SPIRITUALITY – Page 8

“Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.”~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Destiny is in YOUR hands! You have the power to create it but perhaps what you think your destiny is and the vibration you put out is merely a small piece of your soul purpose! What if your destiny is BIGGER and more wonderful than you are imagining and you are limiting your creativity by trying to control the outcome?

Control over your destiny comes in many forms. It could be constantly worrying or dwelling on past failures. It comes in the form of those little thoughts of doubt and fear that creep in. It might even be that at some point in your past you decided you couldn’t ‘have’ anything more than what you have. The negative thoughts which run through your head have the power to limit your destiny and take you off your path just as positive thoughts have the power to help in manifesting your dreams.

It doesn’t really matter what form it comes in or where the control comes from; Controlling your destiny does not work. It is steeped in resistance, effort and well, control. It is precisely that control that causes you to get stuck and feel like a hamster on a wheel going round and round. Your spirit knows where you are going and having a stranglehold on your growth merely prolongs you getting there and often times limits creativity and takes you off your path completely. Imagine what could be if you didn’t limit yourself! Imagine if you let go of HOW to get there and instead followed your intuition and inner guidance allowing things to effortlessly unfold? What if the “destiny” you “think” you’re headed towards is actually more profound, expansive and beautiful than you are imagining?

Your Spirit Knows!

“…you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”~ Steve Jobs

Beyond logic and thought there is your spirit and spiritual essence. You came here with a purpose and your spirit knows how to fulfill that purpose. You must trust that your spirit knows and will guide you. Why limit yourself by trying to control what is infinitely more than what you could imagine? All it takes to create your destiny is to put it out there! It takes trust, a bit of healing and allowing your creativity to flow freely. Your spirit knows this. In fact YOU know your spirit knows this! How do you know you know? When you’ve been knocked off your true path, there is effort, negativity and the feeling of being stuck. You know you are headed in the right direction when it feels good. You know when it feels right. You know it when you stand bold and tall with confidence. You know when you feel like nothing can stop you!

Let go of trying to control your destiny. Put the dream of what you want out there with the intent that whatever happens is for your highest good. Dream it, will it, let it go and allow it to unfold. Follow your intuition and trust in spirit. Let your destiny come to you by allowing it to unfold! Embrace your true purpose and let it shine! Embrace your goodness and know that all things happen for a reason. Imagine what life would be like if your destiny is actually MORE than what you imagine!~Shine Your Light Debbie

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
