YOUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP
We have many relationships in a life time. Some mirror many before and others are fresh and exciting providing a new perspective and an opportunity of growth.
There is a useful tool called the Wheel of Life that defines all the different areas of ourselves that requires attention and when an even amount is distributed we technically are in balance. The reality is that life likes its ebbs and flows, which means more often than not the balance requires a sense of flexibility. This however, can create a habit where an important aspect of you becomes absent, or even considered a luxury, and omitted from our day to day.
Accepting that there are many aspects of ourselves that evolve along our journey and sometimes, be it because of mechanistic obligation beating at the door, our spiritual journey is considered as something that just is; something that sits nearby and will come along with us no matter what we find ourselves doing.
Even with the access to such an expanse of information, knowledge and opportunity to increase our awareness, there are some that purely develop their spiritual self from a mental aspect. They may speak about attending numerous meditation classes without really participating, or using the latest jargon to help them feel connected without living what they say and even to the point that they dress in accordance with how they would like to be but never experiencing the true sense of bliss that can come.
Often this comes from not treating themselves the way they know they should and consequently believe that a vague effort is better than nothing.
What I mean by this is rather simple.
We often tend to treat others much better than we treat ourselves. We often put others before ourselves; our dreams and goals considering that if we didn’t then we would be deemed as selfish. This then impacts on all that we do for ourselves. (Note: there is a big difference between being selfish and self absorbed).
The bigger picture to this treatment is that we tend to lose a lot of energy, ending up feeling tired, frustrated and never fully rested. It has a sense that we are chasing an invisible goal that can never be obtained, so we have given up before we even start.
What is really going on is that we our out of balance. Our spiritual self is being neglected, as are more often than not other areas of our wheel of life, and so our connection to our higher self, our spirit guides and aligning to the universe seem more like words than anything else; thus, living in the mental state of being.
An analogy that always tended to resonate was to treat ourselves as our own best friend. Speak to ourselves as though we were someone external and treat ourselves in the same manner; with the result being that we actually listen to ourselves and start to treat ourselves with the respect we deserve.
Once we establish this rapport with ourselves imagine the extent of our meditation, the language we use with ourselves and even the way we choose to dress will evolve into that which is true within. It also opens a door creating a pathway toward our higher self that may not have been accessible before because we were existing too much in our minds and not enough in our ethereal self.
What kind of relationship do you have with your spiritual self? Does it receive the same, or more, respect than that of an external person, or less?
Treat your spiritual self as a valuable relationship, taking time to nurture and listen to what comes through. This then allows an avenue of connection to your spirit guides and angels; allowing you as a person to become complete. It is purely a matter of being kind to yourself.
When you look at the different areas of your life, remember to include the very important and special relationship that can create a sense of peace and harmony within – your spiritual relationship.
