Spiritual Self in the Everyday World
Many of us wish to only do spiritual work. You might want be a healer , a life coach or even a psychic and you want do that full time. In essence, you wish to remove yourself from the majority of people to only a select few clientele. What is so wrong with walking your spiritual self through the mire of everyday life with others, who most likely aren’t as connected? Wouldn’t it benefit the Greater Good if you helped people through their day from the inside of everyday life, not the outside.
I mentor, do healing work and/or do psychic readings for people in my spiritual practice. I use my intuitive gifts to help others outside my spiritual practice as well. If you have been sent to cross my path and you’re open to keen insights, you might just walk away with a the nugget of information or advice that you were needing. This serves the Greater Good, this serves The One.
This however, is not permission to give unwanted or unsolicited advise! Ever!! To do this is to pretty much force what appears to be your opinion at someone, or at the very least waste your time and theirs.
Wouldn’t it be great if that nurse that is taking care of you in ICU gave you a little Reiki too? How about if your financial counselor asked just the right question to highlight some affairs you need to attend to. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if your cardiologist talked about body, mind and spirit and how you need to pay attention to all those things to live a healthier life. I knew a heart surgeon who would pray before he performed surgery. I know all these honorable people. They are being authentically themselves no matter where they are. They bring their gift of themselves to others without it having to be in a comfortable place. They don’t need to create a cozy space to practice Walking as their Spiritual Self.
We need spiritual people who fearlessly walk in our every day lives. It makes life better for everyone. So, the next time you want to escape the rat-race, live in your cozy space without touching chaos, ask yourself, “Who are your really serving? Who are you really helping?” If you find yourself living in your snug, easy insular world, find a way to step away from it (by all means return there for your clients) but touch the rest of those who cross your path, if it feels like the right thing to do. Remember, its never about you, its about serving them.
Are you SEEN?
I’ve been working with the belief about being invisible. When you look at one side of a coin you really should look at the other side, for a full and complete picture of yourself. We are multi-faceted beings after all. Logically, one would think the opposite of invisible is visible. What if the opposite is not visible but being SEEN. Not just glanced over and smiled at, what if its being seen down to the Truth of Who You Really Are?
That’s a whole lot deeper than the superficial visual eye someone tosses your way. This is profound in its depth of accepting your authenticity. Are you ready to see yourself fully, to recognize the positive and negative traits about yourself and are you ready to like or even love yourself regardless?
The Wisdom of one I walk with came to me on the streets Lititz, PA the other day, as I walked and smiled to someone. He said, “see, if you weren’t seen, then he (the one I smiled to and returned my smile) couldn’t be seen either.” And the proverbial light-bulb went off. I was walking with the joy of life and a warm heart. That energy just flowed, and this other person just responded to it because he too had it. And if he wasn’t feeling it himself at that moment, then touching him with just a smile and my inner warmth brought it forward for him.
There’s a time and place for invisible, and even visible, but for me, I am embracing being seen. This means I have to acknowledge, own and be accountable for all of myself, because what is SEEN impacts all I touch in my life.
Don’t pass through life being only visible/invisible. Be SEEN, share your Light, spread joy and see how your life turns around because of it.
Sabotaging your own spiritual evolution
I have to admit, I love those ah-ha moments I get. Those moments of clarity that just blow open your world. I was thinking about a dear friend. Her boss is jealous of her knowledge base, it makes her feel inferior, and because of this, my friend struggles at work.
I was thinking about how the boss, was not opening herself up to support or not dealing with her own “I’m not good enough”. By comments she has made at her job, she feels or perhaps knows that her time is limited there, yet the need to not change is destroying her her life. This is when I heard the Great Tree say, “She has forgotten her purpose here” followed by “Every judgement against another is a nail in the coffin of your own spiritual evolution”.
Wow! Maybe I better look at my own life and the many judgements I can and unfortunately do make on others, rather than worry about my friend and her boss. It’s not as if I can do anything about that.
Ever notice that when you really decide to knuckle down and start paying attention the evidence of your actions just flies into your periphery as well as dead center. These are opportunities of growth. These are the places within that you can shift and move on. Not just dwell on hurts, but really move past them and into the fullness of who you really are.
Stop blaming others for what they done to you (real or imagined) and start looking at where your blame is really directed at yourself. Ultimately, it really does come down to loving yourself just as you are, flaws included and then being compassionate enough to learn your lessons and make real life changes. It’s great to recognize those places you wish to change, but you have to make the steps to do so.
Here’s what I’m choosing to do. I choose to not judge others (to the best of my ability that it, I’m far from perfect), until I can learn to not judge myself. And that’s the catch! When I stop judging me, I won’t feel the need to judge others.

When turbulence and chaos gets a foothold
“Turbulence and chaos has once again taken a foothold upon this world. How do you respond? Do you wait until it sits upon your doorstep or do you take control of your life without expecting others to pick up the pieces for you? This might sound rather harsh depending on where you stand in this one moment in time. But that is exactly what you must remember. It is this one moment in time in which you have a choice. You’ve always had a choice. If things seem unbearable turn back to The One, call upon friends to help support, but not to be all your support. Have your time period to vent, to cry, to grieve; this is important. To deny ones feelings is not healthy; to live in them without taking steps to move forward is devastating and detrimental to you and all life around you. If you need counseling, seek it. If you need to reach out to your crisis center do so. Just do something, take action. Take the time to process your emotions for that too is sacred, and then take the steps to move forward. This is healthy for you and a healthy life example for your children to live by.
Chaos beyond the home front is hammering at this world. What needs to be remembered is that if you only think of devastation as outside your sphere, meaning it does not touch you or yours, then you have missed the biggest lesson that life gives you. Just like that smile you gift upon another that touches another, and then another as it is passed along, so are your actions and inactions. This is not the time to say, ‘This isn’t my problem’ or ‘Those poor people.’ This is the time to do something that takes action. Prayer is good, but without action you are placing everything on God. God asks you to grow, you to take care of one another. He asks of you what you ask of Him. “
It can seem overwhelming when bombs are going off or someone you know loses a child. What can I do? The first thing you can do is not turn away. How hard is that? If your heart is open, most likely this isn’t that difficult, unless you’re an empath and that is a whole other story. Active listening without giving advice is a great gift that is frequently not given. I’ve heard from many people battling cancer that which hurts them most is that people didn’t know what to say, so they stopped visiting and/or talking with them. Death, in no matter what form you’re touched, is difficult and there is no one among us who will not be touched by it. What you do matters. It matters so much, you may not even be aware of its depth and impact. Even if you don’t know, understand it’s probably more than you realize and come from that perspective.
So first listen. If you don’t know what to do after that, gather your like-minded friends and brainstorm some ideas. Community is also key.
