Great Spiritual Teachers.

At some point in my life, I relate to the great spiritual teachers as these gurus who show up in your life and in a transcendental way affect your path.

But the truth is that as I evolve in my journey through this life, I have realized that the great spiritual teachers can come in many ways, yet always, at a time where we need to learn something.

This month we are celebrating my son’s birthday. And in all the happiness of honoring him, I found myself thinking about what his life has meant in mine beyond the unconditional love that I feel and will always feel for him. I realized that in this small being lives one of the great teachers of my life.

His self has given me some of the greatest joys and, in turn, has presented me with the most significant challenges, and do you know why? Because he is so like me that in him, I see the reflection of who I am. Everything good and what I know or have learned, I need to improve. I also realized that this great teacher came in his form because for me to understand the message he had for me, it had to come in the form of love. That is how wise God and our higher spiritual guides are, that they knew beforehand that the only truly effective way for me to receive his messages was through deep love.

My little teacher has helped me reconnect with myself. It has pushed me to go deeper and really understand what part of me needs to heal. It has encouraged me to tell myself the truth of many things that perhaps have been living in my subconscious and were forgotten. It has reconnected me with another level of emotions, those that you repress so that they don’t hurt you, but that today I approach with a love for my higher self and for this life that I am helping to raise.

But I must be honest; this path has not come easy. It has been a humble acceptance process, where I have had to let go of prejudices, limiting beliefs, fabricated realities, and unconscious masks. Where I have had to be vulnerable and accept this transformation with love, and it is a process that both of us live daily because the mind is stubborn and tends to return to its known patterns. That is why it is essential to connect with the heart and be bound in this great love that we have for each other and consciously decide to be better as individuals and at the same time together.

So yes, the great spiritual teachers affect your life in a transcendental way, but in my case, the one that has transformed me the most did not come in the form of a wise older man but rather in the pure spirit of a child. Thank you, my love, for showing me through your life the path to my own healing.

With much love,
