What is the role of spirituality in today’s day and age in daily life?
Would you say that you consider yourself spiritual or is that for someone else? Do you wonder about meditation, what it is and its power and benefits? Or are you a daily meditator yourself?
Where do you fit on a spectrum? Where would you place yourself? What does spirituality mean anyhow? It can mean so very many different things to each of us. What does it mean for you?
Are you or have you ever look for or pondered what is the purpose of life? What is the meaning of life or what is the purpose of your life personally? What are you here to do? What is your role? These are the questions that are bigger deeper questions. They are not questions from our logical mind. These are questions from the heart and soul.
Some traditions do not even believe that we have a soul, let alone that we would have several incarnations, that we would have multiple life times. This is all fine. Everyone is perfectly allowed to believe whatever they choose.
Most people do however believe that there is a power greater than ourselves as individual beings. By the mere fact that we have the law of gravity. This is part of the power Mother Earth has, our planet earth has. What about the universal powers, how the whole solar system works, let alone countless planets, galaxies and universes! What makes all of these work?
“In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body” ~ Barbara De Angelis
What about the saying, what goes around comes around. What if all life was governed by universal laws and universal principles? To understand, to begin to understand some of these universal laws and universal principles is to understand that we as human beings are indeed significant part of this and countless universes.
Human being can be considered as the “small universe” within the bigger universe. Have you ever wondered how the human body knows how to function? What makes every single organ do its job? What about every cell or every cell unit? How do they know how to function individually and collectively?
All of them carry information. The same information exists everywhere in every universe. This is how now science has done research and studies and been able to prove some spiritual concepts like the power of meditation. How plants feel when a human being walks into a room whether they are happy, angry or sad. This shows our connectedness. This shows how we are not separate, isolated from other forms of life.
“Spirituality is not a formula; it is not a test. It is a relationship. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection; it is about connection. The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives” ~ Mike Yaconelli
Ancient teaching and wisdom is that a human being has two lives: physical life and spiritual life. The purpose of the physical life is to serve the spiritual life. Therefore, comes the yearning to understand the purpose of life.
In 2003 August 8th, a new face in evolution began - an era called the Soul Light Era. This is the era, the time where we move beyond the mind over matter and we come to manifest more and more “soul over matter”.
Today we can find countless teachers talking about the soul, the spirit, the essence, higher self and many more names. They are names for the part our soul that knows the purpose for our physical life and our journey, what we have come to do here.
When we experience the moment that we start searching for answers, some more eagerly than others – these are the moments however long or however short they are, that our soul is starting to prevail through our heart to the mind, to the conscious mind that we even realise that we are having these thoughts or that we are feeling perhaps, dissatisfied unfulfilled in our lives and we are looking for that something more. In this time the soul is the boss and the soul is the director. When we start seeking, we start to seek the path of the truth for our lives. How we do that is everyone’s choice and there are such myriad ways to do this.
“Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention” ~ Deepak Chopra
Some people look for meditation and there are so many kinds of meditation. Mindfulness is such a movement nowadays focusing on the present moment how we are feeling, what is happening. What if there was further higher level of consciousness and access that we can reach.
Some people utilise yoga, tai chi, qi gong as an expression of their spirituality in this life. Some people turn to religion, whatever religion that is. Some people connect to their essence to the universe through music. Some use dance. Some want to understand intellectually all the secrets and in this way experience expansive states of being.
This is the path of awakening to the life bigger that meets the physical eye. Spirituality provides us with connection, connectedness for our physical journey. It is the aspect of life and wisdom that surpasses the logical mind.
The benefits that we can gain are deeper sense of purpose, belonging, knowing inwardly, satisfaction, fulfilment, contentment, happiness and joy. Our soul, our spirit, our essence, has the power to heal, to transform, to rejuvenate, to bless, to provide us access to wisdom, knowledge and experience.
I invite you to open your mind, your consciousness, your heart and soul to the life bigger than meets the eye. Follow the nudges to explore bigger things and meaning.
May you live a life of soulfulness.
I love my heart and soul.
I love all humanity.
Join hearts and souls together.
Bring love peace and harmony.
Bring love peace and harmony.
With love and light,
Master Mirva
