Entering Awareness
Entering into our own spirituality is a private journey. Each of us will be drawn to a different gateway to begin on our personal path to awakening to a greater experience of ourselves. Even though we may be taught certain philosophies or beliefs as children, we still need to find our own way of understanding and applying them in our lives.
For those who are raised without a spiritual framework, they may not even know their process as a form of spirituality. But at some stage in their lives, whether in youth or adulthood, they are likely to recognize the resonance of their beliefs, the ring of truth in their philosophy, and their dedication to their chosen purpose.
Our inner guidance will lead us, so that we will be drawn to the right doorway for us--a doorway that only we can recognize by the way it makes us feel inside. It could be a picture of an angel or the gift of a crystal. We may meet someone special who shares their experiences with us in a way that we find intriguing.
While visiting the home of an admired friend, we may notice a book or statue of a diety, and ask why they chose those tools. Or a word or phrase may catch our attention in a song, or a lecture.
For some they may find their way by walking through the experience of illness before they begin the search for what will help them to truly heal, while others may seek physical improvement and stumble across yoga or meditation--only to find that it leads them to an unexpected place beyond the body.
As we awaken to ourselves and to life, we will become more attuned to what is right for us. The universe speaks to all of us through infinite channels, but we each have our own frequency.
Others may share what worked for them, but only we can decide what truly makes us feel inspired, awakened, connected, fully conscious, aware and alive.
Whatever our path, it is perfect and is meant especially for us.
What do you think?
YES, THE PATH TO OUR INNER HEALING AND SPIRITUAL GATEWAY CAN BE FOUND THROUGH VARIOUS CHANNELS SUCH AS YOGA, PRAYER, MEDITATION, BIBLE READING, A LONG WALK TO LOOK AT GREAT SCENERY,
ReplyDeleteREADING, A SPECIAL SONG OR JUST A PHRASE. WHAT WORKS FOR ME ARE A LOT OF THINGS SUCH AS DEVOTION JOURNALS, QUOTATIONS, BOOKS ON GRACE, MOTIVATIONAL READINGS, GOING TO A THRIFT STORE AND PICKING UP AN ITEM RELATED TO TEACHING, OR A NEW SPIRITUAL BOOK, ANYTHING THAT MAKES ME KEENLY AWARE OF MY INNER GUIDANCE AND SPIRITUAL AWARENESS. I KNOW IN MY INNER SOUL WHAT WORKS FOR ME TO CONTINUE ON TO HELP ME HEAL FROM ANY PAST HURTS AND PAIN. GOD HELPS ME EVERYDAY TO TRY NOT TO LOOK BACK.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR THIS WONDERFUL, INSPIRING MESSAGE. I MISSED YOUR SUNDAYS LAST TIME. HOW CAN I FIND IT?
Thanks for sharing this Daily OM. It touches on the very essence of spirituality. Our spiritual paths can take us far beyond the spiritual teachings we may have received. When I started looking beyond my Baptist upbringing and began discovering my own spiritual path life took on a new meaning for me. Truly our spiritual paths are individual pathways to experiencing our core selves (our souls).
