Being Worthy

​As human beings, we have an internal compass that judges actions as "right" and "wrong". That judgement of action is necessary to keep us aligned with our nature of peace, joy and love.

We get lost when this compass stops judging the action and starts judging the person. We confuse mistakes with the value of the person (us or others), deeming someone worthy or unworthy based on the number and size of mistakes they have made.

This idea of worthiness extends not only to how we treat ourselves or people (how much attention, love, time or even effort we put into the relationship) but also the blessings we believe that (we or) that person is worthy of.

Having transformed radically through this practice, some of my friends often said to me "you just want it all, don't you?". And my answer is "yes, I do". This is a revolutionary answer from someone who spent most of her young adult life loathing herself. I felt unworthy of anything good happening to me and when it did, I subconsciously rejected it, feeling uncomfortable in being blessed when I clearly did not deserve it because to me, I had made mistakes and was now unworthy!

Being a mother taught me that this was not true. My love for my daughter and my desire for her to receive blessings does not depend on how well she behaved that day. And if the love of a mother is a micro version of the love of God then how can God judge us or withdraw his blessings if He loved us?

The way I see it is that our mistakes do not cause God to judge us, or deem us unworthy. Our inability to love ourselves through our mistakes do. The number of prayers, meditations and hail Mary's do not determine how worthy we are of spiritual awakening. Our own understanding of spirituality does. And if God is Love then spirituality is the ability to love. And how can we love when we are busy judging ourselves, and therefore others, as unworthy.

May this year bring you the peace you desire and the love you deserve.

    Weam is the founder of Namaste. She had started a very deep and intense spiritual journey at a young age having refused to continue to suffer with the common challenges of her generation: depression, anxiety and being lost. She insisted that there must be more to life than the constant rat race she was in

    Since delivering her baby in 2007, Weam has been hooked on yoga. Seeing how it transformed her body, and mind, she started practicing regularly fascinated by the way yoga got her to look at her mind and body in broader and more creative ways. Yoga stretched her body and mind beyond her comfort zone and created more space for her within.

    Taking her yoga practice further Weam got certified as a yoga teacher (RYT) and now truly believes that yoga is for everyone . She finds great joys taking people to their own edges to allow for growth and to help individuals achieve their goals whilst respecting their bodies and its limitations.

    Being fascinated by the human mind and body, Weam came across Reiki. The Reiki meditations transformed her emotional and mental state in ways she had not thought possible. Feeling that freedom from the prison of her own mind she decided to dedicate her life to help others find the tools right for their own spiritual growth and inner peace and so Namaste was born.
