We all are hearing, the entire planet is on the path of ascension! The most common word being associated with ascension is SPIRITUALITY or SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.
So, what is Spirituality?
Spirituality refers to your connection with your spirit, your soul a.k.a higher self or supreme being. I like to describe spiritual strength as your Divine Superpower - oneness with GOD. It is energy derived from being connected with source. Personally, for me spirituality means self - realization! By self - realization I mean listening to your own self. Half of the problems crop up when we don't listen to ourselves but seek answers outside or seek validation from others. The truth is solution to every problem lies within.
Spiritual Awakening occurs when you start asking questions like - "who am I", "what is my purpose", "what can I do for myself and the universe?" This opens the window to a bigger reality. You don't need to know the answers because there are no fixed answers to these questions. These answers keep changing. All you need to do is to ask the questions and give it to the universe. Universe will bring you the answers when you are ready for it. These could be in the form of meaningful co-incidences, intuition, inspiration or insights. It all happens spontaneously and synchronistically.
What is the point of all of this?
The point is to help you get in alignment with your soul! So you can stay in your vibrational escrow and can attract the things you love in life. Lot of people complain about not being able to find True love, right career, true friends, and some people struggle with health issues that are hard to diagnose. I was one of them! But we never sit back and think as to WHY its happening. There is always a WHY underneath the WHY! And unless you discover that WHY, nothing will change.
Now, what is this WHY?
This WHY is called a PATTERN! If you suffer from one problem or the other stated above, you must have observed that there is a pattern that you have been following in your life. Just like a hamster on the wheel! Which means that you keep doing the same thing over and over again, in the same manner with an expectation to see different results. But the results are always the same. You keep attracting the same people that get on your nerves, push your buttons, brings separation with your family members, play blame game with friends/co-workers, to the extent that it forces you to change jobs or places often. You think if you change your job and relocate to other city, you will find better people and hence peace will greet you. But to sheer surprise it does not bring any change, does it? It may only bring a change in the external environment which may appear good initially but again is not so fulfilling. Therefore, in order to see a lasting and fulfilling change, YOU MUST BREAK THE PATTERN!
How can one break the pattern?
Thoughts create emotions, emotions create actions, actions lead to habits and consistent application of those habits result in a particular behavior that becomes a PATTERN. Therefore, Pattern results from behavior. Behavior results from Habits and habits are the result of your actions. Actions in turn are result of your emotional and physical well being which originally is attributed to your thoughts. Hence, it all comes down to your thoughts, your thinking. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS CHANGE YOUR REALITY! You may wonder why "thoughts?" Because, thoughts are nothing but your belief system. A belief system that you acquired while growing up - during your childhood. What you see, what you eat, what you speak, the way you speak, what you wear, how you walk, what friends you make and how you gel with them, are all the result of your childhood conditioning - the belief system that you adopted from your parents, circumstances and schooling. It is this belief system, that impacts your thoughts heavily and shapes you into the human being you are today. The way we think or the thoughts that arise in our mind create certain emotions inside us. Positive thoughts develop positive emotions and negative thoughts develop negative emotions.
Your emotional reactions are layered patterns rooted in old wounds, unmet needs, and unexplored desires. Just like what comes out of an orange when you squeeze it? Orange juice, right? Similarly what comes out of us when we are pressured, triggered, scrubbed or squeezed is whats inside us. Its easier to blame others for our own emotional responses. But the truth is no one else is responsible for making us feel or behave the way we do. Its all about how YOU chose to react! You can either chose to react with compassion (soul) or in anger (ego). When you get sick of the bitterness inside, you will change the thoughts, patterns and behaviors. This is how Transformation happens! By reflecting upon yourself, going within, becoming conscious and changing what needs to be changed and tamed inside you. Remember nothing changes outside if nothing changes inside. The change must take place at the CONSCIOUS LEVEL.
My story - I used to blame my husband for making me feel sad/depressed because we didn't get along. But the truth is I was sad because the career I chose was not fulfilling. I was depressed because of my own health issues that I kept ignoring by not looking after myself well. I just wasn't strong enough internally to handle my relationship issues or career issues that emerged due to lack of my awareness. But we find it convenient to blame it on others. I also called him out for judging me all the time; not realizing that I was being judge-mental by judging him as well. Some relationships act as mirrors and some act as shadows. Mirrors don't lie and shadows never leave. Whatever comes dripping out of you is yours to claim. OWN IT! Accept it, Confront it, and Transform it. One of the biggest lessons I learned from my relationship was "that you can only change yourself and not others;" Once you change yourself, everything around you changes. Because It simply means you are operating from your highest self. When you chose to operate from your highest self, you are choosing to exhibit the right kind of energy to the universe which is reflected back. Hence, everything falls into place.
Let's talk about - What does being in your highest self mean and how does it impact you and your life?
Being in highest self means igniting your codes of consciousness and raising your vibration. What you are asking for is alignment so you can become whole in yourself. Being in highest self means that you come from a place of love, no matter what. You understand that everyone is flawed just as you are. Forgiving other person becomes easier. You chose kindness over coldness, giving over selfishness, and forgiveness over grudge.
Its all about change and transition. Its all about how you demonstrate your desires. Observe how you feel? Change means you move from a feeling of anger, loneliness, separation, isolation, fear and pain into a state of wonderful peacefulness. Where you know everything is going to be okay. Chose to respond from love. If you are not coming from loving space then you are in a state of fear which is a state of lower frequency vibration. Stop being needy. Stop being dependent on others to save you. In the new age we are going from an old order to new order. Begin to go within and you will find that you have the power to save yourself and this is a wonderful liberating thing. Basically you are trying to discover you ability to respond to life not in a victim way but in a way that gives you power. This is how you build connection to your higher power or highest self. The moment you decide to make the change and chose to operate from highest self, the SHIFT happens. You wanna be patient with yourself. Sometimes you might vacillate between your old and new self, which is okay. That doesn't mean that you haven’t learnt anything, it just means that you are not settled in your new habits yet. It takes time. It took me 3 years to adopt new habits and patterns after I experienced the SHIFT in Jan 2017. Its not easy. I still have lot of psychological work to do. The objective is to build yourself up and instead of beating yourself up. Highest self comes from releasing your old beliefs and patterns and practicing new beliefs and habits. Practicing affirmations is a good way to start. A CHANGE is just a THOUGHT away. The moment you change your thought, the whole situation changes. Know that you can contribute to the peace of the planet just by using your mind. Just by choosing to operate from unconditional love. Spirituality is our direct connection with our ultimate higher source. It connects us to each other at soul level. Remember what give you out is what you get back. Be the change you want to see. The change must happen at the Conscious level. Transform yourself by making the changes in your thought patterns and create a new reality for yourself. Make this world a better place to live in by operating from love, peace and joy.
So in simple words being in your highest self means:
1. Reprograming your conscious mind – Life is a state of consciousness
2. Reprograming your subconscious mind – Merge your subconscious mind with conscious mind
3. Practicing Gratitude and Forgiveness – Move into a space from “Like attract like”
4. Operating from unconditional Love – Love is the only answer
