Finding My People: From Isolation to Alignment
When I began opening up about what I was experiencing—especially the more mystical parts—something shifted.
For a long time, I was searching for community.
Not just people to hang out with.
But people who could understand me.
Or at least be curious enough to try.
When Growth Creates Distance
Since stepping onto my spiritual journey, something unexpected happened.
I started feeling… distant.
Not physically.
But emotionally.
Energetically.
From friends I had known for years.
These were people I cared about deeply.
People I shared history with.
But when I began opening up about what I was experiencing—especially the more mystical parts—something shifted.
The Gap That Formed
I wanted to share:
what I was learning
what I was feeling
what I was experiencing
But the moment I spoke about:
energy
healing
consciousness
It was like the conversation couldn’t go there.
Not because they didn’t care.
But because they couldn’t meet me in that space.
Feeling Seen, But Not Met
What made it more confusing was this:
They would tell me they loved me.
They supported me.
They cared.
But their actions felt different.
There was no curiosity.
No real engagement.
No willingness to explore what I was sharing.
And that created a quiet feeling inside me:
I am seen… but not understood.
Trying to Find Community in the Physical World
I didn’t give up right away.
I tried to find people in New York.
In-person.
I went to:
gatherings
events
even psychedelic communities
But something didn’t click.
The connection felt surface-level.
Or misaligned.
The Shift to Online
Eventually, I changed direction.
Instead of trying to find community physically, I went online.
I started joining communities built by teachers I had been following:
Each one opened a door.
Each one connected me to people who were exploring similar things.
Discovering Global Lightworkers United
Then I found something that felt different.
A non-profit organization founded by:
Bob Junke
Michele Andina
Ceres Ruzich
This wasn’t just another group.
It felt intentional.
Grounded.
Aligned.
A space that:
supports healers
recognizes lightwork
honors service
The Moment Everything Shifted
After attending a few sessions, something clicked.
Deeply.
For the first time, I felt like:
I had found my people.
Not because we were the same.
But because we were open.
Curious.
Willing to explore.
Being Seen for Who I Am
In that space, something unexpected happened.
I wasn’t questioned.
I wasn’t doubted.
I was invited.
To:
share
participate
and eventually… heal
Stepping Into My Role
During Zoom sessions, I was asked to support others through healing.
At first, I didn’t overthink it.
I simply showed up.
And what followed surprised me.
The Response
People began sharing their experiences:
feeling calmer
sleeping better
having more energy
letting go of emotional weight
Some shared physical changes:
moving more freely
less tension
improved breathing
clearer focus
What Made It Different
What stood out to me wasn’t just the results.
It was the people.
This was a group of:
mystics
therapists
intuitives
healers
People who were:
open
ready
curious
They didn’t need to be convinced.
They were already willing to experience.
Readiness Changes Everything
That’s when I realized something important:
Healing is not just about ability.
It’s about readiness.
When someone is:
open
receptive
willing
The process becomes natural.
A Different Kind of Trust
Another thing that surprised me:
They didn’t ask for credentials.
They didn’t need:
certifications
proof
validation
Because their experience was enough.
The Contrast
And then I thought about the other side.
People who:
question
doubt
hesitate
Often ask for:
credentials
validation
reassurance
Not because they’re wrong.
But because they’re not ready.
Two Different Ways of Experiencing Reality
This created a contrast I couldn’t ignore.
On one side:
People who trust experience.
On the other:
People who trust structure.
Both exist.
Both are valid.
But they operate from different places.
My Own Realization
At first, this left me confused.
Even a bit hurt.
Why would strangers trust me more than people I’ve known for years?
But the answer became clear:
It wasn’t about me.
It Was About Alignment
People don’t connect based on history.
They connect based on alignment.
And sometimes, the people you’ve known the longest:
👉 are not the ones who can meet you where you are now
Letting Go Without Losing Love
This doesn’t mean I stopped loving my old friends.
It means I stopped expecting them to:
understand everything
meet me at every level
walk the same path
A New Kind of Connection
What I’ve found now is different.
Connection based on:
shared curiosity
openness
willingness to grow
Not just history.
Closing
If there’s one thing I’ve learned through this experience, it’s this:
You don’t find your people by holding onto the past.
You find them by becoming who you truly are.
And when you do…
They find you too.
If this resonates, I’d love to hear what finding your people has looked like for you.
