I have to go with localhippy for this one. I started feeling different after I started using pot more than just occasionally. But before that, I still claimed hippiedom.
Star Wars movies led to alot of it, I hate to say (I used to want to be a Jedi when I grew up, but I never grew up)...that led to martial arts, which led to meditation, which led to a greater self awareness
Ive always wanted to try meditation. But never got around to it. Plus I cant find a place thats quite.
Many things, changes in my life, seeking peace within and around me. But I think that I truly found my inner self two years after when I was so close to dying the day after I gave birth to my twin babies. It really changed my outlook, my attitude towards things.
