“Every person is the architect of their own healing and their own destiny” -Buddha
In its simplistic expression, we are Spirit. The word Spirit comes from the Latin word spirare which means “to breathe," and like breath, the Spirit is a fundamental part of being free in life. Not just living, but feeling alive. Think of the Spirit as the deepest part of you containing the parts of your personality, your soul, and your universal existence. Spirituality is the art of getting to know ourselves without comparisons to others, judgment, and any other negative patterns causing us to distance ourselves from our emotions.
The connection to your higher self, essentially your Spirit, is the only motive. There are no rules about how you should be, how you should act, or how you should feel. Since the Spirit is free, we are free to feel, free to believe, and most importantly, free to Love. It’s truly a personal experience! As we get to know ourselves and break down the walls within, we increase awareness.
Your inner Spirit has the strength to carry you through any obstacle. The key is understanding your connection.
We are responsible for our energy! We have the power to choose to have a good day that begins with gratitude or choose to let external circumstances ruin our day. Being aware of our sensitivity to the world will work wonders for our intuition and peace of mind. We must be aware of how people and situations change our mind and emotions. Does this person make you feel more like yourself or do you feel like you need to change something to align with them?
The realest version of you is the version connected to your Spirit. Your Spirit is home. When you feel your most comfortable self without holding anything back, you are expressing the energy of your Spirit. Spirituality is living as the real you. You don't have to believe in anything, you just have to be you. Remember that the Spirit is free!
When it comes to Spirituality, there isn't a fixed set of rules or beliefs that you must either accept or reject.
What makes the spiritual experience truly beautiful is that it doesn't demand belief at all. Rather, it's about sensing, feeling, and directly experiencing the full spectrum of life. Imagine feeling the warmth of the Sun on your skin – you don't need to believe in the Sun's existence; you can feel its rays and experience its warmth directly.
Our Spirit works the same way. It communicates with us by sending feelings that align with various emotions – joy, love, unease, danger, safety, peace, and comfort. The feeling of love resonates deeply within you, so your Spirit sends sensations of comfort to help you understand what love truly feels like. These feelings act as signals, prompting you to make a choice. Do you want to invite more of this experience or less? Your Spirit sends signals if something doesn’t feel –it’s the sensation of misalignment. Your Spirit is the secret compass you didn’t have to ask for, helping you navigate through every encounter and experience.
Spirituality is learning the essence of your Spirit
While our physical and mental experiences are crucial aspects of human existence, the spiritual experience links us to the essence of Divine energy that is behind everything. This journey involves uncovering truths that resonate with your heart and Spirit. You directly sense and experience these connections through your intuition, inner wisdom, and feelings that resonate within your core.
Those moments when we feel intense emotions or stand in awe of nature's beauty, or when we encounter synchronicities that defy logical explanation – these are instances when our Spirit is communicating with us. These are the moments when we feel God is speaking through us. Through our Spirit, we're able to connect with something greater than ourselves, something that isn't confined by physical boundaries or limited by logic. It’s a connection to pure love, joy, peace, and freedom.
Spirituality connects all religions, creeds, and living things. To understand your Spirit, you just have to understand yourself. Deepen our understanding of our personal connection with God and Divine energy by getting to know you. What sets your Soul on fire? What gets you so excited that you want to cry? Explore these connections to transcend facts and figures. Listen to your heart and pay attention to your inner Self. Only then will you discover the unity that ties everything together.
