“The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it” – Henry J.M Nouwen
The spiritual world is energy and we are energy. We carry our unique energetic signature and this energetic signature is our identity on the Spiritual Plain, it is how we are recognized.
All of the spiritual practices you can think of are energy work. We can harness and create energy via thought, emotion and action, so our energy signature is influenced by what we think, do and say. Each time we give off an emotional charge, create an energetic imprint and communicate on the spiritual and energetic networks. Of all the ways we can harness or create energy, intent is the strongest as it is thought and action rolled into one, followed by emotion and emotion is the strongest connection and the most honest. We can trigger emotional responses using words, thought and action.
As we venture out into the spiritual super highway, we want to keep our energy as pure, clear and reflective of our true self as possible, in this way we attract what we need. So, I have put together some foundation skills we need to add to our spiritual toolbox. As we move along our Soul Journey and Spiritual Path developing our spiritual connection, it is wise to revisit our skill sets often and bring them up to speed with our more harmonic energy signature.
Intent is a harmony of thought, words, emotion and action. It is a blending of heart and mind. Your statement of intent must be honest and true.
Each of us must own and develop our own intent and statement of intent with respect to Soul / Higher Self and the Universal Consciousness. It is purpose, it is reason, and it must resonate with our true self and be a recognized reflection of who we are and to bring forth what is on our path.
Earthing is a process of binding our spiritual self to this realm, our physical bodies. It is where we can use different talismans to help keep us safe and to keep the connection to the body. As we venture into other dimensions and travel on the Spiritual Highway, we must remember that we are human, and we belong here on earth in our 3D body and life.
Each of us must come up with our own talisman, which can be stone, crystal essences, image, or a combination of them. We will know what our earth talisman is as we will immediately comprehend the relationship and it will speak to you.
Binding is the process of ensuring that after we have had our spiritual connection or our trips into the spirit realms, that we come back and fully integrate. It does not happen naturally; we need to practice this phenomenon. It is making sure that what we learn and understand, we integrate into who we are and our journey. It also helps us keep our energetic, spiritual and human self integrated so that we are not fragmented. We are whole beings after all, so we will need to develop a ritual practice that we can trust to keep us safe.
Contracts are the agreements our soul has with our guides, guardians and our travelling companions which govern what we are and are not willing to undertake. With our guides, masters and preceptors (teachers), these contracts will be about the pace & timing of learning.
Cleansing is the process of keeping our space and our energy signature sacred for our purist intent. Our spirit and the energies are not solid, but fluid. Think of our energy fields as having a viscosity, with an osmotic tendency. It is open to the influence of other energies and can merge and assimilate with other energy signatures. Some of which will enhance and raise our natural signature vibration and some of which, will lower it.
Each of us must have our own cleansing ritual which will keep our space clear and clean. This ritual should be used as part of your everyday practice.
Our practices should grow with us.
As you begin yours, start with an established process that you can relate to and easily apply, then as you learn you can develop your own practices. Part of spiritual development is internalizing the learning, so remember to sit and take time to reflect on your experiences.
