Seasonal Spiritual Cleaning
Summer is now fast approaching and I know it’s time to get my rubber gloves, dusting cloths and all purpose cleaner out for another good ‘spring cleaning.’ A few weeks back I had to do the whole deep cleaning thing around our cottage, as we opened it up for the summer season. And it wasn’t that long ago that I found myself doing a proper spring cleaning around my house. I actually like to do a ‘spring cleaning’ every few months, usually with the changing of every season.
During the spring cleaning at the house, I was moving furniture, dusting, vacuuming up dust bunnies that were embarrassingly bulky, and clearing out cobwebs from spots on the ceiling. And that was just the living room! My cottage had been closed up all winter, so I understood the layers of undisturbed dust there, but I couldn’t believe that it had only been a few months since my last deep clean at the house, yet somehow it now seemed to be covered with dust, dirt and cobwebs! Worse yet, I hadn’t even really noticed how awful it really was.
Holding On To A Broken Relationship
Are you waiting for him to return to you? Has your break-up stopped you from living your life? Have you decided that no matter what anyone has said to you, that you know that he is coming back to you? Holding on to a broken relationship is a common occurrence in many people’s lives. One person moves on, another does not.
When confronted with this dilemma, you may believe he will be back. I know him; he can’t function without me. He needs me. He knows we are spiritually connected. However, this is often not the truth of the situation. It is simply your ego egging you on to believe what you want to believe.
I usually ask people to go into their ‘gut’ and take the heart out of it. But still I will get, “My gut says he will be back.” This is ego, because the response is so quick and without breathing in and allowing your guides to give you the proper answer.
How To Choose Your Path
Think about all the choices you make every day. Do you cut that person off in traffic? Who do you vote for? Do you stay faithful to your partner or spouse? We all make many decisions every day that affect our lives and the people around us.
It is recommended we take time to wrestle with our decisions and make the right decision. When we are grounded and in alignment with our true self, it is not as difficult as it may seem. It is always more difficult when we take the path that the rest of the world seems to preach or dictate. The tendency is to take the easy path; the simple path; the selfish path. And once we do, we then wish we had taken a different path – a path less travelled. Hindsight is too often 20/20.
Beyond Boundaries
Your evolution and growth never stops. Certain skills need to be learned and practiced. Then, as your energy shifts and changes more rapidly, more profoundly and with greater consciousness, if you have a spiritual practice, you are able to change your skills, enhance them, and learn to handle and use new skills.
Earth plane changes in skills typically start with cognition – left brain learning of new ideas, theories, or skills. This is true in mainstream therapies as well. After you learn an idea, you practice it, and then learn to handle what happens when you use these new ideas, concepts or skills. You learn to handle the energy of your implemented changes. Life does this too. You get a divorce, your spouse cheats, you are fired. This changes your energy, and then you have insights – a rough way to go.
The Purpose Of The Ego: A Wave In The Sea
Who are you? You are a wave. The very sound of rhythm—the very essence of sound. You are the first line drawn on the wall of the first cave. What do I mean? Your portrait, is what I mean. When you look into the mirror, do you see yourself or someone else? When you hear others talking, is it your voice or theirs? Is your voice your own?
These are the questions waves must ask. But what is a wave? A wave is a single expression of the collective vibration—a wave is a gathering of energy corresponding within the context of a rhythm. A wave is a beautiful motion, an elegant stroke—emerging from the fluid totality of all beingness, expressing for a brief moment the collective sound from its origin, before returning to it again. A wave is the telling and the trajectory of the soul. A wave is the shadow steeping out of the dark, and then being consumed back into it. This is you. How beautiful you are.
Live Your Vision
One of the key components of manifesting is believing you can achieve it, for without belief you have nothing but a wish. As you believe, so too shall you create. Live your vision. You may ask what does that mean? You have many desires and many wants swirling around in your mind. What exactly does it mean to live your vision?
We say to you, living your vision is a process. The first step in that process is becoming aligned with the energy of your vision. If you have created a vision, and every time you think about it, it makes you uneasy, or fearful, or afraid, because you do not know how this will happen… these are all signs that you have not aligned with the energy of your vision.
The energy of your vision is one of perfection, for you could not create in the highest order something that is not of perfection. So, let go of any belief systems or thoughts that you may not get it right, that you may be doing something wrong, that you are not deserving of goodness in your life.
The Power Of Mindful Meditation
You may have heard how great meditation is, but if you don’t try it you’ll never know. Meditation helps us receive intuitive guidance. It puts one in a state where your mind is relaxed and less distracted. It also opens us up to a higher energy source to recharge ourselves. A daily meditation practice of just a few minutes will replenish your mind, body, and spirit.
Few people take the time out of their crazy days to enjoy the pleasures of relaxing meditation. Meditation can reduce stress and anxiety improving your daily life, and as a result improve your health and general well-being.
Meditation can further help you attune your energy to allow spiritual guidance that can help direct you in your daily life. This will assist you with making the right decisions to moving forward in your life.
