Living a Spiritual Life During Challenging Times

Snow and Sun.

It was snowing outside when I sat on my bed to be with Spirit last Thursday afternoon. The energies were strong. Messages and visions came through with a blend of past and future. It was beautiful. I cried, released, and received.

Then, like a miracle, the sun shone through the window and onto my face. The warmth and the bright light filled me with love, support, protection, and guidance. I bathed in it and allowed it to replenish me and my soul. Gratitude poured through my awareness. 

I had been feeling burned out and had no inspiration to write a blog for Friday. Instead of pushing through, I prioritized my health and wellness and decided to take the day off. Spirit rewarded me with an extraordinary experience of love and light.

I was reminded of my path and the work I put in co-creating my spiritual foundation. Developing a life in which I felt fully loved, supported, protected, and guided. It has taken years of healing, growth, and deconstruction to become my truest self and live my soul guided life. And I am so very grateful for this spiritual life, especially during challenging times.

Wisdom for Challenging Times.

Recent shifts and transitions between years, cycles, and eras have been challenging. Life at the boarding house, even more so. Everything is shifting and realigning. It has been a lot to experience and a lot to process. I became overwhelmed. 

My saving grace was wisdom provided to me by my soul, “observe, don’t absorb”. Watch what is happening, but don’t take the energy in. I repeat it like a mantra, “observe, don’t absorb”. 

When I feel myself becoming emotionally engaged with something that doesn’t deserve my energy, I say it over and over. Sometimes, I feel the shift from hyper vigilance to detachment, tense to relaxed. Other times, the focus on the mantra works to break a thought pattern or energy drain. It created an energetic boundary around and within me. With practice, it became a more natural state of being rather than a mantra. Observe, don't absorb.

The wisdom my soul provides me with is what helps me navigate life’s challenges.  My connection with my soul provides me with everything I need. It means that I am loved, supported, protected, and guided through life. It is why I choose to live this spiritual life.

A Spiritual Life.

We are never without love, support, protection, and guidance. Our souls, and through them the Divine, are always with us, providing for us. If we let them. If we create that relationship. If we invest ourselves in that relationship, that spiritual connection. 

We can wait in disbelief and seek proof, but that defeats the purpose of faith. Or we can reach out and take that leap of faith, express our free will, and initiate our connection with soul and Spirit. 

With that connection, and our faith, we co-create our spiritual life. Our prayers, affirmations, intentions, are our communication to soul and Spirit. Synchronicities, guidance, and messages are their communication back to us. It all works together to co-create our spiritual life. 

The new year, new cycles, and new eras will take what they take, and bring what they bring. If we let them, Spirit will love, support, protect, and guide us through it all. If we let them, our souls will love, support, protect, and guide us through it all. 

This is why we choose this spiritual life. So that we can live by our guidance and experience what our souls were sent to experience. So that we become the most authentic version of ourselves. So that we fulfill our purposes. So that we honor our most Divine selves.

We choose a spiritual life of love, wisdom, and abundance. 

We choose to express it spiritually, emotionally, and materially. 

We choose Spirit and soul to love, support, protect, and guide us. 

We choose it with our body, mind, heart, and soul. 

That is our spirituality. It becomes the foundation for our lives. It is how we live a spiritual life during challenging times. 

Love, wisdom, abundance.

Spiritually, emotionally, materially.

Loved, supported, protected, guided.

Body, mind, heart, soul.
