Personal enlightenment

It revitalises us.

Change can be either revitalising or devitalising and it can be both of these things simultaneously. The major events that bring about change are rarely short lived, although at times they seem cataclysmic, however, the effects of such events continue to work out sometimes over weeks, months, years and decades and in turn we react, adapt and change the way that we define ourselves.

Deep healing is often preceded by traumatic experiences and catastrophic events which often provide the necessary catalyst for healing which occurs at levels far more subtle than the physical, involving energetic configurations that have generally persisted throughout many life times. Freeing the emotional body from cellular memories and illusions within it has a highly beneficial effect on physical functioning, but most profoundly it effects healing on our emotional and mental bodies.

"As a man thinketh, so is he." Our traumas lead us to develop definite beliefs about ourselves and the nature of life and as we begin our spiritual return to the Source, we work to shed these distortions. During this process, even those of us who are deeply committed to our spiritual evolution, struggle against adversity and as a result, what we must remember during our struggle is this:

Always look for the gift in adversitywhat it is teaching us or what we are gaining from it and examine this without indulging in self-pity or blame.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude and be happy about your circumstances, without judging your condition or that of others and avoid being sentimental.

Recognise that disease or hardship is given for a higher purpose and not as a punishment and as such seek opportunities to serve others during times of hardship and learn that even death is a form of healing at a spiritual level.

Every problem is an assignment from your soul, so we must acknowledge that each problem serves a purpose and seek the lesson. From the soul's perspective, a change in consciousness is far more valuable than a cure to a physical manifestation.

Make understanding the object of your quest for answers and believe in the hidden gift underneath the drama until such time as you can see it.

Self pity can become a habit and acts on our consciousness like a drug to which we become addicted providing an excuse for further indulgence. This becomes an extremely effective barrier to spiritual development.

Blaming others for our situation is a self indulgence which prevents us from taking responsibility.
