The Spiritual Path is a path of Love

I grew up in a Christian world. Baptized, I attended catechism classes and studied the Gospels, and I was deeply influenced by certain fundamental tenets of the Bible, such as original sin. I have always loved entering churches, places of peace and contemplation. Irresistibly drawn to spirituality, I embraced the precept of chastity that comes with choosing a spiritual or monastic life.

I have experienced several love stories throughout my life. As I expressed when referring to the ‘sacred feminine’, I always acknowledged my desire for the one I loved, but I could not ignore a certain shame after our embraces… In a fleeting way, I would awaken in myself the myth of the temptress woman at the origin of sin… I unconsciously united myself with all those women – whether Muslim, Hindu or Christian – despised and mistreated in this world dominated by men and by all-powerful religious authorities.

In 2020, my husband and I attended an online "Sacred Love Summit." Tantra was to be discussed. I admit that, trapped by my prejudices and beliefs, I wasn't initially drawn to the subject. Two absolutely remarkable Tantra instructors (but is it a coincidence that I was only truly moved by the words of two men?) spoke with both power and simplicity about the sacred nature of the spiritual, emotional, energetic, and physical union of two people who love each other.

I experienced a profound revelation, a shock of undeniable truth.

Almost immediately, my sacral chakra, which governs sexual energy and creative feminine power, opened like never before. In the days that followed, my kundalini awakened very intensely. And when my husband and I united in love with this new awareness, I accessed states of being previously unknown to me (intense and inspiring visions, bliss, experiences close to ecstasy). It became clear that these sacred encounters further strengthened the kundalini awakenings, bringing with them the elevation of my vibrational frequency.

The body spoke. The energy spoke. Yes, it was undeniable and liberating. I thought to myself, "So, everything was wrong." Original sin doesn't exist, and abstinence is meaningless. And this degrading view of women is completely unjustified.

The spiritual, emotional, and physical union of two loved ones is sacred, and this fusion should be celebrated. It is simultaneously soothing, restorative, magical, blissful, and ecstatic. It is divine. And it is an integral part of the path to truth and spiritual evolution. This truth goes against so many religious precepts, but it cannot be silenced.

Doubt is no longer an option.

The Spiritual Path is a path of Love:

* Love for oneself:

a conscious journey to free oneself from pain, encounter inner peace and wisdom, and achieve full self-realization.

* Love for others, the beloved:

mbodying one's sacred feminine or masculine energies, opening one's heart with trust, and uniting in divine love.

* Love for Humanity: a

pproaching each human being with kindness and humility, and with the certainty that they have something to teach us.

* AND love for all living things and our home:

encountering all living beings, animal or plant, with gentleness and respect, and protecting our wonderful planet, which so desperately needs it. Today, a spiritual path can no longer ignore the battles to be fought to preserve all that can still be saved on Earth.
