Discover A Spiritual Awakening Journey
Discovering your spiritual path
usually isn’t based on simply finding your personal path. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? Ah, but then
you’d miss the adventure of self-discovery. Most people have taken a side road—probably several side roads—before
discovering that centered, calm space that resonates deeply with their soul spirit and personal path. That space where you
simply know you’ve found it—whatever "it" is—and feel at ease, balanced and content: that’s where
your spiritual path will take you.
It’s this spiritual journey that requires your attention, not the destination.
Discovering your spiritual path isn’t something you can put on a ‘to do’ list—Tuesday: discover spiritual
purpose in life—but you can make it easier to chance upon or stumble into your spiritual path. You can heighten the
probability of finding that calm, centered personal space with a few simple techniques.
First, quit worrying
about whether or not you have discovered your spiritual path. Anxiety and fear only serve to move you further away from that
very path your soul is seeking. Spending time wondering whether you’re on your spiritual path cheats you of this moment
on your spiritual journey. And this moment is part of your spiritual path. Actually, the present moment, your spiritual journey,
IS your spiritual path. The rest is simply details.
Naturally you wonder about these details—whether
you should live in a certain place, take a particular job, study a particular religion or philosophy, stop or continue your
educational endeavors, or stay in a relationship with someone. Always pay attention to your inner sense, your intuition, about
what is right for you and your soul spirit when it comes to those details. And don’t forget to use your common sense,
too.
With practice, you’ll learn to access and apply that inner voice, your intuition, in decision-making,
along with those other handy tools like common sense, logic and analysis. Learning to listen to your inner voice and tuning
out your own emotional chatter and the well-meaning advice of others isn’t easy. But you’ll find yourself on a
far less stressful spiritual path if you put what feels best to you on a gut level—an intuitive level—first.
Second,
meditate on your choices. Meditation is powerful. Ponder the possibilities. Allow yourself to imagine what your ideal life
would involve so you can discover your spiritual path. If you still remain completely baffled about the ‘right’
choice, do nothing for a while. Allowing things to unfold is fine—as long as you’re not avoiding what you sense,
deep down, is the right (and probably more difficult) choice and allow your spiritual journey to progress.
Be
kind to yourself as you seek your unique spiritual path. Pay attention to your soul spirit as you search. Give yourself time
when you need it. Don’t rush. Savor the process. It’s the spiritual journey after all, not the destination, that’s
important. Otherwise, it’d be called a spiritual destination, not a spiritual path.

All things are made of energy...different forms none to
be fearful of. An unbeneficial energy is not necessarily bad...it is just energy. There is a place for this energy her for
us to learn that we all need to see. The energy may simply exist for you because there is something that you are holding on
to that draws this to you, for your own spiritual growth.
The energy of the universe is a very powerful thing
and we create everything in our lives...If we have drama then we have drawn it to ourselves. We are like beacons and when
it is time to bring our next issue to the surface, something in our surroundings comes to us that will effectively bring emotion
to the surface to be released. We have two choices when it happens...we can get caught up in the emotion of it all or take
a step back and look at from a place of emotional detachment and ask ourselves what is happening right here right now. What
is the bigger picture, so that I may learn what this is about, so that I do not have this coming up again for me?
Grace,
Carolyn
