Are you open to the mystical world and its insanely beautiful experiences?

Over the weekend I was watching an episode of Goop on Netflix whilst climbing on the Stairmaster, and this particular episode focussed on mediumship and intuition, which for so many people is a place of scepticism and doubt. They had people who were open to the mystical, and some who weren’t, which makes for a pretty good program.

Goop is a lifestyle brand owned by Gwyneth Paltrow. I can’t say that I ever bought the magazine or anything, but I have enjoyed the Netflix series so far. She does is find ‘esoteric’ topics that her readers are curious about, and volunteers from her staff join in and report back what they experience. So far they have had Wimhoff, various energy medicine medicine techniques, a female sex-exploration expert, magic mushrooms, etc. Very cool. 

Me personally, I have done a lot of energy healing and had many unexplainable experiences there. I’ve sat in a sweat lodge with a shaman and left my body. I’ve thought I was Bigfoot during a big meditation, and received guidance from all around me.

Are you open to the mystical?

We are mystical beings and always have been. We are living a material existence, that’s all.

The issue is, you can only experience the mystical if you are open to it. If you have some kind of belief. Once you have that, and have an experience, you will be open to the mystical forever more, and you will have many more experiences to solidify that belief.

And by ‘open to it’ meaning, coming from a non-judgmental, I-don’t-have-all-the-answers-to-this-life kind of space. 

For me, becoming ‘open’ to it was something that only happened when I was up against a wall, facing mental illness issues, and chronic fatigue which was ‘only going to get worse over time’. According to the experts, anyways.

More-so, there was no medical treatment which would ensure my wellbeing, so in desperation I threw my hands up in the air, accepted I didn’t have all the answers and ‘surrendered’. Esther and Jerry Hicks teach how everything we want is waiting for us if we just ‘get out of the way’. I tried to follow that path to healing.

I was raised an Athiest, but I did always believe to a degree. From this moment of surrender, my life changed forever. 

So, the mystical does exist, and it’s completely changed how I view the world. What would happen if you opened your mind up to it too?
