One of the most important things that you can do is learn to love and accept yourself in every moment. No one is perfect; see yourself as an imperfect human being who is wanting to live a conscious life. It is not easy to live a conscious life. We are all flawed in some way (but only according to our preconceived notions, our conditioning, our own personal judgements that really hold no weight in the spiritual realms) … we are all also exquisitely beautiful in that same perceived state of imperfection. When you are challenged to see the beauty in yourself, in your life, ask to see a reflection of your beauty because it is there. Ask someone else that you trust what they like about you…then your beauty will be reflected back to you. Taking the focus off of yourself can also help. If you are in the company of others and are feeling insecure or small in any way, ask yourself, ‘How can I best express my beauty in this present moment?’ Set the intention to connect with the inner radiance that is truly you. Then watch what happens… your demeanor starts to soften and you become a light in the world…you become a sparkly light and begin to radiate something that is deep within you… your connection to consciousness. That connection to consciousness is always available to you but sometimes your mind/ego will keep you locked on to a particular problem you are experiencing in your daily life or maybe you are feeling insecure about yourself in some way… not realizing that spirit is so much more powerful than any problem you could ever have. Just bring yourself back to ‘How can I be light in this moment? How can I connect to conciousness in this moment? Take the focus off of you and your ego and put it onto being a light in the world. The world can definitely use more light. This is being mindful to the moment and this mindfulness is available to everyone…stop, pause, bring your attention inward, feel the connection to a greater power inside of you…it is there, it has always been there, you just needed to pause power,and be aware of it…you can be a light in the world…see that as more important than any job you could do, any position that you could be appointed to, any financial status that would separate you from others…light knows no boundaries, no comparisons, no sense of being separate, no shame and light attracts light…more reason to be your sparkly self…
The Spiritual Side of Healing
So when you have this ego shattering experience and feel like you have hit rock bottom, what do you do? You don’t really do anything. Rather you remain open…open to spirit…open to whatever information wants to come forward to you… I spent two years after I was diagnosed with MS in contemplation. This meant I did not do anything. I got quiet within myself. I walked a lot without any companions. I spent time in reflection. I spent time alone with my spirit trying to make sense of my circumstances…That is all I did… I wanted help and I asked for help from the spiritual realms… I probed the interior of my being; I wanted to make sense of the diagnosis and know why it had shown up in my life. I looked over my life and pondered the path I had taken in depth… I evaluated my level of happiness and how it had varied at different points all along my life path and wondered why that was… I looked at key decisions that I had made along the way. I then probed a little deeper… looking for the reasons behind the decisions that I had made. I looked at forks in the road, relationships I had entered into, matters of significance, triumphs, failures, choices I had made, errors in judgement, personal setbacks, regrets, blessings, opportunities, loves lost and loves gained. I looked at the simple tableau that I had written now seemingly enshrouded in darkness…
By the end of the two year span, I began to see little pockets of light illuminating small pieces of the tableau. I began to have some small insights as to why this illness had made its presence known in my life. It was a gift and it was meant to wake me up. These ego shattering experiences are always a gift even though you may not see it that way for quite some time…First you have to deal with the shattered pieces and there is often a significant amount of grief involved regarding these pieces. You are like a plate that has been shattered and your objective is to now painstakingly piece the plate back together. However it takes time to reassemble the plate and now that you have been shattered you will never be the same plate from this day forward…Any ego shattering experience that shows up is without a doubt meant to connect you with your awareness – nothing more, nothing less – but connecting you to your awareness is the first step needed before you begin to reassemble the plate that now represents your life in this very moment…you need time to process this event thus the need for reflection and contemplation…
The Spiritual Side of Healing- Part One
I will talk more about the physical side of healing in future posts as I feel most people resonate with that side of healing and are wanting to make more changes pertaining to their physical health. However, I am most excited to discuss the spiritual side of healing with you because this is the world that I really get and love. The spiritual side is the nitty gritty of healing. It is when you come face to face with yourself and your life and that can pose difficulty for most if not all of the human race. It is when you lie naked against the transparent backdrop of your life and begin to see things as they really are. It is cutting out the crap and agreeing to face the music. This is not easy folks! It is scary and hard to face the music which is the particular tune that you are playing in this life. But by not facing yourself and your music you leave a lot of stones unturned. The more stones unturned the less transformative is the healing. The spiritual side of healing is where the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow lies; agreeing to look at this aspect of yourself can lead to the most insights, the most profound healings and the most peace and understanding that you will ever know. If you have never had a longing to know yourself better or have never had a desire to know who or what God or a spiritual connection is then this side of healing is not for you now. But there will be a time, likely when you are challenged by some unforeseen circumstance in your life, perhaps an ego shattering experience like the death of someone you love, the diagnosis of a serious illness in yourself or another, losing your job or filing for bankruptcy, a divorce that you never saw coming, a horrendous accident….this incident will act as a catalyst and you will be driven to seek out the spiritual side of healing. You will be greatly comforted by it when there is nothing left you can do, there is nowhere else you can go, and there is no one that can really understand what you are going through; you have officially hit rock bottom and you will have nowhere else to turn but to spirit. You are never alone and there is always a spiritual connection around you; you just have to be open to it. You have to ask for help from the spiritual realms and trust me> you will receive help…the help might come in an unexpected phone call that you receive, a commercial on your television, a conversation that you are having with a friend, a song you hear on the radio, a sentence you read in your newspaper… the mystery lies in the method of delivery but this connection to spirit becomes your lifeline>>> the message is for you and it is from the spiritual realms – you will know this when it happens to you and it is the beginning of your connection to the spiritual world…your life has now officially changed…for the better…
