The Spiritual Race

I opened my email this morning and got flodded with a lot of email. Nothing unusual there really but one thing hit me right there and then:

While I still get a lot of advertising for products, more and more there are emails about personal development, spiritual retreats and offerings of online healing journeys.

I almost feel haunted by the information and I also feel that there seems to be an urgency as if we do not evolve we are losing a race .... AGAIN!

Instantly I am reminded of the world we want to leave behind, the world that tied us down, the world where we felt we have lost our personal freedom. Of course, I know that there are some mighty differences between the providers of such information but the overall suggestion is once again ... the same, be in it or loose it, be left behind.

What if, what if, the real truth lies in being you (and I know just repeated what can be read so often) ... being you ... finding yourself ... it all appears that you have to do something in order to get somewhere.

What if ALL IS HERE RIGHT NOW. There is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve but all to enjoyed and mostly yourself, no matter, how your personality traits are right in this moment. You are what you are ... and I AM THAT I AM. Total and complete acceptance of you, as you are, right now. No more feeding from the outside necessary as it all is fed from the inside. Knowing and trusting your own self, unconditionally.

Can you be so bold?

All is well in all of Creation

Four Simple Recipes for a Happier Life

Welcome .... there is no coincidence that you have chosen to read this little inspirational article.

The simple reason that we are alive is that we all have some things to resolve in our lifes. So we encounter these moments in life when we look for compassion, help and understanding in order to find the strength to walk through the dark tunnel, the heavy passage or however you want to call it.

Sometimes we simply look for inspiration in order to find the energy to move us into a different spot thus allowing us to see a different perspective.

I might just have a little recipe for you which is so simple and easy to do and does not require anything but yourself:

Try to feel into yourself, start recognising what is going through your mind, you know the chitty chat that is happening constantly. Recognise it and accept it - try not to judge yourself for it. Then simply but sincerely say to yourself:

  • I love myself unconditionally including all my judgements I hold at this point of time.
  • I accept where I am at this point of time.
  • I respect the process that is going on within me.
  • I approve of what is happening.
Do this as you become aware of feeling your restlessness to accept your process.

Last but not least - Look at your 4 C's

  • Complaining (By complaining you are giving it more energy, you will not make it better. Instead make a statement from your heart and then forget it, you have done your bit. see Controlling)
  • Critizising (I call this chipping away your self confidence. Have you noticed that very often the thing you critizise is the thing you don't like about yourself.)
  • Comparing (Never compare yourself with somebody else, we all are unique and can not be compared! We have this uniqueness for a purpose even though it might not as yet be apparent to you.)
  • Controlling (Control is something that we think we are in control of but this is not the case. If something has to happen, nothing or nobody can stop it. You have control over how you feel about yourself but never really over others. Inspire them and if they want to come with you on the ride, wow, that is fantastic but maybe they have their own ride to do.)

Simple things to do but soon you will start to feel at a deep level:

Feeling versus Emotion

Art PrintsThere is a lot of confusion around the two words "feeling" and "emotion". The understanding and observing the difference of these two different states o being within you will open up a door to more freedom in your life. There is nothing to do but to observe this while it is playing out in your life. The innate understanding will be there and in most cases people already do have a sensory awareness of it without being conscious about it.

A feeling is a sensory awareness. For example you are aware of your environment as in it is warm, there is wind or not if you are outside. You hear the sounds of your environment, you see the blue sky, the trees with their shape and their colours, you become aware of a texture of something you touch or you receive the flavour of something you taste. These are the primary senses that transmit the "data" to you. You might like or not what you are perceiving through your senses.

An emotion is your reaction to that something that you are perceiving. It is your mind putting a judgement on your perception and therefore invoking an emotion. As soon as the emotion has kicked in, a huge amount of energy is mobilised and used thus creating an energy that is swirling fast. Some kind of excitement is created and the energy is burned quickly. It leaves you feeling tired or even exhausted at times.

If you become aware of the difference of feeling versus emotion, you quickly will learn to discern and make better choices for yourself.

You are born to be free and thrive ...

Marie Halter Art PiecesYou are born to be free!

This is a bold statement and the implication of this statement are far reaching and most of the time not u nderstood as long as you find yourself in situations which are less then desirable to you.

However, when you stop and listen closely to yourself you will discover that yearning for freedom inside you. It feels light, joyful, loving ... just simply like bliss. It is not a place where you feel above the rest, no, quit the contrary, you are part of this world but you are free inside yourself.

There are many people in our lifes who constantly make us feel less either by purpose or not. Very often we find them in our immediate environment (family, friends, work mates, ...). We tend to accommodate them waiting for their improvement, encouraging them, supporting them and be there for them when they are in need. They will improve and then they will acknowledge all my love, my energy I have put into this. Or if this is not forthcoming you soothe yourself in the idea that at least you have made a difference to this world.

Does this sound familiar?

You still feel you have a lot more to give. And yes, you do I agree. However there is a little catch to it. You are emptying your tank but what does fill it up again?

Do you sometimes think - wow - with my support they have done so well - what could I have achieved if I have had such support? Is there a little nagging thing in you reminding your of yourself and your desires? And all of a sudden you find yourself looking for a thread to hang on to fill yourself up again asking yourself when will it be my time. Yes, when, that is a good question, when?

When if not now?

Don't think now that I am completely free but I am in the very lucky position to maybe be a little more free than most of the human beings. I have gone through stages of my life which were downright dangerous to life and even more destructive to my soul. And when I write about this it is because it is a challenge of my life too. I know, I understand and I feel with you.

There have been moments where I considered giving up, let my wild spirit go and flow with the masses. I did do that at some stages of my life too because I simply thought that it might be easier and I gave my control over myself to over to society, a partner, a child ......... you fill in the gaps.

I ignored my yearning for development and when I felt it I put a sticker over it with a nice affirmation like "I am so happy" ... which of course was a) not true because it felt not that way and the gap from where I was to that affirmation was like crossing a big river without a bridge and b) made me ignore my state of being even more.

A vicious circle. Please don't get me wrong, I love positive affirmations, I use them all the time. But the secret to it is to first acknowledge where you are and how you really feel and then find an affirmation which feels slightly better than the current feeling place and gently accept the better feeling affirmation.

Don't try to reach too far because you might reach too far too quick and you come crashing back to your old place of feeling. That will make you feel even worse because you have put so much energy into taking that leap and now it has brought you even more sorrow.

Tiny steps will allow you to to move forward slowly but surely and I can tell you from my own experience (and I am a person with big ambitions!!!) even a slight improvement makes you feel good about yourself.

Give the best and most caring treatment to the most important person in your life - YOU! If you are not well, nobody and nothing around you will be. And deep inside you you know that too.
