You’re honesty in this article Emily is what we all need. Thank you for sharing it. This reminded me of the dark night of the soul. You called this out in your article as well. It’s’ simply a moment on a spiritual journey. Going through it is the practice and like all practices, they self destruct at the end. Similar to our human experience. The you who went through this is not suppose to be the you who came out of it. If the practice is working, you should feel exactly as you are feeling.

It’s also interesting to me that you spoke on writing about manifestation. I hear what you’re saying by “i mean I probably did?” Don’t forget, contraction before expansion. The ebb and flows of life are just like your act of breathing in this moment. A balanced dance between the two.
