Your Soul's growth

I was sitting in meditation one day to feel and have a moment of peace.

A few minutes into it I feel tightness in my being, resistance in my consciousness. I feel the fight or flight response that normally happens when you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in a situation or with someone. I asked my spirit. "Why do I feel like running away from peace".

My spirit - "Because you have been condition to do, do and do your whole life. It doesn't happen to only you, it happens to most people. You feel you need to always do something, to move and get busy" .

By going into inner peace, accepting the moment as it is - without wanting without doing but just being - is hard for a lot of people to be in. The manner of sitting peacefully without doing anything but breath is the simplest thing but also the hardest to do. ( Whenever you feel like running away from this feeling, come back to your breath and breath deeper and slower. Another way to sit in silence is to listen to the sounds you hear around you. Practicing gratitude for the moment, feeling happy to just be present with yourself, listening to soft music also helps).

We are mostly conditioned by our parents and society to always show action and to move and to be somebody, to do something worthwhile, to show up for something, to show up for someone. The only person you need to show up for is yourself. How you feel, what your intentions are, how your mental and emotional state of being is, is only known by you. Nobody else.

So in order to get out of this cycle and web of conditioning, give yourself the time and peace a few minutes a day to just sit and be and breathe. Without feeling guilty that you're not moving or doing something. Those 10 or 20 minutes a day will bring lots of release of tension and stress that you carry in your heart or shoulders. Those quiet time you give to yourself brings clarity towards the rest of the day. It helps you to feel grounded to be in your body and have the mental and emotional capacity to move forward towards your day in a calm and positive way. Don't we all need that.

The truth is the more at peace you are or the more you accept the emptiness of the moment ; the acceptance of doing nothing , thinking nothing in particular ( fleeting thoughts are normal you just breath it out and let it go) and just being is - empowering to your soul.

Your soul feels nourished, your consciousness feels one with you. You are giving love and time to your own sense of being to that energy source, that light within you that is the very reason you're living and breathing at this moment. You are opening yourself to it's wisdom and guidance ,which you will receive through intuitive thoughts and downloads as you go about your day. You will just know what to do or where to go and are presented with ideas and opportunities that you will be met with at the right time and space. You would start to think maybe luck has finally come your way.

Doing this practice daily (of seating and just breathing and being, accepting you as you are and your place in the moment right now), your life will feel more richer - in the awareness and clarity it brings to your mind and soul. You start to be more mindful of how your perception is on things; life and people around you. You bring in compassion, empathy and understanding to those situations and people that are close to you. You go about your day knowing what truly matters, aware of how your thought is impacting how you feel about yourself and the world ( empaths, light workers, mystics, energy healers are all aware how energy impacts themselves, others and the world at large). You begin to perceive and ask deeper question about happiness, about love or the world and how others are reacting to who you are... you are moving towards the journey of awakening, in touch with your higher self.

Having peace and stillness results in creating a conscious bond with your higher self ( you become sensitive to your intuitive urges, of the choices you make throughout your day), you feel wiser and calmer, the choices you make and the words you speak comes from your heart rather than your mind ( which most of the time if untamed is run by ego).

You gain a depth of understanding about life, aware that you are a soul (a light that's living through you and using your body to create and manifest everything that you desire). You understand that you are a unique individual that has a purpose and a voice in the world.

Being in peace even for 10 minutes a day removes the clutter in your mind and helps you to move forward towards everything you want to achieve in life, one that requires changes and growth. Wouldn't you want to find your missing piece in life, the one that makes you uniquely you instead of accepting and staying in the same old mentality and state of being year in and year out. Not saying that there's no growth through the years but growth will be very minimal if you're not in touch with your higher self.

Some will reach this state of awareness of a higher consciousness from going through or faced with dire situations in life such as - death of people close to you, when faced with your own sense of survival or of others and going through a deep life review of the reason and purpose of life ( to feel and know how everything fits into the puzzle, knowing and understanding the intricacies and the richness of the tapestry of life, that there's more than meets the eye). There are also those lucky few that are brought up by parents who values their sense of growth spiritually, molding them and opening their eyes to the truth and the intelligence of the universe that doesn't come through our senses alone not through just what we can perceived with our naked eyes but much more beneath that, the world of energy and towards spiritual evolution.

We are but a speck of dust in the universe and to actually feel this consciously makes everything else that's not of love - blurry and less important to us. We come to an elevated state of being of knowing and understanding the differences that we have in all matters of things, of shapes and of forms - that it does not matter if we are different. That our differences our uniqueness is to be celebrated. Our understanding, compassion and love for each other will wake us to be living as awakened souls where no one is better than the other and we all work and live together for peace living each day consciously knowing the energetic signature that we emit to others. What energy do you radiate to others?

The higher your consciousness is, when you are aligned with your inner self, the goodness of your being comes out of you naturally, you just become that which is love and want harmony above all else.

But it is important to mention here that through growth we go through changes, so even though you understand the importance of good energy and the idea of being in a higher state of consciousness, until and only when you resolve and go through conflicts or whatever it is that is bothering your peace of mind or is heavily embedded in your heart, you will not fully grasp the meaning of being in an elevated state of consciousness. It would feel inauthentic to you and people will feel it too no matter how much you advocate goodwill towards others.

Growth is not easy, it requires change and a willingness to look at truth in the eyes to know how you really feel about yourself and to heal it in whatever ways you can - and most of the times things will go sour before it can get better. There really is no other way. You learn through mistakes and a hard cold review about yourself. You face your fears and you forgive yourself and others whatever life, and judgements you have had about it and the truth is sometimes it takes a long time to accept your own fears and disappointments that has undoubtedly crushed your very spirit. Sometimes we have to wait for that life review on the other side of the veil, when we exit this life to know what actually you could have done to have made things better in this life time. Will it take that long or too late to make a change? It's your choice.

We as human grow and move forward in life because we want love and abundance in our lives. We want to feel joy and that joy may come in the form of love in relationships and in abundance, abundance in all forms. Although I'm not talking about abundance versus scarcity. It's about the abundance of joy that certain things we do brings to our life and our spirit. That wealth of feeling that comes from an enjoyment of doing something creative or participating in any form of sports or activities that nourishes our soul such as dancing or travelling around the world or of helping others such as social activism or helping the less fortunate. These activities brings a sense of purpose to an individual. A reason for living.

We never stay the same. We keep on changing but you do have the option to give a boost to how fast your soul growth is capable of growing on earth. The more your soul grows, the richer you feel life is, the more meaningful the days and the people close to you becomes and the less you want to cling for the material wealth you can amass while on earth ( for most people wealth meaning money - being a singular reason that effects their relationships and how they react to the world around them and how they feel about themselves but I feel this is slowly changing).

Everyone is broken to some degree or have problems or going through heart aches in life. This is what makes us human. Adversity pushes us to grow there is no other way. But you can make it easier by just finding peace a few minutes a day through breathing your way into being. It's also the way the angels and guides and your higher self can get your attention and send you ideas and download answers that you have been seeking in your life. You simply need to talk to them. Be an advocate for your heart and higher needs. It's time for a change.
