☀️ Taking away the pedestal

Somewhere along the way, we were taught to look outside ourselves for answers — to seek approval, to wait for permission, to find “experts” who could tell us who we are.
We’ve been conditioned to hand our power over to gurus, systems, or even instagram accounts that promise clarity. But here's a gentle truth: no one knows what you need more than you.
Not your favourite “healer”. Not your yoga teacher. Not your Reiki Master. Not your podcast host. YOU.
Yes, it’s beautiful to be inspired by others. To learn, to listen, to grow. But there comes a point when we have to pause and ask:
Am I searching… or avoiding what I already know?
🌿 Stillness Is Where the Wisdom Lives
We live in a world of noise — constant inputs, opinions, and “shoulds.” But real clarity? It doesn’t shout.
It whispers.
Stillness holds answers we can’t hear when we’re rushing to be better, more spiritual, more aligned, more “healed.”
Your higher self isn’t found in the next course or card pull.
Your higher self is the part of you that already knows what food you need. What colors bring you back to balance. What boundaries feel right. What rest you’ve been craving.
And she’s patient — she’s always been waiting for you to remember her.
🌙 Un-Guru the Knowledge
The people we put on pedestals — they’re not magical beings. They’ve simply remembered truths they’ve read, lived, or tuned into more consistently.
They didn’t discover something new — they remembered something ancient.
And guess what? That same wisdom lives in you, too.
This isn’t about dismissing teachers. It’s about taking them off the pedestal and putting yourself back on your own path.
Spirituality isn’t about how much you know. It’s about how deeply you listen.
🌕 Final Thought
You don’t need more advice.
You don’t need to be “fixed.”
You just need space to listen.
You just need to trust what you already know.
You’re not broken — you’re remembering.
