Maya and Paula are joined by Erica Cooley-Faulk in finding comfort in her daily practices of being uncomfortable during times of unsettling. Erica shares a grounding meditation at the beginning of the conversation bringing in unconditional loving awareness and white light into our space and merging density and light. Erica was raised by older parents, while attending a private Christian school, and enjoyed creation through dancing, photography, journalism, web design, business marketing, and has thrived within masculine dominated industries. Within the last year, she has found balance within the feminine aspects in her life such as her relationship with her mother, aerial yoga, sound healing and a deeper connection to spirituality and the air element while grounding into her experience here on Earth. In 2018, Erica found meditation as a tool to create better balance in her life. However, she found the acceleration in her Spiritual Growth since her birthday on August 17th, 2021 when her mom and dad got Covid on her birthday. She shares the journey of her father recovering after 3 weeks, and her mother passing away while in the hospital.She experienced struggles of feeling confined and isolated through the state of the world, while grieving loss and depression to our pain and suffering. She quickly learned the importance of taking care of herself and started to dig deeper and find gratitude for the pain and suffering. She speaks to the growth that has come from her deep seated fears of the loss of her parents. She knows these challenges have offered her growth deep within herself and realizes that she becomes the best version of herself when she faces her deepest fears. Erica continuously connects with her mother and allows her mother to live through her in each of her days. She shares her belief system of God and her understanding of what her mother is currently experiencing through her expansion of purity through death of her vessel. She shares her ideas on the process of aging and losing someone physically and embracing them spiritually. Paula shares her experience of both of her parents dying in her twenties and the many gifts that death has brought to her as well. They interpret right and wrong, similarities of spirituality and religion, exploring spirit guides, mortality, and the concept of energy living through us in connection to others. They share their understandings of separation from density within our own skin and union to light within Peace.
Through loss, she has gained insight within her relationships while building friendships and allowing for mentorship during this transition in her life. She explores the concept of “death doula” and holding space for others while finding the tools and modalities necessary to allow for transformation in life.
