Dark Nights of the Soul are the moments in our lives where true transformation wants to take place. Small dark nights occur throughout one’s life, but usually, most people go through at least one intense dark night of the soul.
These chapters in our lives force us to stare into that obsidian mirror and face our deepest wounds and conditioning. They compel us to become our own healers, perhaps through illness, seeking out teachers and mentors to help us in our journey.
My community consists mainly of healers and artists, so I am confident most of us know what this can feel like, but just like everyone, we all have to start somewhere.
For me, the creation of LA Casa de Luz was the destruction of my past. While undergoing my Saturn Return in 2019, I was brought to the darkest night of my soul. Through intense purification, healing, and introspection, I took this darkness and created my literal Light House to help me do the same for other healers, artists, and creators.
So, if you're wondering if you are currently going through a dark night of the soul process or integrating from a past one, contemplate these four signs.
1.Existential Questioning:
If you find yourself grappling with questions about the meaning of life, the nature of reality, and your role within it all. It is time to get through the complexities of your beliefs, values, and your understanding of the world.
2. Loss of meaning or purpose:
If you feel disconnected from usual sources of inspiration or what once brought you fulfillment. Questioning your self-worth and value as well as your significance to this world. This forces you to confront the way you see yourself in the mirror.
3. Spiritual Emptiness/desolation:
If you experience feelings of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness that dominate your emotional landscape, your inner world is being shaken, which prompts a reevaluation of your emotional responses and coping mechanisms.
4. Transformation and Growth:
Despite the difficulty, you have a heightened level of self-reflection and introspection, which opens to personal transformation. This is a clear signal you are on a journey of enlightenment and self-discovery. This can lead to new insights, strengths, and perspectives that eventually lead to the rebirth of your spiritual and personal identity.
Becoming aware of what and why things are happening allows us to gain more insight and wisdom into our own healing journeys. If you resonate with this energy and are looking for support, these 1:1 sessions may be a great way to get you started.
