Have you ever spoken with someone and felt that you were on two different wave lengths or thinking you are speaking two different languages? People’s perceptions are like that on a grand level. Perceptions are attained through our parents, friends, readings, religious practices, world situations, in fact through everything that is in our life from our beginning! Words carry images, feelings, and energies that either resonate with you or repel you based on your perception.

This, of course, means that we are subject to perceptions based on emotions or educational/cultural background. Emotionally based perceptions are reactions to a situation that is lived over through association to the fear, joy, anxiety, pain, or excitement.

Holism, energy medicine, spirituality, and meditation are words that can create reactive perceptions opening up or closing off someone to the exploration of a different lifestyle.

So many people ask me about changes in their lives and the confusion of needing to make decisions of lifestyle shifts. Change brings with it the challenge of staying the same or making decisions for a grander fulfillment through life experiences. People are not content to sit still in these rapidly changing times.

These changes are often felt as a force from within us. Jobs, relationships, home locations, careers are some of the enormous changes that we are facing frequently. The turmoil within to not live the same old way doing the same old things becomes paramount and pushes us through the inability to move ahead and before you know it change has been made.

We begin our personal growth in just this simple way. Nothing can stay the same because we are not the same. When we accept this, that personal growth is simply allowing our lives and habits to change for a greater inner fulfillment, then and only then do we feel relief and balance. I am not saying it is not an easy process but process is the best way to change from the inside out, the Feng Shui of our emotional selves so to speak. The de-cluttering of “piles” of old emotions and habits promote inner exploration and open your higher inner guidance of your soul.

Why do I mention your soul? It is the guiding force within us that elevates us to be kinder, considerate, giving, and truthful and accountable. This is the starting point of spirituality in our life.

I mentioned before that spirituality is one of those words that can create some discomfort. The discomfort is because it is often misperceived to be a religious philosophy or even cultish!

As Holistic Practitioners and doctors integrate these approaches to health and wellness, the word spiritual is more easily accepted. It is including that part of ourselves that can be as off balance as our physical is with disease. If we are not aligned to what is our deepest meaning of life, then we are prone to ill health on our mental, emotional, or physical levels.

There is practicality to spirituality that is as easy as the breath we take. The decisions we make without the reactions of fear or anger or resentment begin to bring us into a more meaningful and successful outcomes. We become spiritual!

Be aware, not afraid, of this word spirituality- live it breathe it and enjoy it because it brings with it an inner peace through the development of our inner powers. We become our own healers when we understand the workings of our soul in our daily lives.

To quote Del Pe, author of Inner Powers to Maximize Your Performance, “The most successful people are those who are able go the extra mile in effort and spend more time doing the most important things that being the greater value to life.”
