The first time I heard about chakras and energy healing, I looked at my friend and quietly wondered, “How could this smart girl believe in these things?” She spoke so passionately about the healer she met that unblocked her chakras with crystals while I sat beside her convinced that none of what she said could be real.

I could imagine myself back then saying, “Talaga? Paano?”

That was eight years ago. A time when I thought I’d climb the corporate ladder as a necessity that followed my educational background, even though I really disliked the idea of being in the office.

Little did I know, I would soon take the Healer’s path. It makes me laugh thinking that I’m now the one talking about the things my friend once talked about. I know I’m the silly one now in the eyes of others, a thought that intimidates me as much as it makes me laugh.

I remind myself that it’s all part of the journey. It’s part of the unfolding.

This I learned recently: my purpose is bigger than me and it’s not all about me. Looking silly, though it hurts sometimes, is part of the journey. (I’m not completely used to it, but I’ve accepted it and I’m working on my relationship with this silliness.)

I don’t expect everyone to believe in what I do. My basic requirement is to simply be allowed (in peace) to take my chosen path.

If a person doesn’t believe in energy, chakras, past lives, and crystals—that’s okay. I have no intention to convert anyone who doesn’t. They can still live fulfilling, loving, and dignified lives without believing in these things.

But I really believe that inner work must be done if one wants to experience positive transformation.

This is why I created Soft Unfolding.

I’ve been working on @softunfolding to make positive transformations more accessible. Heal Well with Micah will still serve as a channel where I write about The Universe, God, angels, healing, energy, and wellness.

Soft Unfolding shall serve as a space where energy healing/“woo-woo” believers and unbelievers alike could pause, receive guidance, and make space for inner work.

Soft Unfolding is a platform aimed at activating positive transformations by providing thoughtful and self-reflective practices and tools. It explores concepts and methodologies inspired and supported by Science, Psychology, Art, and Nature.

Growth requires a grounded understanding of oneself. By being in-touch with who you are and your present circumstances, you’ll be able to make transformative decisions that are deeply nourishing for the multifaceted self and life you’re cultivating.

It’s a good supplement for energy healing and it’s also a general resource for those simply seeking shelter, calm, and guidance.

The Instagram page @softunfolding is now open. The website will go live on August 30, 2020.

I’ll still be here as Heal Well with Micah, but I’ll see you there too.

May life surprise you in the best ways possible. Thank you for welcoming this soft unfolding.

UPDATE: The website will go live on September 2020.
