    I enjoyed this post immensely.

    I myself have been on a spiritual journey for some time now. I have had amazing moments of clarity and purpose along the path and yet at times the ego is just a gnarly beast waiting to trip you up at every turn.

    I have only recently moved to Wellington from Melbourne and leaving my circle of friends who indeed understood my journey has come with challenges as I settle into a very different life here.
    Lucky for me I am a life coach and can give myself the space I need to work through these times.

    I like what your friend said. It’s good to be given someone else’s nurturing perspective when on the quest.

    It is so true what you say. You can never not follow down the path once you catch a glimpse of the abundance in life when looked through a different lens.
    I feel like I have only just scratched the surface sometimes. It’s an exciting place to be right now.

    Thanks

    Hi Kara-Leah. Thank you so much for this post; it really speaks to where I am at the moment. I have recently made the decision to walk my spiritual path with serious intent, after dabbling for a couple of years. The first thing I have discovered is that my main obstacle is MYSELF – my lack of acceptance of myself, my resistance, my anger, etc. And here was I thinking it was going to be a walk in the park – yeah right! Fortunately, I am discovering wonderful new people and places, including this website. Thanks so much for writing! Rangimarie, Anne-Marie

    Hey Yvonne,

    Welcome to Wellington! The ego can be a gnarly beast indeed – and I can imagine all the tools and techniques you’d learn as a life coach would be very valuable.

    Hey Anne-Marie,

    Yep, the only thing standing in our way is the gnarly beast… that damn ego.

    Thanks so much for both of your comments – it’s lovely to meet my readers in this way.

    Blessings,
    KL

    Hi Kara-Leah,

    Thanks for your comment on my blog.

    I am definitely into all types of Yoga, Bikram being my fave! I have not done it for a few months but I do different asana’s after each daily workout to ground me.

    I am living in the Nikau Valley and there doesn’t seem to be much in Paraparaumu.

    I am looking for a car and once I get it could probably be in Wellington more regularly.

    Cheers,

    Yvonne

    Hey Yvonne,

    Marianne Elliot runs Prana Flow classes once a week in Paekakariki. She’s on holiday in Bali right now doing a Prana Flow retreat with Twee Merrigan, but you can find out more under Wellington Yoga Classes above, all her contact details are there.

    Cheers,
    KL
