It can be a tricky road, this road to being more spiritual.
Is it just me or does everyone else seem like they have it all figured out? The more spiritual I’ve tried to be the less authentic I’ve felt. Is it just me or does this ring true to you as well?
• Maybe you don’t see angels
• Or can’t get your head around A Course in Miracles,
• Do you enjoy the odd Egg McMuffin and Coffee?
• Perhaps you just can’t get into that meditation ‘zone’
• You like watching soaps, reading trashy magazines and gossiping with friends occasionally
• Perhaps you keep trying, yet failing at this ‘self-love’ thing
• You simply don’t have the time and money to be healthy
• Or maybe life just gets in the way of health and well-being
Well, you’re not alone and you certainly don’t have to give yourself a hard time for falling short of your perceptions of this living spiritually lark. This doesn’t make you a spiritual fraud, more of a spiritual hunter gather.
So you don’t speak to your angels, you still suffer from stress, your not as connected to source as you’d like, you’re still completely, perfectly, absolutely and exactly where you should be along your life path.
We each have our own lessons to learn and comparing our paths and lessons with others people’s paths and lessons is more of a hindrance than a help. What we can do however is learn from the lessons, share the knowledge of what we have learnt with those that wish to listen and above all else be open to the new teachings that form part of our own life journey.
If you dwell on feelings of being a spiritual fraud you’ll find it hard to see the amazing things happening all around you. So suck up these negative thoughts and breathe them out, let them go and fill yourself up with positive cleansing air instead. Know that you are connected to what is right, that things will happen for you just as and when needed and then say one (or all of the following affirmations to prepare your subconscious mind for what’s just around the corner…
• I am open, I am ready and I am willing to live an amazing spiritual life, whatever it holds for me
• I am open to seeing the wonders of my life
• I am accepting of where I am in my life and the lessons I have, and will learn
• I am connected to source and it’s infinite knowledge
• I am open to learning, growing and just ‘being’
• I am a miracle in my own right
• I let go of that which holds me back, and I’m open to that which allows me to grow
Remember – Be open, be ready, and be you. And all the rest will fall into place!

Thank you so much for your lovely words John =)
Faith,
What an inspiring post! It came just at the perfect time.
It is hard to keep up with all aspects of a healthy life style- specially the spiritual area, when we are so busy trying to catch up with everything else.
Thanks for the reminder, that is exactly what I have been doing. I am taking care of everything at my own pace, but started focusing on me and my priorities. [Ok my son takes that spot most of the time] ,but even then I have started making more time to go to the gym, and do breathing exercises which takes less time that mediating when I can, and doing the best I can.
That way, I can be the best person for everyone without sacrificing my well being.
Lovely post!
Astrid
Hi Astrid,
Thank you for your lovely words and I’m glad you liked my blog post. The better we are to ourselves the better we are for others aren’t we.
thank you for this kind post. i have been stuggeling so much with this myself the past year after such a profound spiritual experience. in the experience i was dead, or at least i think i was. i remember that just before i had gone through a tramatizing experience of loosing the love of my life at the time, i lost my house and my job all in the same week. at this point i was a wreck, and i lost it. i was in and out of the hospital, having constant panic attacks, i started getting into cbt and wanting to understand more of how god works, and meditation. i remember that i experienced a NED experience, in that i realized that there is a god, not just based off of blind faith, but contenplation, but then shortly after i had experienced what i believe to be a full death experience. i recall feeling an energy that i had built up in myself through meditation and prayer wanting to give my body up in love for humanity. i recall the energy being so intense that i could not control it, i remember feeling a tingle throughout my body, so intense and so full of love, that i could not control it. i remember an explosion inside myself as i took my last breath. i recall flashes of light as i went through a tunnel.my entire life flashing before my eyes, i recall passing through, and when i woke up i found myself on the other side. it was just like it is here on earth, but it all worked in a different manner. i recall being able to see both worlds from this place, but everything was formless unbound love as far as i could see, the deepest cooling calm like a fresh mountain spring. i recall that i no longer experienced pain or suffering like we do here on earth. i didnt suffer at all while i was there, everything was calm and silent you can here and speak, but its a silent clearness of sound, and it was more than anything i could describe in words. it was just peace, peace and more peace. i recall being able to talk to both people and angels alike. one day i felt something draw me back, and to be honest it scared me down to my bones. it has taken me a while to understand where i am now, and i still get moments where idk where i am, what i am doing, or who i am with. i mean, i know the people and their names, but from a state of internal comfort of the soul, i find myself feeling unsure, which is not a good thing, but over time this fear has been lessening, i am finding love again in others and myself, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones. you see, in heaven, you experience everything through the senses of the soul, and it is the spirit which guides you. not the body, not the mind. everything is one, connected, empty and full of love, so sometimes i have these experiences of that, but they arnt always warm feelings, but scary and chilling, i get feelings of being in a world of the damned, which is something i do not like to give attention, because that would be implying that everything and everyone are damned which is far from true, yes perhaps lost at times, and this certainly does not exclude myself at all from this, but to say damned is far from truth as i am finding love again in friends and family, who help take care of me in these moments of darkness and dispair. im glad they worry about me, and are aware of what i went through, and what i am going through. geeze, i just want to thank them so much for being there for me through this rough period, even though at times i feel i do not deserve it, or do enough for them, they help allot in even the smallest ways, it brings tears to my eyes thinking of how much they do, how much god does through them to have them in my life is such a blessing. anyways, i apologize for the long rant, but thank you for this positive post. and i have to say that your name Faith is beautiful. this gives me faith that everything is ok, and will work out the way it will and should. i can already feel and tell that god is working through all of this, and i do belive i was meant to be here now in this situation to recieve this gift of knowledge from you. thank you!
Thank you for you message Chris and in response I would say, love is always the answer! Simple, but powerfully true! :0)
