The Spirit Rituals Of Life – Part 2

I had just finished making the bonfire for the evening. The sun was setting and I had had a good day walking in the woods on what looked like a well-worn path. I was contemplating the day and reflecting on some things that came to me.

I was not remembering what my ancestor had said about an angel coming to visit me. I had just let it go, and felt if it was meant to be it would happen in the right timing. I was not going to obsess over it. I just wished to enjoy each precious moment and was looking forward to deep meditation after the sun when down.

When I went into meditation, I did as I normally do, connecting with the earth and doing my visualizations. In my mind’s eye my feet began to grow roots to the middle of the earth, and I was filling up with earth energy and light. I meditated for what seemed like an hour. Upon coming out of the deep meditation, I was feeling warmth, from the fire… but also from something else.

I looked straight ahead and on all sides of me was pure white light. It was the whitest light I have ever seen. It was so white that I think there had to be a different name for it. It evoked a serene feeling that was beyond anything I had ever experienced. The best way to describe this light was that it was that of a very powerful angel.

The angel was very tall, with huge wings. They were enveloping me while they stretched out what seemed to be very wide. It felt so healing and comforting.

Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do ~ Sean Covey

Then I heard a voice come over me, and the voice said to me, “This is good for your spirit.” There was a such an intense love inside and all around me. It was all-encompassing and it felt, heavenly! I thought to myself this must be what Heaven feelings like. This truly was the most blissful I have ever felt in all of my life.

In my thoughts I asked, “How can I achieve this heavenly feeling every day?” I got a very definitive answer. “You can come close to this, but not quit as intense, by making changes to your daily patterns,” said the angel.

“Please help me to understand,” I then asked. I immediately received a lot of information. It was information that I was only later able, after reflecting on it, to formulate into words, so that I could put it on paper. I am sharing this with you below and hope that it will provide insight into your life on how to achieve spiritual happiness, joy and contentment in your body, mind and spirit.

The angel told me that my daily rituals and habits need to be good for my Spirit at all times. Everything is energy, from the food we eat to the people we spend time with. Just like it is hard to stop eating certain foods, because we feel they taste good, they may not be as good for us as they seem. If we consume them, it can create dis-ease in our bodies. So, think wisely about what you put into your body.

The same goes for those who share space with. It’s like a ritual we agree to share space many times with those who are not good for us. We may love them because of shared history, but they are constantly draining us. They make us feel sick. Just like the food we eat, we need to be mindful of those we continually allow ourselves to share space with.

You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, ‘I release the need for this in my life’ ~ Wayne Dyer

Think of it as a spiritual ritual. The angel showed me the world in a spiritual sense, and said that this has to be rituals we do every day that are good for our spirit. We have to be diligent to keep those spirit rituals.

We also need to have a sit down and have an honest talk with ourselves. Is this good for me? Is this person someone I can love, but don’t have to live with, because they are slowly destroying me.

Negativity is very damaging to the spirit. Stress is very damaging to the spirit. Guilt is very damaging to the spirit. We must do things that life up our souls, raise our vibration. We must look at everything as energy and use our intuition, or our internal GPS, to guide us to our own path of truth and light.

We tend to get into a rut by believing we must go through the same paces every day, because of the way we have molded our lives. We can change things up, to help us have more positive energy.

Take a deep long look at everything. Everything you do every day. Decide what you need to let go. Just like cleaning out your closet. We may truly believe we love something, because it has been with us for so long, but that item is really just doing nothing more than weighting us down. The hardest part is freeing that item to be of better use to someone else. That goes for people to.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine ~ John C. Maxwell

We are all walking magnets. We connect or bounce off of those around us. We sometimes need to let certain people go. Someone that is weighting you down energetically, spiritually, mentally, physically, could possibly uplift someone else.

If we feel like we are going with the grain, or rather if it feels good, then do more of that good stuff! If it feels like your going against the grain, try and change that, and let go of that. Your life will then become more balanced and in alignment energetically. Your Spirit will then soar and it will come through in your energy level and your eyes. The eyes are the windows of the soul. One can always tell if someone is spiritually connected or disconnected.

Doing more of the good things, that make us thrive, making the necessary changes, and continuing to do more of the good thing, is what our spirit needs. We need good, healing spirit rituals in our life. It is how we grow and get closer to Source.

To be spiritually aware we must do rituals that are good for the spirit. Then everything falls into place. You may be thinking, “Well, when you have a lot of pain, it is not that easy…” But it is still possible to get there and I will address that in Part 3 of this blog post.
