Spirituality
Would you agree that the mind, body, and spirit are all important? I feel the world has mastered various ways to accomplish mental and physical health. For example, nutritional and exercise information has been studied given on how to make our bodies look and feel good. A lot of psychological research has been developed on how to accomplish better mental health as well. However, it seems that most people around the world tends to neglect spiritual health, or, it is not as popular as the other two. This could be because a lot of people need to SEE in order to believe certain things. We all can see how our bodies transform from eating healthy and working out, and we all feel that we can control the way we think and the outlook of our lives. However, how can we SEE spirituality? How do we witness spiritual growth? I think society runs off of their mind and eyes, instead of their heart and feelings deep within them, in other words, their intuition.
So what is spirituality? I believe spirituality is an inner journey to discovering one’s true self. A journey where one will meet and communicate with the Ultimate Divine and gain true clarity about how life should be lived. I believe that spirituality is a journey to a “place.” A place away from the world. A place of peace, stillness, clarity, and balance. Spirituality, in my opinion, is about inner, self growth on a higher level. And once people reach that level of development, the next mission is to help others with their own personal self growth.
People reach this “place” in different ways using different methods. Some like to meditate on music or completely in silence. Others like to pray in the comfort of their homes or in a certain type of service. Some people enjoy relaxing around nature, such as a lake or a park. And still, others like to do activities such as yoga and tai chi. All of these activities are calming and bring us to a place of peace away from the world.
So for those who meditate, or use some other sort of method to connect with our higher self, why does the experience feel so great? Why do we have so much peace and happiness afterward? I believe because for those few little moments our of busy, hectic lives we are finally “home,” and we can feel it. We are closer and connected with the Higher Power.
The world is becoming more and more complicated, with unnecessary violence and other events due to our lack of spirituality. If people stopped taking actions based on over thinking, fear, and worldly intelligence, and instead channeled into their own hearts and true guidance to seek answers the world would be a much better place. Imagine what the world would be like if we all truly connected with our higher selves. If we stopped relying on the world to give us our answers to everyday life. I feel that it would truly be like Heaven, peaceful and full of clarity.
Spiritual Heart
Welcome dear friend, after short break from blogging, I am drawn once again to contribute to your reason, I have read a post which talked about spiritual heart, and it rather fascinated me for it was along the lines of “I am a trader on stocks, but that particular day he had a sense from a spiritual heart, which basically said to NOT trade, rather get his mind off all the stresses and direct his energy at something else, I do not fully understand how listening to a outside force can be labeled as spiritual heart?
Let me enlighten you about the spiritual heart side of things, for it is “YOU” and nothing outside of you can be labeled as such.
It is a feeling and it is an ability to KNOW, yet when a scientific mind reasons with that “KNOW” word, he will quickly label himself as a chimpanzee (as evolution suggests such thing) also the claim of a big bang, and the beautiful planet just happening to be where it is, (at precise location, for if it were a millimeter close to the sun, earth would be to hot to live on, and if it were a millimeter further away, then it would be too cold for the scientific mind to come to any conclusions as such as we have evolved from monkeys) please DO NOT include me in that category, yet the scientific mind will claiming that psychics and spiritually humbled souls are just fools; that may be the case, yet if he has spent his entire life studying the nature of life, then he may consider to re think about his humanly calculations, for e = TRUST, yet please do not misunderstand these words you are reading as “I” downgrading an other human, for I will do not such thing. I just claiming what I read, and it is fair to enlighten you “the spiritual child” for then you may have another point of view to reason with.
This is another point of view about spiritual heart = (Spiritual awakening refers to soul awakening, self-development, self-transformation, leading a balanced and integrated life, leading an internally joyous life, and leading a spiritual life)
the quotes above are from another person and NOT “I” labeled “Tolga” and what “Tolga” has to say is this = WOW if that is the case; then I am afraid, for it may be cumbersome for me to feed and be with my spiritual heart. What about the super woman of 2009, it seems she then has no choice about ever being fulfilled. Don’t you think?
Here’s a seed of reason for you; “when you look at the nights sky” do you feel it? how about “when the wind howls”? what about when the waves roar? what about when you are just “YOU” the feeling that is within your very design, silent at that, yet inviting. And I assure you that “you do NOT have to transform into anything but just letting go and taking that deep breath you have long forgotten how to” please do so take that long earned deep breath, really deep. See? how that made you FEEL? “A SPIRITUAL HEART” not none of the synchronization, NOT none of the “come to my weekend seminar and I will teach you HOW TO BE “YOU” ‘ because only you really KNOW that, “you do” I am certain of it.
Are you fearful? about what the world around you may say “if you just shown the side of you called the spiritual heart”
How can you fear that, is your birth right, how can one deny that profound feeling of sense (without the sense input through senses) that is your spiritual heart, that YOU have been keeping “secret” and that SECRET that YOU ARE AWARE OF, is your spiritual heart. Yet many people due to outside influences have grown shy of the beautiful being called “YOU”
Here let me give you a chisel, together we read the symbols on your computer screen, TRUST
T = to you
R = rightfully pure
U = unbreakable
S = sense of
T = trust
is “YOU”
One must be careful about trading stocks, for there is a gain also maybe loss, yet one must be even more careful about trading “spiritual heart” to the material which is a “day long’ and is illusive. For the loss will be heavier, yet when listened to “your spiritual heart” with love and kindness, then the reward is yours NEVER to be lost again.
Yet being a human in the golden spiral of it all, our spiritual heart will go on. Being happy is like a water no doubt about that, and cannot be fully grasped with one hand. You must hold on to your hearts love and share it with those around you, that is called “spiritual heart” that is called “YOU“
Relaxation; only the calm waters will reflect the stars
Relaxation, what is relaxation? if we were to try to describe this feeling of being relaxed in one word, then surely we would find it challenging. What may make me relaxed may not work for you. Or we could get similar relaxing feelings if we both sat down to listen to relaxing music. Yet in essence relaxation is your own matter, self matter, and is your power factory. In the oceans of your heart, it is a feeling, feeling of calmness, contentment fulfillment and meaning. Mind you relaxation is not to stop your minds thoughts, therefore praying, meditation being kind hearted and loving may arise sensations of feeling relaxed, yet they should not be seen as relaxation itself. Perhaps we may call these virtues humanly acts as devotion and dedication with passion.
Yet to relax and feel this feeling called relaxation is one that is in high demand. And there are many business which make billions of $$$ trying to end the search for the seekers of relaxation. There are books CD seminars teachings etc. the list is endless, and at times these products and services are helpful for some people. Yet the search continues for this worthy treasure called relaxation on deeper level. This is because it is so important for our well being (lets re look at the words; well-be-ing)
For us sacred human beings, modern life is such a demand rushing, instant everything (instant coffee, instant dinners) we demand instant everything, because we are being demanded upon to perform endlessly and instantly. Yet to feel relaxed more often requires bit of study, self study to find out what factors actually contribute to relaxation. Please do not illusion that, having a good looking car, or a nice castle or a bank balance which is abundant is going to give you relaxation (please do not misunderstand me because having some or all of the above maybe useful and helpful to you) But they will not serve you relaxation on a plate. This is because it’s an inner quest, it’s a feeling we have the capacity to trigger. You cannot go to the supermarket and trade your relaxation for a bottle of milk or bread; therefore it is not a material (physical to touch) thing. Yet it is of great quality to obtain and feel.
Relaxation is a subconscious event. (Period)
It’s your subconscious serving you the feeling which you receive; it cannot be forced or demanded at will. Therefore let’s look at the workings of it, and also physical conditions which will allow the feelings to arise. Please do understand that, (yes physical actions will help to trigger the subconscious levels to arise the self fulfilling relaxation)
The desire to feel relaxed is a must (which is a conscious event) also understanding how to enjoy life, to enjoy means to relax as well, to lead a life of happiness, overcoming challenges with reason, to know the self feelings with respect and loving kindness, those who enjoy the journey called life and put their head above negativity will certainly see the new experiences in a new light and enthusiasm.
We need to look for today’s new opportunities and turn our backs to passed (unless the passed visions is of beauty innocence love strength and courage). Person who enjoys life knows that no human is without fault, and does not resent or judge self or judge others (simply lives and learns always trying to expand and better self) as the verdict in his/her kingdom called thinking is always FREE to relax, to love and feel loved. Because being free of hurts free of negative unwelcome emotions, free of anger and resentment, looking for what’s right instead of what’s wrong, seeing the accomplishments of self (even others, with kindness) seeing the strength of self (even seeing the weakness of reason at times as strength, as in; desiring to be stronger) is necessary conditions to arise the feeling called relaxation.
How about the feelings called leisure? Yes, to relax is to also search leisure and take time out for self (not in a selfish way, yet in a deserving way, for your heart surely deserves) do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Seek leisure at times (let me give you one of my personal choice) as simply as this may sound, I find great leisure to watch a candles flame dance (it’s magical, just try it, get a candle, turn the lights off, and you’ll see). Taking time out for leisure is well, this is smart, to know when we over demand from physical and emotional self, to allow time to play is called leisure.
Because at times of overwhelm simply realize you are this thing called a human being, and we can only give our time (give our best to life) and at times must say “hey life has gotten much from me today, let me allow bit of time for ME” this way your search to find out who you really are and what makes you feel sacred is realized, thus giving opportunity for feeling relaxation. Do not obsess with what must be done when you know you have done your best, or even if you are unsure if you have given your best or not. Give some of your precious time to yourself (as I promise you no one else will ever do this for you), to re energize re focus re center. Re You
Relaxation means to take time out as well, time for self, child, young and wise as you are deserving. Let go of your tensions, find adventure within life and its ups and downs, and do not be unkind to yourself. Find ways and allow time for self to relax. Make a habit of it, do not search for it as it is already within you to be discovered (remember the times when you felt free and relaxed without a worry in the world, build on these past experiences, knowing that you can again and again and again feel the beauty called relaxation)
And from then on, looking at life from a relaxed point of view will allow you to feel happier (in a way will allow you to look at things from a higher level, “perhaps like an eagle, simply letting the air do all the work, with its wings wide open, gliding. To receive the breath of life is called living “just like gliding of an eagle” to understand and know things can be imagined to higher understanding point of view, because the view is always different up there. The view is definitely different up there. The up there is in you, its up in the depths of your heart, waiting for you to be loving kind for the most deserving being = YOU
For all your questions or learning do not hesitate to contact me, I may offer you psychic readings online, or spiritual understanding. I look forward to hearing from you soon
Spiritual Humanness – Thankfulness Exercise
Spiritual knowledge is by far wide and many, many of us desire to know; experience direct feeling of contentment. As truth for me is for me alone, revelations of spiritual nature come in moments. There are signs around us all; those of us who are certain that life is made for our spirituality are surely exceptional souls. With spiritual contentment comes spiritual well being. And only with spiritual well being can we attain physical health, emotional health. Because these words above are actually interconnected with one another, and, a person cannot have one without the other. Let’s imagine a person who just works out physically, always eating well and exercising, taken care of the body so to speak.
Yet if that very person does not cultivate his/her spiritual health, then he or she will feel empty, perhaps most times will feel happy, yet if life shows an event that is one of grief or a loss of a loved one, then he or she will experience a state of unhealthiness, both physically also spiritually. That’s just a human nature, to realize this fact we simply need to look around. As we are strong beings, for we have mastered control over the planet. Yet without spiritual knowledge we will feel naked vulnerable, and only awareness will free you from vulnerability, there are ways that many of us attend to, protect ourselves from these forces of life, forces which we rather not feel, as in negative feelings doubts or hurts.
The way to better ourselves in this path would then be to discover methods that allow us to feel content, secure and human. As humanness is great, is sacred. And the methods could be many, yet the balance is the key, let’s says you enjoy playing sport, be it football or golf etc, then in proportion is well, or any other activity that you as “your name” enjoy, that is great. But as you know it is very easy to miss track of time within a given day, thus we may forget to attend our hearts, at its deepest self. The self we know makes us “us”.
We may at times do so, by simple prays or meditation, or simply just being, without any thought.
As these are one of the few ways we attend, rather connect with life. Although it is very important to attend physical health, it is also important to attend spiritual side of our hearts to give meaning to life, and its sacredness.
Thankfulness Exercise
I as a spiritual mentor at times suggest an exercise, and exercise which I feel has unparalleled benefits, as it is proven to me personally. Because I know how easy it is to forget to take that time for our hearts, to take notice and realize, how grateful we really are, despite the outside circumstances we can energize our hearts, and connect with all.
This simple five minute exercise is called, thankfulness session. And it only requires about five minutes, also it is so easy to attend, yet the benefits will be seen immediately. As the name suggests, it is simple thankfulness, anything you can think of, which arouses thankfulness feelings. As in; I am so thankful that I am alive, I am so thankful that I am able to feel love, I am so thankful for people around me, I am so thankful for the diversity of life, which teaches me, me. I am so thankful that I have loving nurturing parents, who even though I kept them up late at night while a baby, loved me unconditionally. I am so thankful for my family, for nurturing me, I am so thankful for all those special souls who have given me seeds of reason to plant and grow wisdom. I am so thankful that you are reading this, thus allowing me to share my heart.
These are just a few, which I am certain you will add so many more. And it only takes about five minutes, just do it, and then you’ll see. Also obviously what is very important is not to just say these “thank you”, rather to feel it. Allowing the feeling to arise to a degree that you feel it. As busy as life’s demands are on us, we require a time out for our human ness. As we study more and more, we realize much is a choice, as in, we can choose what to direct our focus on. Therefore allowing five minutes each day, will really let us feel the presence with acceptance, knowing that we are accepted, just the way we are, a profound way of being, we can choose to be thankful. We all have our methods of attending our spiritual side. And just like a river which has many branches, leads all to the same lake. A lake of calmness, meaning and purpose. And at times it is unexplainable in mere words, yet nature and all that we feel and experience is somewhat allows us to be, as if all is assembled in that precise moment just for us to feel that humanness. And what better way to show appreciation, with a heartfelt. THANK YOU.
Spiritual Souls on Meditation Street
Meditation is somewhat a subject that is being taken out of content, thus resulting in many people trying to achieve a state of calmness but never actually finding that truly unique state of calmness. Many people who embark on a quest to find out the benefits of meditation fall victim to misunderstanding of meditation, in its core it is a method to be in touch with true self, as when many of us talk about the subject of essence or spirit then we will agree that it cannot be seen, yet spiritually aware souls know that it exists, and if many people ask as to how would one know? The answer is I just know. We have methods to find out. One is mind and body, as opposed to just mind. We as human beings have senses to serve us, if I command my hand to touch my hair it will obey, if I command my feet to get up and go somewhere it will obey. Then we have the mind where the opportunity to be fully logical and reasonable, then when reason and logic is used to find out where our souls are then it will come to the conclusion as to it is within the heart. Just like the saying the soul is housed within the heart. And surely not the heart that is merely made of piece of meat, but the heart of strength purity potentiality of loving and kind and compassionate.
Let me give you another example, lets say we get a block of cheese (cheddar or fetta, it doesn’t really matter) and let’s imagine a person who knows about milk but he or she has never seen a block of cheese, now for you and I to convince that person that the very block of cheese in front of us is actually made out of milk will be rather hard to accomplish. Would you agree?
Spiritual road to clarity is through within
Same is true with your soul, your heart houses it, it is there. It is eternal. And meditation is path of finding your way back home, if you are faithful then praying is one way to find your way back home to celestial realms, through your heart is a road that only your heart can tread on. To be fully awakened is to see clearly, and from this seeing will come clarity. Meditation is a tool so to speak, and every one of us can use this tool, a tool as such that is available free, by you commanding your senses to serve you. As much as stillness we seek through meditation, the actual process of attending to stillness requires simple actions. Then you will enter into the stillness where by the busyness of living a modern life will pause, for you to reunite with that extraordinary being “you” at the same time it will allow you to realize the simplicity in the complexity. You will realize that you, your heart is, surely sacred extraordinary special nurtured loving pure. Pure is the most important aspect of who you really are.
Once you know this through direct experience and realization, then everything in the outside world will be embraced and looked upon with a different and wider view perception. A sense of purity that is priceless, it is not for sale, nor can you find it in any matter but within. No teacher can go one step for his or her disciple, in themselves they must experience truth and enlightenment, spiritual teachers are only a light on the road that at times seem dark and blurry filled with doubts or fears. When one exerts effort to attend and realize purity of own heart, then you will know, all the doubts and fears are simple illusions and has no basis in actually absolute reality. Because in the depths of your heart there is this being, this feeling called you, ever waiting for your intellect and reason to find it, it waits quietly patiently, guiding you whispering silent yet inviting whispers for you to come home, come to your essence, come back to who you really are. Eternal spirit that is molded by and with purity. And that is YOU.
Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual guidance is rather a delicate subject because it concerns the matters of the heart, your essence. There are many paths to follow when it comes to spiritual beliefs, and yet real spiritual guidance is not a religious subject, rather it is to embrace all the teachings on earth and utilize their messages of love and hope. Our experience of our true nature needs to be attended as often as possible, because in fact when we experience our true nature then we will be experiencing love and purity.
When we attend our hearts then this experience will flow onto our interactions with the outside world. And we can all agree that when we attend life with love and kindness this is well for each and every one of us.
When spiritual minded people search for spiritual guidance, then they tend to be confronted with so many different teachings, and often times this very search might result in conflicting perceptions about spirituality itself. Spirituality basically means that we as humans are made of pure essence which many label spirit, although not physically seen, it is a belief of certainty that it exists also it is eternal.
Many people theorize about spirituality, and its one pure true form, also as silly as may sound some people even go to length to harm one another in the name of faith or spirituality. This is simply a result of theorizing and not a result of true understanding of spirituality.
Spiritual guidance when obtained through the heart of a loving compassionate spiritual teacher will clear away the clouds of confusion thus resulting in true understanding which is based on love and reason. If I was to hear or even act upon a teaching without reasoning and using the magic of logic, then this is called blind faith. Blind faith or belief is like living someone else’s life, and it might not serve us in the long term. Each truth we will learn will be as if it has never been written before and my neighbors’ intelligence is no use to me when it comes to spiritual understanding.
Yet one thing is certain when it comes to real realization and direct experience of love and fullness, and that is it can only be done through patience, because what might seem real and true today might come in to a different light come tomorrow. This can even happen with a single dream we might witness within our nightly dream journeys. It might even wakes us up with a completely different perception about many things.
When we as spiritual beings talk about absolute, then surely we need to remember that, only spiritual truth is the absolute reality, and the rest is just thoughts that change and expand. We hear time and time again about people one day out of blue, walking out on their jobs, wanting to explore different paths in life (mostly spiritual truth they seek). This search doesn’t have to be a dramatic turn in our lives. We simply need to feed and nurture this spiritual craving within our hearts by seeking and obtaining easy to understand spiritual guidance. In fact when spiritual teachings confuse the seeker then obviously this is of no use to anyone. And as much as some people desire to expand at times their fear of change stops them from expanding. And here’s the truth, unless we expand, if not, then this will create ground for doubts and fears. What we need to pay attention to is, when people seek spiritual guidance or spiritual healing, then often times their chosen spiritual teachers will tell the seeker that their problems or challenges are due to some event of the seekers past (this maybe true) unless the spiritual teacher can light the path for tomorrows, then there no point to keep visiting the past. Yes, agreeing of the past as lived and carved in memory and holding self true to understanding self and life itself, is the most potent teaching we can all do more of.
Spiritual Guide
Is there to remind you that, life as much as imperfections of human behavior is in it, only through self understanding will come self liberation, whether of past or futures. If a spiritual guide understands a seekers needs and position, then this is well (they actually must be able to, to be able to offer pure spiritual guidance), but unless a spiritual guide can make the seeker understand seekers own needs and positions to themselves, and show them reason and love which is within each heart, then much time might be flowed to confusion.
Always follow your inner intuition when dealing with spiritual teachings, there is no point of going around in circles of past, because if the currents of thoughts keep visiting the past hurts or doubts, then the oceans of purity of tomorrows might not be lived as much as they should be lived. In hope in love in compassion in life in spirituality in YOU.
