I am, the more an entirely new world opens up to me, all my potential realities revealing themselves. Stillness brings me to the deepest level of expansion.
Wherever you are in your journey is beautiful, you are worthy in all moments.

Something I would have paid to know earlier: Time doesn't heal at all. Just waiting to heal from trauma is not going to get you anywhere. At least for me, you need to put in the work and attempt to heal. Everyone heals in different ways, everyone *is* different, but just waiting for your wounds to close and your scars go away is not going to happen if you just wait it out, even if it's years down the road. Be intentional with yourself, recognise and listen to what you are feeling. Don't shut off your feelings, embrace them. Feel everything that you need to, and use it towards your healing process. Like Hitomi said, you should be a safe space for yourself, make that happen :)

[@anjalijha5014]

I am sorry for the bad experiences that you've had. I wish you light but I feel like it's the mix of two. Time alone can't heal. Although on surface , you feel better but the trauma settles in and comes through time and again. Also, working on it alone isn't a solution. Working on the right time is. If something happens you can't immediately start working on it. You need time to observe, accept and with time when you get comfortable with understanding the situation that's when you start to work. So I think it's both! :)

As a man who has been following you for some time now I'd love to share what I've learned throughout my journey - My most important lesson being that the Western ideas of Masculinity and strength are rooted in deep insecurity (violence, lack of empathy, ignoring any and all feelings). What I've learned is actually quite the opposite, the strongest quality an individual can have is vulnerability (qualities attributed to the divine feminine). I hope as more men learn/are taught this we will be capable of building a better future and begin to undo some of the deep trauma caused by the patriarchy.

@@fairylush888 Hi, I'm just curious since you mentioned it. Intentional vs Survival?

[@fairylush888]

@@em-tc6zr I will give you my personal description, so when I am being intentional, doesn't matter what happens, ex: I get triggered, I choose to respond and do something that soothes me, but if I where in survival mode and I got triggered I would start coping in unhealthy ways,. Being in a intentional state it's a place where you acknowledge that you can heal and recover, receive and give, and you take actions that will help you ground yourself in some way. Survival mode or state, it's being in a place where you feel the need to always protect and defend yourself because you're caught up in trauma and fear of the future, in the video she mentioned something like that, and while you're in this survival mode you take actions that perhaps aren't the healthiest but you need to feel comfort and a sense of control. I hope this makes sense, I don't know tho, but I hope this helps as well!

A few things I would have paid to learn sooner: 1. Constantly surrender, let go of who you were only moments ago to be the person the present moment calls you to be, feel what is true now and let go of everything else 2. Be comfortable with letting go of control being in your power does not mean being 'in control' or 'having control' over your life, other people, your body etc. Flow with the river of life don't waste time trying to control the current. 3. Take your pleasure seriously, listen to your desires, feel the orgasmic yes

One lesson I have learned is that I can just observe the energies of others from afar without letting them be a part of mine. I try to acknowledge others' energy for what it is, what impact it has on my energy, what the intentions are and what it brings to my life and then let it go. Send it back off into the world. If it's an energy that benefits mine, I will keep it around and connect, but if it is negative energy or energy from a past wound, I will observe it from a far and learn from it, then I send it off, taking its lessons and sending that energy back off with new intentions, those that generate creation and love.

I have also learned that there are so many types of meditations and spiritual journeys, if something works for everyone but not for you, its okay, just try anything else. The one that took me so much time to learn, is that being positive doesn't mean that you have to stay happy al the time, that will mess up with your mental health, (I realized it the hard way) it means the despise having a sh*t day, that despise not having energy, it won't last forever.

Anger, jealousy, envy and ect is normal but you’ll have to normalize release Crying does not make you weak, you shouldn’t expect yourself to always be strong My voice is important & what I have to say is important. I don’t need others approval or validation for what makes me happy. It’s okay to not meet everyone’s expectations of me. You don’t have to feel like you need to be spiritual everyday, we are spiritual beings regardless. Showing up as your authentic self always is important

[@lonergina]

that last one really hit home for me. i'm still pretty young (just turned 21) and i constantly look back to the past and see both times of extreme darkness and blinding light but these past few months i've felt so drained and depleted and tired and steeped in sadness, never wanting to do anything for myself even basic stuff like eat or move. i feel so far away from that lightness and fullness i felt before but i'm starting to understand that i cannot pour from an empty cup, that i need to reckon with my sadness and also not lie to myself or blame myself for not being happy in this moment, realizing that i'm capable of and worthy of happiness and i will get there is a good starting point on its own

[@TristaBrianne]

I think self awareness is also a beautiful first step - just knowing what you have to do. Maybe right now you don't have the strength or energy to do it, and that's okay (as long as you're still eating and drinking water and what not). But if you need to rest for a while and sit with the sadness or darkness I think that's okay. Sometimes, it's just repressed energetic emotion, subconsciously even, that we've been avoiding for too long and it needs to be felt and released. When you're ready and feel capable of taking small steps towards feeling the lightness again, I'm sure you will. It's all a cycle, right? The light will find you again and you will begin to fill your cup again x I would recommend looking up the liberation circuit and manifestation circuit of the chakras. It might be able to help you call in that light and release the dark energetically when you are ready. Sending love your way x

[@harperhoughton6898]

One of the biggest life changing realizations I’ve had is the fact that people will most often not know that they’ve hurt you unless you tell them! I had always thought that the little, subtle comments were not important enough to bring up so I went for years carrying them. No matter how small a hurt, if you don’t express it, it will build up and hurt you even more and will create resentment for the person who hurt you! What I finally came to understand was my key part in that hurting of myself. I could not entirely blame the people for hurting me anymore because I had not told them so how would they know? Most people go through their lives without expressing these subtle hurts which only hurts themselves AND those who hurt them even more. How can those people grow and apologize if they don’t know they hurt you? It is our responsibility to tell people that they hurt us just as much as it is their responsibility to take accountability and apologize. Another realization that came alongside this one was that the subtle hurts born from offhand comments are often far more impactful/ important to pay attention to than the blatant ones. If someone says to you “your music taste is awful how could you listen to this?” It is an obvious hurt and easier to point out and heal from right away. The subtle nuance of conversation, however, often lends itself to smaller commentaries that feel less worthy of confrontation. These are even more important than blatant hurts because they are so hard to pick out (you may go years without coming to terms with a way someone close to you is subtly hurting you) and harder to acknowledge. It is all the more important to bring up the way small comments hurt you in the moment, however awkward (if it is a safe space to do so).

It is really hard to just randomly bring up..especially since I'm not necessarily close with them on a one-to-one basis, and it's because we're in a friend group together. It hurts because it makes me angry that somehow it feels like there's something about myself that makes it easy for people to mistreat/disrespect me and say rude things when they would probably not have said that to another friend. It makes it feel super personal. Idk what I'm going to do about it, if I am going to do anything, but it's really been making me avoid everyone more

[@maudeduguay9521]

Thank you for sharing your spiritual epiphanies! Here are some of mine: 1. It takes time, and there are no two identical paths. Do not compare your own spiritual growth to someone else’s, where it leads you or how long it takes you to get there. 2. This one’s a bit harder to explain: There is no good or bad, everything just is. Good and bad (or any other words that represent them) are our own view or bias towards neutral things. In other words, we, with our values, life experiences and ambitions, put the attributes of “good” or “bad” on things, so “good” and “bad”, in a way, stems from our own ego. For example, in 2016, my mother had boarded a plane to meet me in another country when I was studying abroad in Europe, and her plane was 2h late to takeoff, which meant she would miss her connection. This on itself could be seen as “bad”. But as it turns out, if her plane would have been on time, she would have been exactly where the bomb attacks happened in Brussels Airport. Her plane being late turned out to be a good thing! We often put the attributes of “good” and “bad” before we can know the rest of the story, and if we dwell or let “bad” things affect us negatively, we are actually self-sabotaging our own inner peace. Everything has good AND bad, it’s all about perspectives. 3. As we are part of a greater whole, we aren’t meant to only do things that will benefit us. This means, when you do things and they don’t necessarily seem to have had an impact on your life and might seem pointless to you, maybe you were unknowingly helping someone else in their journey. Our small actions all have butterfly effects on other people’s lives, and sometimes, our “pointless” actions actually have a purpose, just not in our lives or not that we can see. It’s not because we can’t see them that it isn’t impactful or helpful to someone else. I hope this helps someone and that this was legible enough, english isn’t my first language

Your channel is my safe space, my security, my warm hug and my encouragement to keep pushing forward even on my darkest days.

[@CurtSummers]

I love how much grace you’ve given yourself. I find that when we pressure ourselves to experience spirituality in a “perfect” way, we end up creating more resistance than we had when we were lost and first embarked on our journeys. It’s so important to recognize that your journey is your journey, through all the ebbs and flows and imperfections, it’s perfectly yours. So embrace that and keep shining 🙏🏾❤️

[@gisellegarcia8732]

I love the first quote, but just to clarify, it is a quote by Brené Brown :), her scientific research on vulnerability is amazing! Highly recommend her books Lovely video, thank you!

[@krspurrier]

Thanks for clarifying. It is disconcerting and difficult to continue to listen when words are misquoted. Especially when it is so easy to google the correct author.

[@mochimochi_-wt1ii]

the part of feeling fearful around family while seeing other people being haply with theirs I resonate with. The fear of my family has kept me in fear ever since I could remember. The way they stigmatized me and outcast me from the rest of the family and society... has left me very hollow feelings and almost believing that I am not important. These videos on letting go help me so much.

[@inarasuniverse-c137]

Every time Hitomi uploads my heart is instantly full of love, it's absolutely magical 🥰 I always acknowledged in the back of my mind that "everyone's perception is valid", however it truly takes time and patience to come to terms with that. One thing I noticed when I was well into my spiritual journey, I would display tendencies of "spiritual ego" where I thought my awareness and my perception of this reality was superior to those who perceived the world differently (materialistic, narrow minded, unaware etc.). I think I still do and I hope over time I can heal this need to project my views onto others, however subtle my projecting may be. Amazing content as always! Sending you and everyone else who's watching this video so much love and blessings. ✨

[@mackennapace2648]

so unbelievably grateful to have watched this

[@mayahoyle2939]

Can you do a video on how to feel safe when you had a traumatic family and childhood? And also how to continue dealing with your family so that you don’t fall back into the same negative thoughts and feelings around them

[@TristaBrianne]

I think you have to start to rebuild your environment one little piece at a time. It might start with a home that feels like your own and that feels safe for you, then attracting healthier relationships by working on healthy habits (nourishing your body, moving freely, positive self talk etc.) and then setting boundaries to keep yourself happy and safe while having your family still in your life. And like I said, always having that safe home for yourself and those healthy happy thriving relationships to return to after a heavier time with your family is crucial. sending love x

You have no idea how much i needed to hear this the most today, i resonated everything so much and its giving me tears. I've been feeling stuck for months (AHDH Paralysis) to the point of wanting to end my life because of my self sabotage thoughts and being really drained out and overwhelmed. It was only today that i've decided to meditate back and be gentle, to breath in and out as of this moment. Thank you for uploading this video!

slowly learning to see that every part of body shame is actually acquired throughout our life, thus disposable. A big way of integrating this realization in my daily practices is remembering how amazed I felt younger at my own and my mother's bodies. Nothing about the way we are existing is wrong or should carry shame. Thank you for once gain speaking your truth ❤️

[@serenaatallah641]

Wow! This is my introduction to your channel and your energy is everything! I related a lot to your family struggles as well and have also struggled with self-harm in the past. I've been on my spiritual journey for 2 years now and even though I did a lot of healing I still have a long way to go. Some things I've learned along the way are: - I'm not responsible for how other people feel. - I don't have to take care of everyone all the time - I have a right to have my voice heard - Self love is not selfish - I am worthy of happiness and I am worthy of life Definitely going to come back to this video again. I don't think I wrote enough notes! I will be subscribing. Thank you for sharing your energy.

[@hwngincherry6823]

everything you said in this video i resonate w sm this is literally what ive learned recently and i feel like ive always known it deep down, but understandinv it is something that takes a lot of time so while im not all the way there: im grateful to understand as much as i can now

[@aneesabahman3748]

Thank you for sharing this! For so long I felt as though I could not express deep insecurities because people expect a person they see as beautiful to not have insecurities. It was also hard that people expect us to have confidence or assumptions based on how they believe we feel.

I FELT SO CALLED TO THIS! I swear, when you sat down to record this, the universe used you as a vessel to speak this message directly to me. Our journeys are so similar. As I watched this, the video has 777k views. It is so beautiful to see you use your messes and turn them into messages for people like me to tune in and heal on this journey with you. Do not ever feel guilty for not holding space for those who aren't dedicated to their own practices. Those people are a percentage of the 777k and by you showing up and shining your light, you have planted the seed inside of them. You are a true light. I subscribed and can not wait to watch more of you videos!

[@emmanuelmarin2284]

My favorite thing about this video is how the whole time I just felt such a good positive vibe throughout the whole thing. I was really happy about the part when u talked about the whole plant medicine thing because I know I’ve been trying to reach that same state without weed or shrooms but I’ve realized that if I need weed or shrooms to do my journey I won’t be mad because hearing u talk about not having that calling made me very happy. Just hearing that it’s possible to reach such amazing spiritual bliss without it, makes me happy and I don’t know why but it does :) This video also is just another message for me that i know I want to help other people and make them happy but to do that I must help myself first. Thank you for such an amazing video and whoever reads this may you all have amazing blessings throughout life and remember you’re not alone ever you’re all loved and I’m sending my love to all ❤️

I love you hitomi, that's all i can say right now. This video made me realise so much 🥺i love my parents and i forgive them with all my heart. They're trying so hard to be the best they can and some days back we had a fight whete i said something really bad and i haven't been able to sleep peacefully since then. I know i said those because of bottled up emotions and frustrations, but i see them, i see their efforts and i will remember these when some other down moment comes. I really love my parents and i thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much hitomi, you're an angel. My angel. . This feels so good to finally write it down and express it that I'm balling my eyes out writing this because of how good it feels in this moment 🥺❤. So thank you, a lot.

Just what I needed at the moment and thank you for this deep message. I have had my lessons from my family members who hurt me a lot, but I am thankful for this cause it maked me just the way I am. What makes me continue this beautiful journey called life is the presence of Divine, or whatever you believe in. Then you see that people are just people and they hurt others because of their own insecurities, if you truly believe in something, the magic happens. I m trying to stay "connected" on a daily basis with the prayer in the morning for a blessed day to me and everyone I meet. Enjoy your journey. Love to all❤
