What is Spirituality?
Until people are ready to experience an inner awareness that something exists that is completely beyond their comprehension, they may not be comfortable with the idea of Spirituality. Sometimes people may suspect that there is more going on 'behind the scenes' especially if they have had to look within themselves for answers. This usually happens when they are often going through a time when the answers they are seeking are not forthcoming from people around them. Usually a spark of inspiration or awareness is ignited and answers to questions and solutions seem to come out of nowhere. This is called 'inner awareness' and is the link with the divine source.
Sometimes spirituality is confused with religion. The difference between them is Religion focuses outside onself and Spirituality focuses inward.
Going within and allowing yourself to follow your inner guidance brings answers and many rewards. But for most people it takes patience and practice. You have to test for yourself that you can TRUST your inner guidance (sometimes known as Higher Self, Creator, God, Intuition, Goddess). It is only by doing this that you can get in touch with your inner power, wisdom, and guidance. Listen to your inner voices and allow them to lead you to a safe place of knowing. Trust enables you to release fear and anxiety and negativity. You are using your inner guidance and wisdom to show you the way and help you discover the truth and what is best for you.
We have been trained by society to believe that everyone else has the power. We have been told to love ourselves and believe in ourselves so we can get the things we want in life. But it is only by going within ourselves that we can can learn how to achieve these things. This is where our journey of self-discovery begins. You sometimes get a feeling within yourself that something or someone is just not right for you but you can't explain it. Sometimes it is more accurate than reason. This is your inner self waking up and trying to get your attention. You are becoming aware that there is more to life than what can been seen with the naked eye. But to learn to be able to let go trust takes time. Your Creator is there to show you the way and as you begin to understand, it is a good feeling to know that you are not alone..
When you tune in and listen to your inner guidance then follow it, amazing opportunities and abundance can flow into your life. Our power flows from our inner thoughts to reality in the outside world. In other words what we think we create. You may think your source of power lies in the outside world in the things that are important such as your job, home, friends, boss, money etc. But it is your personal power that achieves your dreams. You set up your own reality. By projecting your positive thoughts and goals into the outside world, what you need will come back to you. The point of your power is in the present moment. What a wonderful thing it is to realize that you can achieve all the things you want, right here and right now. It is as simple as changing your thoughts from negative to positive ones. It is important to remember and acknowledge that it is your Creator (whoever you choose) who is the source of everything in our lives. He or She wants you to share in the abundance of good on this planet. By thinking positively and believing you deserve the best, you are helping to attract the good in your life. Expect good to come to you. Say it often "I expect good to come to me" and see it happening before your eyes. All you have to do is change your thoughts and do daily affirmations to change your belief system. Sometimes you need to learn to love yourself and feel worthy as a person before doing anything else. If your mother and father did not love themselves, then there is no way they could teach you to love yourself. And it is by loving and accepting yourself that you allow the good to flow around you. Sometimes when you get stuck in the past, try to realize that negative experiences and ways of thinking have created the thinking, feeling thought patterns that you have today. But you can change things right now for the better by focusing on what it is that you need. Every time you say, 'that's too hard' or 'I don't deserve it', or 'I'm never going to achieve this', then those are negative thoughts coming from past thinking, feeling patterns. The positive affirmations are: I deserve all that is good, whatever I need comes to me, I expect all good to come to me. Believe it. By doing these positive affirmations continually you are changing your life and the people around you may feel a bit threatened because they have invested their security in how you were. Be gentle but firm with them as you need to keep your flow of positive energy going. Ask for help from your creative source to make the relationships around you easier. New people will come into your life and the things already in your life will change for the better as you grow and learn. Do your positive affirmations as often as you would a worry thought. Don't be discouraged, focus, practice as much as you can and the good will follow.
What we give out we get back. What we think about us is the truth for us.
Be thankful. Every day you wake up be thankful for all that has been given to you. Sometimes you need to go back to the basics. Thank your creator for the flowers, trees, sun, moon, job, money in your pocket, food on the table, your home, transportation, your loved ones and friends, your animals and anything else you can think of. Showing you are grateful not only makes you feel good but thanks your Creator for giving you the things you need. You share in the abundance of the universe. Give thanks as often as you can.
Don't mistake kindness for weakness!
Sometimes in today's world there seems to be nothing good about life at all. People have forgotten simple courtesies such as saying 'thank you' when you do them a kindness. Some people on our roads would rather fight others when things don't go their way. I don't know how many times I have stood by a doorway to let others go through without one words of thanks from any of them. It's almost like I am invisible at times. They may be afraid to say thanks or just can't be bothered. I keep having to tell myself that sometimes I have to do things and expect nothing in return. But it's still not easy. And it is sometimes harder to be kind when you are faced with ungrateful people. So I just do it because it is needed and the right thing to do. That is the spiritual way. Try and remember that good always follows and what you do is appreciated although sometimes you can't see it. Remember we have angels and guides watching over us and they do appreciate acts of kindness even if some human beings don't at the time. The good will return to you in ways you can't even imagine.
Many believe in a Creator of our world and the universe. It may be God, Goddess, Source of all that is or Higher Power. It doesn't really matter, just so long as we respect each other's rights to think and worship in any way we choose. These are my thoughts about the meaning of spirituality for me. Star.
