Abstract Wisdom

What's so fascinating about ancient wisdom is that we all interpret it differently. It holds different meaning across cultures, age groups, countries and religions. It's not one size fits all. Some aspects might resonate with some people but not others. Ancient practices and wisdom are meant to be experienced uniquely—it's more abstract than we think.

Ancient wisdom is derived from the opinions, perceptions and interpretations of other people. In that sense, it's ever-changing, ever-shifting and open to evolving. We all experience spirituality and mysticism differently. Even in one guided meditation class, everyone will have a unique experience.

The reason this is so important to discuss is that we need to know that we have to listen to what resonates for us. This means listening to our bodies, hearts and instincts. If one modality or practice raises your vibration, stay on that path. If another aspect of ancient practices makes you feel resistance in your body, move on to another. It's about creating our own unique recipe with outside guidance, energy practices and ancient philosophy. The main focus should be on doing what lights you up. Trust what your energy is communicating when you read books, listen to teachings, experience classes and partake in sacred ceremonies. Always trust yourself first and foremost—and have fun with the process! Even though ancient wisdom is sacred, it doesn't have to be so serious!
