Water Your Crown

I hope that your garden flourishes, even in drought.

Even in the darkest times, we must maintain our faith in spirituality to know that we will be okay. We must be guided by our inner divinity to remember that even if life does not go the way we want, it goes the way we need. When our crown chakra is activated, it is much easier to radiate within this belief. Not surprisingly, it’s also easier to do when the positive aspects are frequently flowing. However, your faith is tested not in the fulfilling moments, but in the lack of how grateful we are when we are not receiving.

I have always struggled with feeling cheated, cursing the wind and anything I felt had control over it - control that I always wanted. This desire came from years of upset - from loneliness, angst, and anger - that wouldn’t evade me. Circumstances out of my control made me feel like I had none, that I was just being pulled with the current of life as I swam against it. In these moments it was easiest for me to succumb to the heaviness. I would suffocate under the weight, and drown in sorrow of everything I didn’t have. And honestly, there are still some days when this fight takes over me. The difference between now and then, though, is that I know that it is only temporary - and it is my choice how I go about the difficulty.

Faith cannot be maintained if you must see to believe - whether it be in spirit, life, or yourself. You must know and trust that you are where you are, doing exactly what you need to do, in order to become who you’re meant to be. The moment you falter, your flowers start to wilt. The soil becomes poisoned with limiting beliefs, negative patterns, unhealthy coping mechanisms, isolating tendencies, cynicism, and scattered thoughts.

It is important to water your crown with beautiful thoughts because happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends on what you think.

When your mind is stable and centered, you are not easily deterred from your purpose. You have a sense of self that is unshakable. You hold compassion for yourself and others even during the worst of times. You are focused, at peace, and have an unwavering mental clarity that guides you through. It won’t always be easy, but that was never promised. But wounds can become wisdom with the right perspective. And furthermore, your resilience in the face of strife and defeat proves more powerful than you could even imagine for yourself. When your crown blooms, even you will be shocked in awe at the light and the life that shines. Don’t forget to turn the sprinklers on even when the lights are out.

With love, always.
