It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from; whether you are religious, agnostic or atheist, you are Spiritual.
What does Spiritual mean?
Spirituality is not what you do. It is not what you believe or disbelieve. Spirituality is not a creed, a sect, or a lifestyle.
Spirituality is.
Life is.
Spirituality is life. Life is living.
But not all of us are living life.
Many don’t even know what it is to ‘live’ and thus many are so out of tune of who and what they are as a spiritual being that we wake up every morning in mental anguish, depression, anxiety, and general malaise.
Unfortunately, waking up like this is starting to be considered ‘normal’ as our society has identified any myriad of ways to justify feeling like shit all the time. Excuse my French 😉
In today’s world, everyone suffers everything.
Have you noticed this?
We suffer things we cannot control like the weather, traffic, or the big three: illness, old-age and death.
We suffer things we can control like our thoughts and emotions.
We suffer other people when they mistreat us or ignore us and we suffer other people when they aren’t even physically with us by remembering past traumas and painful experiences.
We suffer our jobs, paying bills, socializing, being alone, eating too much cake, eating vegetables, exercising, not exercising, taking care of others, or not being responsible for anyone or anything. The list is endless.
Many feel they have no life purpose and therefore feel very separate from everyone and everything as if somehow a title or a particular action or ‘do-ing’ would deem you worthy of being who you already are.
But telling people that you are already deserving and worthy of living joyfully for no reason isn’t an easy pill to swallow for most people because they have been told you must do something, be something, have something, achieve something, something, something, something, in order to feel joyful.
Thus, most if not all people put a qualification on being joyful. They cannot simply be joyful for no reason – that would be crazy, right?
Everything in life can be suffered if seen through the lens of negativity. Everything.
Likewise, everything in life can be joyful and blissful because it is not the outside circumstances that dictate your state of being but your conscious response to life that determines your bliss and joy.
The simple truth is that we have lost touch with our divinity, our spirituality, our sense of Be-ing.
We don’t know who or what we are because we haven’t taken the time to ask ourselves this fundamental question.
We unconsciously give our power away to our parents, doctors, bosses, authority figures, media, and social and cultural norms. We look to the outside to tell us how to feel inside.
Hence, no one knows who or what they truly are. Even worse, if you were to be left alone for just a few hours you’d go crazy without constant stimulus or entertainment to continually flood your attention.
Can you even fathom sitting outside with nature for an hour doing absolutely nothing? No texting, no googling, no taking selfies or pictures, no interacting with insects or birds, no thinking, no wishing, no hoping, no praying, no reminiscing, no imagining.
Just Be-ing.
Can you do this for even 10 minutes?
This is called meditation and meditation is the art of BEING.
Ravi Shankar, an enlightened yogi from the East calls meditation: “I want nothing. I do nothing. I am nothing.”
Spirituality is not a belief system nor is it a way to live life. You are LIFE.
The irony is that the life that you are is not in tune with the greater limitless life that is everywhere around us.
Spiritual Coaching is about empowering you to live in the present moment, learn to see reality with clarity and higher awareness.
Allowing outside circumstances to dictate how you think and feel is slavery.
Consciously choosing how you respond is freedom.
Being joyful every moment for no reason is my reality everyday and it can be yours too as you are no different from me.
