🌿 Returning to Alignment: When the Soul Whispers, and the World is Too Loud to Hear

There comes a point — quietly, devastatingly — when you realize: you’ve been performing more than you’ve been living.

The job title fits. The smile is practiced. The calendar is full. The house looks okay from the outside.

But inside? You’re untethered. You’re exhausted. And if you’re honest… you’re not sure where the real you went.

This is not weakness. This is not failure. This is a soul out of alignment.

🕳️ Welcome to the Matrix

Like the characters in the movie The Matrix, many of us don’t know we’re trapped inside a carefully constructed illusion. We wear roles like armor. We follow systems that reward performance over presence. We smile through burnout. We hustle through heartbreak.

And one day, we feel the glitch — Not a loud crash, but a slow unraveling.

Migraines. Sleepless nights. Digestive issues. Emotional numbness. Explosive anger. Apathy. Bloating. Isolation. Financial spirals. Relationship collapse. Creativity gone dry.

These aren’t flaws. These are signals.

The body keeps score. The soul keeps speaking. And the louder the world becomes, the more painful it is to feel how far we’ve drifted from ourselves.

🚨 How Disconnection Manifests

For over a year, I lived the unraveling. I gained weight. My period stopped. My appetite disappeared. My sleep fractured. My friendships dissolved. My finances crumbled. I experienced deep leg pain, headaches, and hormonal chaos. I stopped writing. I stopped creating. I lost the rhythm of my life.

And yet, on the surface, I looked “fine.”

What I didn’t know then — but know now — is that all of it was trying to get my attention.

My body. My intuition. My inner child.

Each one whispering: this is not who you are.

💡 The Illusion of Being Everything to Everyone

I once believed self-sacrifice was noble. That being endlessly available, endlessly productive, endlessly agreeable meant I was doing it right.

But like the protagonist in Everything Everywhere All At Once, I began to realize — trying to be everything to everyone is not selfless. It’s self-erasing.

And when you disappear from yourself, the body mourns. The spirit waits. The soul whispers — until it has to scream.

🕊️ The Girl With Stars in Her Eyes

I used to ask myself: Where is that girl who moved to Los Angeles with stars in her eyes?

I thought I needed to find her again. To resurrect her. To go back.

But healing doesn’t mean going backward. It means letting go of who we thought we’d be, in order to make space for who we are now.

I had to mourn her. Thank her. Release her.

This, too, is ego death — the painful process of detaching from our own expectations. From our timeline. From our old definitions of success and identity.

There is no going back. There is only presence.

🔁 The Way Back Isn’t a Fix — It’s a Realignment

Healing didn’t come all at once. It came in tiny revolutions:

• Saying no, and meaning it.
• Finding joy in painting again.
• Walking my dog.
• Breathing.
• Crying without rushing to clean it up.
• Forgiving my past selves.

I began studying life coaching. Doing shadow work. Inner child healing. Writing again. Working out. Smiling. Sleeping. Letting go of the glass of wine that once marked the end of my day. I didn’t need it anymore. I had peace without it.

Slowly, I started coming back. Not to the person I was before… But to the version I was always becoming.

🎼 The Inner Hum of Alignment

There is a sound inside of you. Soft. Inaudible, almost. Like the faint hum of a tuning fork buried deep beneath the noise of the world.

When you are out of alignment, it’s easy to miss — or mistake for static. It sounds like confusion. It feels like overwhelm. It hums like dissonance.

But when you come into alignment with your soul, that hum becomes a symphony. Not loud. Not dramatic. Just true.

You feel it in your bones. You move with it. You live in rhythm.

This is what real alignment sounds like — not perfection, but harmony.

And it’s waiting for you.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Listening to Your Inner Core Takes Work

That voice inside you? It’s still there. But you can’t hear it through the noise of survival.

To reconnect, you need:

• Quiet — to notice what’s real
• Practice — to build new rhythms
• Patience — to stay when it gets uncomfortable
• Compassion — to stop shaming your survival
• Self-love — to believe you’re worth the return

You cannot shortcut this. You cannot outsource it. You cannot logic your way through it.

You feel your way home.

🧭 Your Path Will Be Your Own

Authenticity isn’t a formula. Alignment isn’t a checklist.

Your journey will be yours — sacred, nonlinear, sometimes slow. But there are practices that help: Gratitude. Reflection. Visualization. And the hard questions we often avoid:

• What do I truly want?
• What do I truly value?
• What must I release?

Your subconscious already knows the answers — it just hides them in shadow. Your work is not to fix yourself. It’s to faceyourself.

And that might take time.

I spent hours each day in reflection. I stopped numbing myself with old habits. I picked up paintbrushes, pottery, poetry. I moved. I cried. I grew.

You will too.

But give yourself 90 days, not 9. You’ll fall. You will question yourself. You will wonder where the path is. It’s okay. Get back up. Commit to yourself. Once the path disappears, the path is actually yours – you are building it brick by brick.

You are worth returning to.

🔑 This Isn’t the End — It’s the Invitation

If you’re feeling disconnected, angry, numb, tired, stuck — you’re not broken. You are being called back into alignment.

Back to your values. Back to your joy. Back to your breath. Back to the thread of aliveness that links all of us — human, soft, sacred — into one great work of art.

This work is not easy. But it is everything.

And you don’t have to do it alone.
