Hairstyles
Everyone’s spiritual journey is unique
Sometimes, when my spirit guide, who goes by the nickname Falcon, tells me what topic he wants me to write about, I can get a general idea of the direction he wants to go. However, when he told me today that he wanted me to write about hair, I was at a total loss. He said to just sit down and begin writing, and that he would give me the words to say, so here we go.
He’s saying that hair is a funny thing. Everyone typically has it at some point in their lives, and while some people want as much of it as possible, with growing their hair out long, others can’t wait to get rid of it through methods such as shaving.
However, if it is something we desire, it’s not something that can be forced. There are products you can use to try to increase hair growth, and there are procedures, such as implants, that can be done. However, real, natural hair growth can’t be rushed. It’s not something that everyone has the ability to do, and when it does grow, it happens slowly over time rather than all at once.
(I’ve got to be honest; stepping aside for a moment, I have no idea where Falcon is going with this analogy. Usually, I can follow them, but today, I’m at a total loss. He’s chuckling, telling me to hang in there and be patient, and he’s promising that he’s getting to the point.)

Returning to what Falcon is saying, he’s going on to add that everyone styles their hair differently. Things that may not seem like a style, such as a short buzz cut, are technically still a style. He’s pointing out that even having no hair is a style. People can try to style their hair in a similar manner, and some may try to emulate the style of others, but every person’s hairstyle is going to look completely different on them. People could wear two identical wigs, for example, but they’re going to look vastly different on each person.
He’s explaining that, while yes, things like skin tone and bone structure play a role, a lot comes down to a person’s energy signature. There’s a reason even identical twins can eventually be told apart by people who get to know them, as they carry their own unique energetic core. No two people carry the same energy signature. He’s saying that hairstyles are superfluous to our energy signatures, as they don’t influence our core ways of being. However, they can be a reflection of how we choose to present ourselves to the world.
He’s now comparing this to our spiritual journeys. Each person has their own style regarding how they approach spirituality. No two people are going to approach it exactly the same. Some people may try to emulate or follow the paths of others, but even then, their own personal journey is going to look different. Just like how our bodies determine our hair growth, our energetic core is what guides our spiritual journeys.
Stepping aside again, a problem that I told Falcon I have with this analogy is that, just like how not everyone has the ability to grow hair, it almost makes it sound like not everyone has the ability to embark on these spiritual journeys. He’s saying that no, that’s actually exactly the message he wants to get across.
He’s returning to the point that it’s all about our energetic cores. Just as our bodies determine hair growth, as he’d stated earlier, our energetic cores determine our spiritual growth. If we’re in a place where our energetic cores are unhealed, growth stops and stalls out until we address the issue. That’s why healing is paramount when it comes to our spiritual journeys.
Once we embark on these journeys, we can determine which direction we want to go. In the same way, as our hair grows, we can determine what we want to do with it. It can’t be rushed, it can’t be forced, and it grows, or develops, at its own pace. However, this doesn’t affect our energetic core, as our energetic core is the driving force behind this, in the same way our bodies determine how, or if, our hair grows.
Falcon is telling me he’s closing this topic for now, although he may return to address it again in the future. So for the time being, I hope everyone has a very happy Friday!
