About Inner Light Daily

About two years ago I woke up one morning and something felt different. Not bad, not good -- just different. Like the volume on everything had been turned up. I was freelancing from my Portland apartment and had been in a slow stretch for a few months. I could not explain what changed. I still cannot, fully.

I spent the next year trying to understand it. Meditation apps, first. Then breathwork classes I found through a local studio. A crystal shop two blocks from my apartment where I bought things I could not fully justify. Sound baths that made me cry in a room full of strangers, which was embarrassing and also genuinely something. A lot of YouTube rabbit holes at midnight. More journals than I have shelf space for.

Some of it did nothing. Some of it opened things I did not know were closed. I am a freelance illustrator -- I think in images and process things by drawing or writing them down. The practices that worked for me were the ones that gave me something to look at or something to write, not just the ones that promised transformation and delivered vague advice. I am still sorting out the difference.

This site is where I document the practice in real time. Not finished. Not polished. Honest notes from someone who went through something unexpected and is working out what it means, slowly, in public.

I am not a spiritual teacher. Not a healer, not a yoga instructor, not certified in anything. I have not done a training or retreat that authorized me to advise you on your path. I am a 29-year-old illustrator in Portland who had a strange two years and writes about it.
