How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

Dear Sally

well we have all been there at some time in our lives.

spirituality and self development is an on-going process of evolvement

continued development achieves sustainability of peace of mind and that feeling of bliss

until you decide what you would like to do next, I recommend a Reiki Healing Course

for the time being try getting in the 'being' space

being rather then doing

to truly be in the 'being' eliminate all thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow, just be in the 'present moment' and continue with your meditation.

It will be possible for you to sustain that state of being as you move further forward on your pathway.

Onwards and upwards raising your vibration

Oh Sally It's definitely time to do the simple exercises on but ensure that you have 1 - 2hrs quiet "ME TIME" before you even begin.
This experience has left me with a direct line to 'The Other Side' I feel so blessed & now wish to share this with everyone I meet!
ENJOY!:)

PS: I didn't get to see my spirit helpers & guides but hey, that's not what's important here either as long as I receive their messages, that's all that counts for me!

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

Hello Sally,

Yes, the 'high' from spiritual meditation does wear off, but it can be regained. Laying on of hands healing is good, or Reike healing, as long as it suits you. As you begin to feel balanced, then the feelings of spirituality will return. However, you are human and live in the real world, and will experience all the emotions and worries that humans feel - that doesn't stop, more's the pity! But if you have a more open and special insight into why things happen, then this will be your true spirituality coming through.

Belssings, Pats.

Dear Sally
I know exactly what you mean - for six months of the year at least, I live in India, in a 'spiritual' community. coming back to England is always difficult as I consider it the 'real' world ie the unspiritual world where I have to worry about money and income tax and paying the bills. However, this Summer I have been able to hang on to more spiritual energy than before and partly that's to do with finding this forum, and realising that there really are a lot of us around! But this is 8 years into my spiritual path - it didn't happen overnight....just remember that nothing ever stays the same...just be alert and be ready for the next signpost along your path. Love is in the air.....

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

I live in New York City. As you can imagine, it's really easy not to be spiritual because of the fast pace one needs to keep up with the busy demands we all have who live in a major city. Personally, I try to keep my spirituality as I go about my daily business. I look at people closely and try to "feel" what they feel. I look at the birds and the trees and thank the Gods for their presence and how they make me feel. I look at the buildings and bridges and thank the Gods for making us intelligent enough to create these things. Look at life through the eyes of a child where everything is brand new and awesome. See and feel the awesome power everyday.

Here's an example of how my spirituality was lifted one day: I take the subway (underground train) to work every morning. Amid the hustle and bustle of trains coming and going, I noticed a bird walking along the platform, unaware of what was going on. And then it flew away -- and this bird was underground, mind you. Seeing this bird fly over the trains but underneath the "ceiling" of the station brought such joy to my life that I almost cried.

Sure, you'll need to work harder to get spiritual in your everyday life, but it does happen. Be patient and continue your meditation. Soon you'll learn to find the spirituality you are seeking. Good luck in your journey!

Blessed Be!

Thank you everyone for your idea`s you are all an inspiration and I will try to take everything on board.:)

I am trying to learn a bit about crystals so I carry a few with me now and when I feel things are too much I will rub my crystals to remind me of my spiritual journey.[sm=newangel.gif]

HI Sally

I have found yoga incredibly powerful for exactly that reason - by doing some each morning I am starting my day with a real sense of peace and awareness, which stays with me for hours. I am only sorry that it has taken me so long to discover it !
But I know that it has come into my life at the right moment, which is why it is so extraordinary for me.
I was told a year ago to start it, but chose not to, and now I have - wow. Perhaps it would work as well for you too.

Love and blessings,

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

Sally,

Change your eyes and see Spirit in everything that is.

Change your mind and understand that Spirit is not something 'out there' or 'up there' but is everything that makes up your world.

Change your focus and listen to your heart rather than what others say.

Change your expectations and acknowledge that Spirit is you.

Change your knowing and express love, which is the essence of Spirit, to all.

Spirituality is merely the attempt to BE unconditional love on earth.

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

Hi sally
I seems to me that you may be more comfortable with animals and the outdoor, as the last email stated that you will find spirit inside not outside ourselves, but we also can become addicted to too much spiritual thinking, everyone on this planet has some form of addiction, eating, drininking, smoking, drugs, abuse, swearing, lying the list is endless and we sometimes have to comeback into reality to have our experiances, for which we have come here for.

I would suggest that you sit in your quite not meditating and ask what you actually would like to do with your life, and the first thing that comes into your head, or your innerself, would be a start of something that will make you happy.
As you aleady know to be spirtitual it is in thought word and deed so start to enjoy yourself, start doing what makes you happy it is not a sin, because only you have the power to do this no one else only you so start today.
hope you create what you are looking for.

God Bless

Hi Sally
Everything I could say to you, I've already posted on Fiona's thread pertaining to her missing beliefs:)
I truly hope that you can 'identify' your concerns soonest ... because we ALL have it, we ALL have God in us, but many either don't feel nor experience His presence, because most don't wish to delve deeper!
I don't go to church ... simply because mine's inside me.

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

I know that feeling too of missing the heighten feeling of peace we have to find those areas of thought out there which can touch our souls everyday, for me the Tao has given great words of inspiration and thoughts as well as many other inspiration quotes and well thought out writing on life, I have been able to meditate upon them when I feel I am straying or been bogged down by all we have to deal with.
This may help from the Tao:
Can you coax your mind from wandering and keep to original oneness?
Can you let your body become supple as a newborn child?
Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but light?
Can you love people and lead them without imposing your will?
Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take there course?
Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things.

Giving birth and nourishing,
having without possessing,
acying with no expectations,
leading and not trying to control,
this is supreme virtue.

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

I think spirituality is probably little to do with being attached to states of being, such as your 'spiritual high'. Getting the feling when you are in nature, suggests to me that you may need to follow your nature more, and be less attached to becoming 'spiritual', paradoxically this is probably a great spiritual way... When you say 'get the feeling and keep it', you are showing an attitude of trying to hold onto a state... 'The Tao which cannot be said, cannot be gotten";)

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

The thing about being spiritual is that it isn't just about being away from it all and achieving peace, floating like a small fluffy hippo above a grassy hill in the sunshine. Being spiritual is about making the right decisions in everyday life... for instance, some numpty in his £45k BMW cuts you up in rush hour traffic, no signalling, no apologetic wave, he just expects you to brake hard and get out of his way. You can now tailgate him for the next 2 miles and remembering the annoying issue for the next 20 minutes, getting yourself nicely worked up, or send him loving thoughts in the hope that his currently bad day will get better (or reasoning that he made such a dangerous manoeuvre because he's late for work and you can hope that his intimidating boss won't shout at him for being late again). To me, that is being spiritual.

RE: How do I get that spiritual feeling back?

Keep the way you react to all things simple, and believe that anything is possible anywhere, anytime.

For example, you may have complicated things when you lost the spiritual feeling.

And you may have lost the possibility to believe that the same feeling can return to you.

Open the idea that the feeling will return, and believe in that idea 100%.

Keep it simple, focus your mind only on the positive spiritual. This will help clear your mind of complications (which mask spirit).

Let me know if that helped you.
