Hello Amita,
How wonderful that you are taking some time to get to know yourself. My own spiritual journey has spanned many years, but I remember when I started out, not so sure of anything only knowing there was more to me than I had previously imagined. Yes, it felt confusing and I often felt like an alien in the world, unable to see the point of what was going on around, amazed at what I was discovering inside myself.
I was almost afraid to trust my new found self, scared of letting go of everything which was familiar to me. But I went for it anyway. I had been in so much pain for most of my life, with nothing that seemed important to everyone else having any meaning to me…My desire to know myself and have meaning in my life became an intention, and it was this strong intention which guided me to all I needed to know, everyone I needed to meet and to myself.
I would encourage you to simply let go of the need to feel comfortable with it all, and accept that change is not comfortable until you let go of needing it to be so. Trust is what happens when you let go and you will see as soon as you do this, that guidance will follow.
Love and peace,
Marilyn
