Trusting My Intuition: The Journey From Egypt to Australia

Sometimes, the journey you’re meant to take doesn’t unfold the way you expect. Sometimes, it takes you places you never imagined—places that force you to grow, to change, to trust in the unknown.

One of those moments in my life came when I was in Egypt, in the heart of the Great Pyramid, participating in a ceremony that I now recognize as a catalyst for everything that came after.

The experience itself was surreal. We were inside the King’s Chamber, surrounded by the ancient stones of the pyramid. The air felt thick with history and energy, and I could sense that something powerful was happening. As the women around me began to sing, the sound reverberated throughout the space. I didn’t understand the language, but I felt the vibration in my body. And then, something within me broke open.

Tears began to flow. It was uncontrollable, unexpected, and it felt like a deep release of emotions I hadn’t even known I was holding. The grief, the sadness, the years of unspoken pain—they all seemed to rise to the surface at once. And yet, there was no fear. Only a deep sense of surrender. I allowed myself to cry, to feel, to let go of whatever was blocking me. I didn’t know exactly what I was letting go of, but I trusted that it was exactly what needed to happen.

That night, as I walked out of the pyramid, I knew something had shifted. I didn’t know what was next, but I could feel that the next chapter was beginning. What I didn’t realize at the time was that this ceremony would lead me to Australia—a journey that would profoundly shape my life.

A month later, I was on a plane to Australia for my study abroad program, a place I had never imagined would play such a pivotal role in my journey. My time in Australia was transformative in ways I didn’t anticipate—new people, new experiences, and a whole different way of living. It was in Australia that I was introduced to underground parties, the vibrant energy of new friendships, and a world of spirituality and dance I hadn’t yet explored.

I learned so much in that time, about myself and the world around me. But the thread that connected everything was the deep, trusting intuition that had been guiding me since that moment in Egypt. I trusted the process, even when I couldn’t see the full picture, and every step I took led me closer to understanding who I was and what I was meant to do.

I look back now and realize that it all started with that moment in Egypt, when I surrendered to the flow of the ceremony, trusting that something greater was unfolding. That experience, that trust, paved the way for everything that followed. It showed me that when we listen to our intuition and follow the path laid before us—even when we don’t understand it—it always leads us to where we need to go.

The journey is never linear, and there will be times when we doubt. But when we trust in the unknown and stay true to ourselves, the universe has a way of guiding us exactly where we need to be.
