I arrived in Turkey, emotionally and almost physically "broken". I was consumed by an oceanic wave of tears from sadness, grieving…unsure why! At 5:05am, with a heavy heart and body defeated by emotional exhaustion and pain from a motor accident, I stepped into the supermassive modern airport (world's biggest) in Istanbul (largest infrastructure project in the history of the Turkish Republic). It was impressive!
Before my departure from Cape Town International airport, I "wrote off" my car on the freeway, but with the assistance of kind people and a close friend, I arrived timeously for my flight. For the next 24hrs, it didn't seem like much worked out for me…even though I tried to be as optimistic as possible. The trauma eluded me for a short while. I suppressed my tears from the shock of the accident until I checked into my hotel after 1pm the next day.
In Istanbul, I arranged to meet a student guide, Akif, for a personal tour via Air B&B (www.airbnb.com/r/lees20773/r/lees20773/r/lees20773) the full day and night except for a 4-5 hour gap when I checked in for me to freshen up and rest. He was friendly, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. The highlight of my interaction with him was gaining insights into their way of life. A greater understanding of their beliefs, their culture, their family values. I observed that no matter how many people I meet from different countries, different cultures, the is a blessing to some and a burden to most of their success is measured by a tertiary qualification, a good job, married and having children by a specific age. If one chooses not to conform, they are pressurized by both family and society to do so. This is the common thread.
I found beauty and a sense of healing contentment at the Süleymaniye mosque (completed in 1558), giving me exactly what I required at that moment. At the Hagia Sophia (Church of Divine Wisdom) museum, built in the 6th century which was a place of worship for Christianity and then Islam (yes, can you believe it 2 faiths combined in unity under one roof), my heart chakra expanded taking in the solitude and vibration of love swelling my eyes with tears.
Of course, I took the ferry ride, visited the Asian side of Istanbul, but most of the time I just was, I followed my heart, no other itinerary besides my first day with Akif. In true Turkish tradition, I did a Turkish coffee reading- gave me comfort on the path that I am walking. I shopped a little, flattered by the interest by Turkish men which eventually became a bit annoying, ate the sweetest desserts, admired the hot Turkish men and women (so much hotness in one place!) and filled my soul with dancing for hours until sunrise at a nightclub- amplifying the intensity of my experience in Istanbul. I fell in love with the hospitality and nightlife of Turkey.
On some days I experienced fatigue from energy shifts, cried a lot from sadness (challenging me to ascend), but after a few days, those tears were of joy…in gratitude of my life, how far I have come, the experiences I were having and just living in my truth! I continued to receive these small dosages in the days that followed, which increased my vibration and expanded my consciousness.
The highlight of my trip was a 4-day sailing trip from Marmaris to Fethiye. In 35 degree celsius heat wearing shorts, t-shirt, sunglasses, cap, no shoes, always feeling muggy and sticky apart from when I dove into the crystal clear ocean for swims, I felt freedom. I felt relaxation. I was in a child-like state, experiencing the wonders of life as if it was the very first time. I was light, liberated, one with nature, a greater connectedness with the universe. Each moment was of bliss including the night I slept on deck under the brightly lit sky of stars with the presence of Pleiadians (my soul community) and Sirians. It was only later that I learned that we are entering the Lions Gate of Sirius, my sleep under the stars preparing me for this light code activation. This was part of my healing, the water and the stars helping me purge what is no longer needed evolving my consciousness, stepping closer to my higher self, to my truth.
I docked in Fethiye on Monday, 29 July 2019. I stayed at Calis beach. The lightly salty air, view from my hotel balcony and within a few meters to the ocean accelerated my healing process. I observed the times that gremlins crawled in (my insecurities), and my brain was in overdrive thinking. I accepted it, did not judge it, it is me having a human spiritual experience. Aaahhh…slowly hacking my mind and body to grow into my light of vibration.
Upon a visit to a crystal store, I spoke to the owner of the store who is an energy healer- life working its magic. For 2 days he did some energy work (giving me exactly what my body required at that moment) on me and charged the crystals I purchased.
I toured the ruins of the Lycian city in Tlos and found healing in the icy waters as I walked the gorge in Saklikent.
Turkey, the birthplace of my blog has captivated a piece of my heart and grounded me. It inspired me. Travel filling a void in my heart, making it whole again. My inner being connected to my environment, whole and complete. Giving my life more meaning.
Travelling solo increased my self-confidence by me learning to trust myself more, trust my intuition, be fully present in my experiences, follow my heart desires as it pleased…discover more of who I AM!
If you long to travel, I strongly suggest that you follow your heart, set the intention, let go off the attachment and with unwavering faith believe in the manifestation. Whatever you desire is yours. This is your soul make up. Aahhh, the possibility of something more. You are a MIRACLE. Give your LIFE meaning. Believe! Love unconditionally!
You are responsible for you. Dare to live your truth! Be a Manifestar.
I love you.
