Pathways to the Spirit

With all that is going on around us – the world is waking up a little bit more each day – it is often difficult to remain focused on our common goals. I wanted to comment on these times as I have been both living this, working to change things and observing things as they come about for a very long time.

Right now there are a good many people letting out a collective ‘sigh’ as it seems the earth is beginning her stretching, yawning and waking from her enforced slumber. The divine feminine being of our planet has been raising her consciousness and along with it, pulling up those of us who have willing spirits. 

So, if all around you appears to be turbulent, troublesome and as if you are being asked constantly to let go of ever more and more…..do not despair. You are being asked to let go and to make a choice.

There are many roads to the beyond, for higher knowledge and a bright future – but not all lead inwards towards your core. In order to awaken and then remain committed to the goal – each cell in our bodies must ignite. 

This time around – raising vibrational consciousness is a physical process. Of course, there is nothing more dense and toxic right now then our physical bodies. Challenging, but not impossible! 

In my own life I keep coming back to words and phrases to help myself stay the course and not give in to any negativity. I remind myself constantly that there really is nothing to be afraid of…..wonderful things are happening all over, that people are starting to change.

But, more than that, I am always looking for ‘signs’. Those phrases, words, symbols, numbers, chance meetings, coincidences and synchronicities all add up to a path well sign-posted for those who are paying attention. 

Some days it’s a single word written on a city bus noticed as it whizzes by ---- Believe. Or other times it’s a brief discussion with mothers waiting for after school activities & picking up children – nourishing the spirit. 

We have come this way before. There is a clear pathway that leads us home – when we watch the sky, touch the earth and listen to life all around us, we can hear our ancient selves beaconing....... 

How amazing is that?

You May be Awake….But Are You ALIVE? Spiritual DNA

We read a lot about awakenings these days and nearly everyone has had some form of a wake up call or other, often in a health or emotional crisis. Actually if you haven’t yet, you are probably not even reading this, but never mind.

I have talked about and written down some of my experiences on this long road to higher vibrations, frequencies and light but am only now coming around to how much none of this really even matters, if we are not alive, that is.

Of course you are probably thinking by now, that I am ‘alive’, I’m here, aren’t I? And yes you are, sort of, however, we are not fully here and certainly not enjoying any of the benefits of greater levels of awareness, if our gut is still functioning at sub-optimal levels.

But, what does digestion, immune function, gut organisms have to do with spirituality and higher states of awareness? 

Everything. Absolutely, everything.

Whenever we take medication, treated water, Nightshades, drugs, eat an excessively poor diet, remain in negative states of emotional, physical, energetic unbalance, plus other known and unknown toxins - then we are encouraging the current organisms in our guts to flourish. 

And this appears to be the source of the problem. From birth and perhaps even before, the organisms we are exposed to are increasingly non-beneficial, opportunistic and pathogenic given the chance! We are full of molds, candida, parasites and species of bacteria that offer us nothing in return.

This present generation and perhaps a couple beyond that, those who have been around since the advent and widespread use of antibiotics and medication – have dead spots, places and spaces in their systems where nothing worthwhile or beneficial lives or thrives. 

The simple facts are; Change your body and gut flora (living organisms of bacteria, yeasts, viruses etc.) and you change your DNA. The human DNA is unique in that our spiritual code is written within it like a hidden Easter Egg. 

And this is the purpose of the spiritual path really. To walk along it, making changes, learning, gaining insight, higher levels of awareness until eventually we realize – it’s all about life.

Nothing is more important to our body functions, health, weight, immune system and skin then the living organisms cohabiting with us – without them, we are here, we might be awake, but we are certainly not living and our spiritual purposes, missions and callings remain locked. 

It’s time to get a life – inside and out!

Spiritual Bullies - Wreaking Havoc with Our Spiritual DNA

It feels as if I am on a new theme here in some ways. It is obvious to me how since I finished my last cleanse – I have been working my way through more spiritual aspects of myself and trying to sort out what is mine and what is not.

One thing I do know for certain is that some of our genes are on spiritual DNA and these must be activated in order for us to reach higher states of human consciousness. I was dreaming of these things last night and it has been on my mind constantly.

So, I woke up thinking about spirituality (again!) and mulling over in my mind all the spiritual bullies I have come across over the years, how they have interfered with my own spiritual goals and who they have been in my life…and it’s not what you might think either.

I am not talking about those people who would insist on you believing in their own personal beliefs or even those who dominate the conversation with their own spiritual exploits….

No, they are still on a path and for the most part you will find very sincere people who are learning and living as best they can. The people I would refer to as bullies are far more dangerous, they are manipulative and are not in the least spiritual.

So why are they spiritual bullies you might ask?

Because they steal, rob, borrow and otherwise pilfer ‘your’ spiritual self in order to wear it as their own. If our spirituality was something like a special cloak covering our energy fields (think of shimmering, glowing, gossamer wings) – this has been taken away (bits, pieces or in it’s entirety) and is now being worn by someone else.

A person who bullies us for any reason, does so to gain something. The point of bullying is to take a piece of a person that you feel you do not have inside of yourself (such as our unique spiritual DNA). Because all things are energy, an exchange then takes place, the person being bullied carries the dark energy while the bully walks away with the light.

There are bullies in every area, all walks of life and any part of you can be bullied. Often when we are physically bullied, this carries over into energetic, spiritual, emotional and whatever else we are as humans.

Now – what to do about it? Well, for myself I moved away from one or two of the worst situations and people who were in my life many years ago. And yes, I am still dealing with the fallout, healing, fixing, clearing and taking back bits of myself that I had felt were lost….

Thankfully, energy being what it is, we can call it back from wherever we have left it, when we have cleared and created space– I refer to this as ‘Closing the Energy Leaks’. It works and has changed my life patterns where spiritual bullies are concerned.

DNA of the Healer - What Should Set You Apart

Body, Mind and Soul - This is a term we all know and it gets flashed around a lot – has been for sometime in certain circles. The holistic industry uses it quite often, mostly to get across the message that their approach is different.

In fact, it’s so different from conventional medicine that this aspect needs to be pointed out. We are not one-dimensional beings – therefore our health and healing also should follow suit and deal with the whole person.

Once upon a time – this was the only way to treat illness and wellness. Our energy systems, physical symptoms, emotional health as well as social and spiritual relationships – were all taken into account.

But, one thing has troubled me about how this most basic outlook for treatment of the person has gradually been eroded away – and in not a such a large space of time.

These days, you can be treated by an alternative practitioner who doesn’t even look in your eyes, let alone ask how some other aspects of your life are going. And they themselves are anything but healthy (not that this is a strict requirement, however….)

So what has happened? Have we borrowed from the established system in an effort to be more efficient, to simplify our work, are we too busy, distracted in our focus or is there something else taking place here?

Surely this cannot be for the better – alternative forms of healing have always been the norm and are indeed hardly alternative at all (except for some of the weird ones that have cropped up, but we won’t mention them). For centuries (longer?) they have been the backbone of the health of not only living creatures, but in having a synergistic relationship with the planet as well.

This brings us back to body, mind and soul medicine – what has been lost or shifted here is balance – and not in any place you might think. Even though we are being influenced on a daily basis by everything taking place around us and we are not living in a bubble (nor expected to), there are basic precepts to be adhered to.

The health, well-being and holistic attitude must be an all encompassing aspect of the healers’ (practitioners) life. Our focus needs to be on our own spiritual, emotional, physical, energetic (did I leave anything out?) bodies – where we are to be continuously striving for optimum health.

In some circles this would be referred to as having a higher vibrational frequency – an unknown mystical quality that sets those who are walking this path apart from those who are destined for other things.

The DNA of the healer.

And you cannot achieve a higher vibration sitting on the couch, waiting for the phone to ring – this is earned, gained, developed and nurtured through taking exquisite care of your body, mind and soul.
