Finding Clarity July 25, 2009
Posted by admin in : Spiritual Growth , trackbackIn order for abundance to flow, the body must be a clear, open, and receptive channel. Just as large boulders or rocks change the course of water flowing downstream, physical, emotional and mental barriers can alter the flow of energy in the human body.
Ever since I began the journey of self-discovery, I seemed to put most of my energy towards emotional and mental well being…cleaning out emotional clutter…letting go of old karmic patterns…dealing with childhood issues…you name it. As I peeled away layers of the onion, I received new insights, a more keen sense of awareness, and I got more in touch with my true essential nature. When I let go of the dark shadows, I began to shift in to a more peaceful state…feeling radiant and full of life. There was a sense of joy that filled my entire being and love emanated out from the core. I found more compassion and forgiveness for myself and others and I wasn’t so quick to judge.
The journey also brought a sense of mental clarity, as I began to work on mindfulness and things that once irritated me or left me feeling short and impatient, no longer affected me. I was able to tolerate a lot more ignorance and had a better understanding of how life worked and why people behaved in the manner they did. The world opened up to me and I became more in tune with the flow of life instead of paddling up stream.
The only problem was my ego was threatened by the spiritual growth so it tried to protect itself by rooting itself in human suffering, as the ego has a magical way of finding weakness to bring a spirit down and it’s typically through some kind of addiction since everyone has one. The spirit gets clouded under the vice of bad habits and suddenly the mind and emotions take over and you find yourself lost all over again. Instead of positive energy flowing through you, a dark cloud forms overhead and you’re unable to see the light because the physical body becomes blocked and it takes an extreme amount of will to see past it.
It’s easy to get stuck…to fall prey to old patterns…to lose your sense of self. It happens to all of us. One day we feel joy and the next despair. Often you don’t even know when it’s happening. You just wake up one day and realize you’re not totally happy with either your job or your relationship or life in general. I always know when it’s time for a little spring cleaning because my mind gets cloudy and I can’t see clearly.
The best way to get clarity on something is to detoxify the body of impurities and get rid of the noise in your life. This may mean taking a reprieve from the television or internet, not drinking alcohol, meditating, doing more yoga, setting yourself free from the daily ritual of caffeine, or taking a break from whatever other bad habits that might keep you from being centered and whole.
This is by no means easy, but a little spiritual nurturing will get you back in touch with what really matters. You will regain control of your life. You will feel centered and alive and whole again. The energy will begin to flow and your life will blossom, as you realign yourself with what really matters. As you feel more balanced, you will gain mental clarity and will be able to hear the soft whispers of your loving higher self.
