Einstein’s definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”. This is not to say you’re insane but if you think about the quote it’s right on target. If you are doing the same things over and over and expecting different results it might be time for a spiritual makeover.

What is a spiritual makeover?

A spiritual makeover is exactly what it sounds like. It’s when you clear energies or programming which are not inherently yours from mind, body, spirit and soul then filling up with your own unique spiritual essence. A spiritual makeover not only brightens your aura but gives you more space to breathe and create. This same makeover allows you to connect with your own spiritual purpose and have a deeper level of understanding the process. Many people focus on the positive and things they want which exist only outside of themselves without knowing how to bring it in. The physical manifestations come with knowing how to bring more of your spiritual ethereal body in. In simple terms if you can’t have more of YOU how can you have more of anything else?

If you think you’re moving in the right direction like you meditate (now and then), you keep a gratitude journal (sometimes), you focus on the positive(when possible), you work the law of attraction (when things aren’t coming to you) and yet things still aren’t happening or manifesting try focusing on having more of YOU! Also take a look at what’s written in the parenthesis. More often than not I see people working these spaces when things aren’t going the way they’d like. If you truly want a spiritual makeover it’s important to do these things daily. Your ‘tricks of the trade’ are always available but are you only using them when you have a problem that needs solving? Whatever modality you personally use, do you only do it when things aren’t going well or you don’t feel good? Meditation (of any types) is not a part-time ‘sport’ designed to solve problems. So if you’re ready…..

Your Spiritual Makeover Begins Here!

Just like getting a new hair style, wardrobe or makeup the results go beyond just making you look good. A physical make over leaves you feeling fresh, alive and when done right makes you feel and look like a different person. When you take the steps toward a spiritual makeover, it’s going to do the same thing on both the inside and the outside! If you’re ready for a spiritual makeover here are a few steps you can take:

Meditate Daily~Find a class to experience the energy. Listen to guided meditations*. Ground. Make time and space for meditating. Don’t just consider 5 minutes in the shower a meditation (although that may be where you need to start) Also take baby steps to quiet your mind and find peace within. Start with 5 minutes then 10 etc.
Start a “30 days to change” Gratitude/Validation Journal~Specifically include at least 5 things you love about yourself and validate your good choices. This brings the energy into present time and generates gratitude and love. Be sure to come back here and share your experiences in the comments section. I guarantee you will see great changes in your life by the end of those 30 days!
Imagine Yourself in a Gold Bubble~Validate you are spirit in a body. Fill up with your energy and allow it to surround you. Notice if the gold bubble changes into several layers of different colors and hues dancing around you. This is the spiritual space commonly known as your aura.

Now you have a few very simple tools for your very own spiritual makeover. They are not complicated, there are no special postures and when used every day will create great change as well as bring a sense of peace, calm and hope. Practice when it doesn’t count until it comes naturally. Your aura will shine and people might even ask if you’ve gotten a new hair style…and let me add here…YOU LOOK FABULOUS!~Shine Your Light Debbie

The photo on this post is a sculpture called “Freedom” created by Zenos Frudakis. From where I sit, this piece is profound in its perfect depiction of what it looks like to finally break free from whatever is holding you back. Energetically the cement which surrounds us means something different for everyone. It could be programming, invalidation, fear or a myriad of other things including common concepts from the world at large.

To move forward you must chip away at the cement tomb of energy to free yourself and live a life which rings true to who you are. When I speak of freedom I’m referring to releasing the energetic chains which bind so you can uncover truth and break free to live a passionate life of your choosing. It sometimes even means you must release yourself from the confines of your own mind.

Sculptors like Frudakis and the great Michelangelo look at a cement or marble block and chisel away at the outside until a beautiful form is created and emerges as a masterpiece. You are already a masterpiece in your own right and the only way to emerge is to work from the IN-side OUT! Instead of chiseling your way in, you grow and expand therefore releasing yourself by blasting out lies, energy and/or anything else which keeps you from being free.

It’s all about your inner world!

Your connectedness to your inner world is how you experience your outer world. If you are looking from the OUT-side in you may only see the form others have projected upon you. Looking from the IN-side out you first see who you are, your true spiritual essence, and from that vantage point there is clarity about what is NOT you. Perhaps all those times you were made ‘wrong’ or felt like you failed or you didn’t feel like you were good enough, maybe, just maybe there was something else at play; And that something else was NOT coming from YOU!

If you allow someone else’s opinion or energy whether it be parents, friends, employer, significant other or whomever it might be, to affect you and invalidate your creation (or what you’d like to create), take away from your success, or make you wrong, you have taken on their truth. No matter how much they love you and you love them, or how well-meaning they are if you are living from someone else’s truth, you are not free.

Meditation is the best way I know of to re-connect with your inner world and resources. Turning your attention within allows you to find truth. YOUR truth. It reconnects you to your passion and freedom. It helps you expand your creativity and find your answers.

Don’t you think you’ve stared at the cement or marble trying to figure out how to free the masterpiece inside long enough? Step INside, take out your golden chisel and allow your masterpiece to emerge, be free and dance in the light!~Shine Your Light Debbie
