Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Harriot, a passionate twenty-something year old woman who has embarked on a fascinating journey of merging my two antithetical worlds – law and spirituality. Join me as I navigate the early stages of my career and explore the depths of self-discovery.

In a society that often glorifies hustle culture and thrives on high-stress environments, I have found solace in my spiritual and yoga practice. To prevent succumbing to stress, I have embarked on a transformative journey, igniting the flame within and nourishing my spiritual well-being.

My practice has become a wellspring of wisdom, seamlessly translating into my professional life. Mindfulness, in particular, has sharpened my focus, allowing me to approach legal challenges with clarity and composure. I have learned to breathe (pranayama) through difficult situations, cultivate resilience, and adapt when faced with the complexities of my work.

Moreover, my practice has taught me the importance of listening to my body and prioritising self-care, which are both crucial for maintaining a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle. Whether it’s through a calming meditation, a tarot spread, or just a few mindful moments of deep breathing, my practice helps me release tension, quiet my mind, and create space for personal growth.

However, like all things that require practice, my spirituality is not always maintained. I hope in this blog to be honest about my self-neglect and renewal of my commitment to self-care. This is the spiritual adulting that I am experiencing in my twenties – the cycle of balancing regular mental maintenance against my self-destructive patterns. Spiritual adulting “means to continue to remain focused and maintain progress once achieved. In other words, to keep it going because it is important to our personal development and core integrity.”

Falling Backwards is known as “anavasthitatva.”

Through this blog, I aim to share the experiences, insights, and discoveries that have shaped my journey. Together, we will delve into topics such as incorporating mindfulness practices into a busy legal career, mastering the art of work-life balance, and finding ways to infuse moments of tranquility into our daily routines. Together we will uncover practical tips, discuss inspiring stories, and learn from experts who, like us, are striving to find balance between their spiritual and work lives.

Whether you are a fellow legal professional, a yoga enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply someone yearning for a more balanced lifestyle, I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with me. Let’s create a supportive community where we can empower one another to find our own unique paths towards harmony.

With gratitude

Harriot
