The spiritual aspect tends to be ignored as it feels more abstract and difficult to relate to than the physical. There is a strong correlation between both aspects however, as they rely on and affect each other. If we notice our physical side is lacking, it could be an important clue that we need to engage more of our spiritual side to feel better and experience joy. When we have that kind of connection within ourselves, we can nurture and soothe any of our needs and even heal ourselves. This is why we call this our inner wheel of balance for it can act as a compass to navigate why we are feeling the way we do through our experiences or in certain situations.
So, what can we do to keep this aspect healthy and what techniques can we incorporate into our everyday lives? Well, guess what is at the top of the list again? Mediation! Meditation can bring so many benefits to your life. It can provide calm, love, neutrality, healing and so much more. You can begin by taking a nature walk and hearing the wind in the trees, the animals, the birds and maybe even a river or lake. The gentle sounds of nature can allow you to focus on and truly hear your inner voice. Your inner voice will provide the answers you need. It is such a great and unique gift.
Over the years, I have cultivated this gift and have made meditation a priority. I practice meditation daily and have found that it sets me up for an amazing day of neutrality, creativity and compassion. It has also helped me to hone my skills as a practitioner and teacher. If you choose to include meditation into your life, it doesn’t mean that you have to become an enlightened yogi or monk living on a mountain in solitude. Indeed, it is merely a tool that can be applied to any important situation in your life. Have fun with this and enjoy what it brings to you.
I have listed below some tools and strategies that you can use to enhance your spiritual aspect:
- Meditation
- Ceremonial practices (this is as simple as smudging or lighting a candle)
- Blend in and learn from nature
- Find your tribe and community
- Research and learn more about what spirituality means to you
- Explore and learn about who you are as this magical character through retreats, seminars and workshops
- Become your own master and teacher
- Be of service (if this is a calling then look deeper, for there is more to learn about yourself)
- Set your Chakra seals if you know you are on a path of service in relationship to your spiritual growth (more on this another time)
- Compassion and care for your family members
- Gratitude list (include this into your mediation)
- Use your genius to hear from the conscious of all beings (how to do this another time)
This is a time of awakening and this Pandemic will teach us a greater understanding of what we are attached to, what our fears are and why we are feeling stress or anxiety. The biggest question however, is, what do I know to be true? With so many opinions bombarding us daily, how do we acknowledge what we know to be true? Even though you are the only one who can answer that question personally, nature is still the prevailing force. We should seek answers there and through books that speak of elders and their teachings for they are still close to nature and Mother Earth. They will speak of this time and about our awakening to our spirit.
