Becoming More Spiritually Aware
Easy Ways to Begin Exploring and Expanding Your Own Spirituality
To learn more about spiritual methods and practices, do you know how to begin? Here's a simplified approach to get you started toward your own future enlightenment.
Higher Chakric Layers. Oversoul Consolidation. Tantric Balancing. Kundalini Awakening. Deeksha.
It's no wonder so many are turned off by the mere suggestion of looking into alternative spirituality philosophies and techniques. The buzz words alone are enough to make the average person run and put a pillow over his or her head.
Sadly, one of the most negative aspects the bright spotlight on metaphysics over the course of the last 20 years has caused a substantial number of the world’s population to get entirely the wrong idea about venturing into those realms where spiritual enlightenment and personal awareness lie.
For instance, the belief that alternative spirituality involves all kinds of weird obscure beliefs. (It doesn’t.) Or that you'll suddenly start hearing supernatural voices and get yourself in so deep by exploring your own spiritual essence that you'll lose yourself in the process. (You won’t.) Or even that you'll get so obsessed with way-out teachings that you start sacrificing livestock for good luck or worshipping crazy symbols and idols on a daily basis. (Nope, not by a long shot.)
Taken slowly, your own spiritual journey won’t involve anything so heavy, ominous or the least bit bizarre. You won’t be bombarded with a complicated mix of buzz words that essentially mean nothing until you have ventured into the subject far enough to learn precisely how to grasp these complex concepts.
If the thought of even tip-toeing into new fields of spiritual study causes you to break out in a sweat or leads you instantly to think, "I can’t do this, it’s too left field for me,” it just might be time to take a closer, more concentrated look while giving these unconventional philosophies centered on tapping into your own consciousness and place within the Universe on the spirit level a chance to grow on you.
To get your feet wet, try:
Learning to experience the power of your own visualizations.
For instance, sit quietly and visualize yourself actively engaged in the work - your true calling - which you know from deep inside your heart you were put on this earth to do. Genuinely see yourself in this capacity and feel the sense of achievement and personal fulfillment it brings you.
Draw in a huge breath and hold it as you visualize lifting in your hands a multi-faceted gold bar above your head that captures and reflects intense shafts of sunlight in all directions around you. Hold that bar in your hands above your head and take several deep breaths as you feel its vibrancy and experience the intense power of those shafts of sunlight.
Watch and see what happens in the days and weeks to come. The right opportunity designed to take you away from the unrewarding job you are currently in will suddenly present itself as if by magic, turning you in the direction you want your professional life most to take.
Experiment with simple meditation techniques. Here’s a good start.
Explore transforming your own personality by getting in touch with your individual "sub-personalities."
How many sub-personalities do you have? What do they have to say about you and the life you're living? The answers to these questions can be startling and enormously helpful in helping us guide our lives toward happiness and fulfillment in the future.
Studying new and different spiritual techniques and beliefs doesn’t mean that you lose yourself to a bunch of half-baked ideas but rather that you find yourself by exploring the reaches of your own spiritual being. Think of it as merely experimenting with new ideas that aren't focused on any one religion but on learning new ways to expand your own spiritual horizons toward happiness and fulfillment in the future.
