Xenia shares her journey from opening a clothing store in New York City to closing it and embracing her spiritual offerings online. Guided by several intuitive healers and energy readers, she received profound spiritual reflections that led her back home to the Philippines and deeper into her life purpose and soul alignment.She describes the lockdown period as a great teacher, helping her to really see how important it is to have self-awareness and agency of own mind. Growing up in a religious family, somehow the religion just didn't stick with her as she realised her spiritual awakening is not about labels or boxes or fitting in to refined spaces but rather about authentic connection, inner freedom and deep exploration.Xenia reflects on our collective evolution, sharing her insights on how humanity is shifting away from binary thinking and toward harmony and nuance. Her story is a reflection of her personal transformation, her dedication to spiritual growth, healing and the deep dive of getting to know oneself.__ Xenia Marie Ross Viray (she/they) is an Imagination Healer, Frequency Artist and creativity catalyst.
