Immigration isn’t all about skill or opportunity, it’s about where the soul now belongs & the whole universe supporting its right to be in that land. It pervades restrictions, laws, perhaps even logic. How do we tap into this intuition or knowing about where our soul belongs? By paying attention to our natural, organic reactions & responses to the things in our environment, & if we notice an inner whisper, yearning to be elsewhere. This could be temporary, a “grass is always greener on the other side” situation, a form of escapism, sure, but is it about material growth, standard of living, a deep sense of knowing that that’s where you might thrive? Or is it about values, community, & culture alignment? Or maybe about thriving professionally in an env with greater opportunities? Exercise: Connect to your own, personal “why”!
Visas are nothing but permission slips to enter a land, & there is nothing that the divine needs permission for. When you fuse yourself with divine energy, it’s power seeps through & fights every obstacle in it’s way. Entering a land where your purpose lies is ultimately a matter of god’s decision, their strategic placement, not authorities' & governments' Hack the language of bureaucracy, rules & compliance, work with the best legal minds, but also make sure to tap into the Divine's process & purpose of actually making it happen 💫
While I created this circle to discuss what it’s like to approach the question of immigration spiritually, the news from the last 2 days about the H1B visa deserves immediate solidarity and compassion. Spiritual bypassing is when we deny or ignore our “negative” feelings like fear, pain, anger, sadness to stay in positive states of joy, happiness, excitement etc. However, this moment is to process this significant news, & hold space for all the feelings it brings up, ALL of them. Shock, paranoia, fear, rejection, uncertainty- all of it. Once we hold space for all of these difficult feelings, we can then move through them & device practical plans & strategies. Me personally- I woke up on Saturday morning at 5am to pee, and saw my WhatsApp blow up with messages from friends & family. I almost had an anxiety attack. I texted everyone, vented, panicked, and eventually went back to sleep. I spent the day processing & doing my work, but it hasn’t been easy at all.
People with little to no education or income make their immigration dreams a reality. If you’re meant to reside in a land, the whole universe will conspire to make it happen. Never doubt if your accomplishments are good enough to qualify. It’s ultimately God’s criteria, it’s he who decides. Not the immigration officer(s) or regimes. I’ve heard countless stories of immigration that can only be explained by serendipity, not laws, paperwork or logic. Although my strategy combines both. 🌸 Facts + faith 🌸
The immigration process is one of the most UNCERTAIN processes that one can ever go through, especially in the current socio- political climate. Therefore, it is absolutely the best time to practice developing “CERTAINTY beyond logic”, the skill that makes you the most spiritually immune & unshakeable ✨☘️
Immigrating spiritually is a group where I post reflections on the spiritual part of the process of immigration. I shed light on the fact that the process of immigration is as much spiritual as it is...
