As a follow on to my blog on mindfulness, one of the important things that I have come to realise in recent months is the importance of listening to our own inner wisdom. We have an amazing feedback mechanism in our bodies that will tell us when we are meandering off our path and yet time and again we do not listen to it and indeed many of us don’t even understand how to listen to it.
How many times have you had a gut feeling about things, not listened to it and then regretted it later on…. I know I have done this on many occasions in the past and even now on occasion I still miss the warning signs that my own inner wisdom is giving me.
There seems to be an innate need in the human race to be accepted and liked and if we don’t follow the ‘norm’ with our thinking then we are made to feel uncomfortable for it and yet when we can connect with ourselves on a soul level we find that we already have the answers that we need.
The truth about love has become distorted. True love isn’t conditional like it has become, it is a pure energy of light that knows no bounds, holds no judgement, is all encompassing and dissolves the darkness within us.
One of the most important things that modern man can do is learn to open his heart and allow the free flow of pure unconditional love not just from his heart centre but to it as well. It may sound like an old cliche but ‘love heals everything’. When we work from the heart with a pure intent ( i.e. that whatever happens will be for the highest good) then we will make huge leaps forward on our spiritual path. When we take the time to go within and connect with and listen to our soul we will be guided in the direction that is for our highest good.
One of the things that I have said and believed for some years now is that we are our own best doctors and on numerous occasions I have heard the words ‘healer heal thyself’. How can we make this world a better place? Well we need to start by taking responsibility for ourselves and our lives and healing ourselves. We cannot change anything around us without going within. If you are surrounded by chaos and negativity then you must look within and heal the chaos and negativity that you are carrying within your energy system in order to change what is going on around you as your outer world is a reflection of whats going on within you. So many people become influenced by others ( and I have done this myself in the past), hanging onto every word as truth and yet it isn’t their own truth. Your truth is what your own soul, your very essence teaches you and that may be different to the truth of others as we create our own realities.
People crave peace and yet they have not realised that they must connect with themselves and the peace within if they want to create it around them and in the world. They have forgotten the spiritual laws and that in fact they create their own reality. They focus on negativity which feeds negativity instead of focusing on the positive. Life on earth can change but it is going to take a long time as people need to realise that they must connect with themselves and heal themselves. They need to realise that they must take responsibility for their life as they have created their reality themselves.
Humanity needs to do is to start listening to themselves and their bodies and realise that they are intelligent beings of love capable of radiating a huge amount of light. When you get an ache or a pain, instead of taking a pain killer connect with that pain and find out what your body is trying to tell you. There is a reason why we experience pain, it is our body’s way of communicating to us that something isn’t right that we are at dis-ease with ourselves. Indeed there is always a reason why we experience any form of illness, there will be something sitting deep within that is causing us to be at di-sease with ourselves which needs to be healed. When we connect with ourselves and our heart centres we are able to connect with the energy of love and true unconditional love will help us to heal everything.
Humanity needs to learn to love unconditionally, starting with him/herself. We cannot truly love others until we learn to love ourselves. So many of us are constantly berating ourselves and criticising ourselves instead of accepting ourselves as we are. When we learn to love ourselves unconditionally there is no room for ego, arrogance, judgement or any other negative emotion. There is just love and compassion and as we learn to work with these two emotions we realise that we are working form a place of love rather than fear. When we work from a place of love our core energy grows and strengthens and then we are able to shine more light. The more light we are able to shine the less we can be affected by negativity but this must not allow us to become complacent because with complacency our vibration will drop and we will once again become susceptible to the lower vibration energies.
Keeping our vibration high is a lifelong experience which includes regular self-healing and being mindful. It also includes listening to our own inner wisdom and following our own guidance. It is about empowering ourselves with humility so that we don’t allow ego to get in the way. Its about realising that we are the masters of our own destiny and that we can create the life we want. Its about recognising that we all have the potential to be amazing beings of love and light helping to heal the earth and create peace but we each need to start with ourselves.
Looking at yourself takes courage, changing yourself is scary but living from the heart with love is a much better place to be in than the fear filled place that most people call life.
We can help Mother Earth to heal and we can change this planet to a planet of peace but first we must listen to our own inner wisdom and heal ourselves.
