Lit by the Spirit: Faith, Cannabis, and the Fire That Heals

-

        

    There's something sacred about the stillness that settles over my soul when I inhale deeply, not just breath-but intention. I light the flame, not to escape, but to engage. With myself. With the Divine. With the ache in my bones and the hope in my heart. 

    Some days, my faith is a roaring fire. Other days, it's more like the flicker of a smoldering wick-but it never goes out. And I've learned that God meets me in both.

    For me, cannabis isn't a rebellion. It's a ritual. It's a way to calm the chaos long enough to listen. To feel the Spirit whisper through the noise. It's part of how I slow down, drop in, and surrender the weight I was never meant to carry alone. 

Faith is the root.

Cannabis is the companion. 

And grace is the growth.

     We don't talk enough healing in its rawest form-the moments that feel messy, unconventional, misunderstood. But healing isn't always sterile or systematic. Sometimes, it's found in the hush of a solo session with your Bible open and your heart cracked wide.
    

    Today, I'm meditating on a verse that grounds me when the world feels too loud and my mind won't stop racing:

    "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 

        -Matthew 11:28 (NKJV)

    Whew. That verse hits different when you've been running on empty.

    This is your reminder: You don't have to look like a Pinterest-perfect Christian to be deeply loved by God. You can bring your whole, raw, healing, fiery, soft, smokey, real self to the altar.

    You are not disqualified because you choose cannabis as a tool for healing. You are not less faithful because your rituals don't look like everyone else's. Your sacred smoke can rise like incense-an offerering, a conversation, a surrender.

 Let it be holy. Let it be healing. Let it be yours. 


Soul Sparks for Today:

  • Meditate on Matthew 11:28. Read it slowly. Then again. Let it become a lullaby to your spirit.
  • Light your sacred space. Whether that's with incense, candlelight, or your favorite strain-create an intentional moment.
  • Journal this prompt: "What burdens do I need to lay down today, and how can I let God meet me in my need?"

To my husband-my soulmate-          You've stood beside me through storms and sunshine. You've held my hand when I felt like falling and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.

Designed to help people with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of self-destruction, DBT has become a life-changing tool for millions.
