Spiritual Awareness In A Time Of Isolation

Many of us are currently experiencing varying levels of real isolation and solitude – some for the first time ever. This can be a blessing in disguise, as it affords us the opportunity to ‘clean house’ physically, mentally, emotionally, and also spiritually. So, if you’re by yourself right now, there are some easy, productive ways to raise your levels of spiritual awareness.

Meditation is one of the oldest and most universal methods to connect to the spirit realms and become more aware of oneself. When we meditate, our vibrations and levels of energy will increase, and our consciousness is raised. You may also want to try creative visualization, affirmations, mantras, or physical activities, such as Yoga or Tai Chi.

Getting to know your spirit guides is something you may have never done before, and now is the ideal time to do so. These spiritual beings are always by our side, willing to hel and be of service. Ask them who they are and what they can do for you. Trust in their presence and their intentions.

You can also work on opening the third eye and developing your psychic attunement. During your meditations, imagine the spot between your eyebrows opening wide and increasing your levels of sight and clairvoyance.

And how about experimenting with psychometry, the art of reading an object’s energy? It’s especially helpful if you want to communicate with someone who has passed away. If you have something belonging to a late grandparent or another loved one, such as a piece of jewelry or item of clothing, hold the item and focus on what it tells you.

To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions ~ Deepak Chopra

Make an effort to spend some time outside and connect with nature. This is is an excellent avenue for spiritual growth. A simple walk in the park, or even your own backyard, can be full of beauty and wonders you never knew existed. Notice the patterns on a butterfly’s wings, or the geometric designs of a simple flower or plant. Hug a tree. Walk barefoot on the grass.

If you’re stuck inside and cannot venture out, at least look out the window or spend some time on your balcony with your plants. You can even take virtual tours of nature locations around the world using Google Maps or other online applications.

Creative journaling is also a great option to spend some quality time by yourself. Write down free-form what spontaneously comes to mind. Chronicle your dreams. Draw, Write poetry. Ask your spirit guides for guidance as you journal, and jot down whatever is on your mind. There is no right or wrong way to express yourself in your journal.

The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone—that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born ~ Nikola Tesla

It’s true that some of us may continue to be isolated for longer than we’d hoped. Instead of imagining it as a time of frustration and hopelessness, use this time instead to become more spiritually aware. You are never alone. Your spirit guides are always with you, and there are many others who are in the same situation as yourself.

If we all took this time, not just to clean out the closets and pantries, but to venture within and become better versions of ourselves, imagine how bright the world might be when this time of isolation finally ends, and we are able to connect once more.
