Over 15 years ago I decaded as Priestess. Priestess of the divine, of the feminine, of the divine within every living being including myself. Over 15 years I have served in ceremonies, as Melissa (volunteer), gave workshops and supported others in their contact with the divine.
As part of my journey to become a Reiki master, I realised I needed to tackle my food addiction. I still used food to nurture myself, calm, support, praise or celebrate. As I shared before, last August I stepped in a program to deal with my addiction.
This program brings me into a whole new layer of my relationship with the divine. A practical one, as part of my day to day life. I’m asking the divine for help with many difficult situations, and whether this is (not) buying certain foods, in relationships with others or to deal with my negative thoughts, it works. Sometimes via words of somebody close, sometimes via a song or something I read, sometimes in meditation or a hug. Everytime I realise I can’t do it on my own and surrender, help is arround the corner.
Whenever I’m thinking too complex or make a big fuzz out of something, you can bet it’s my ego and not the divine. Whenever I talk myself down or judge other people, same story. I always knew, but now also experience, how the divine is love, compassion, simple and clear.
