7 Spiritual Lessons I Learned

7 Spiritual Lessons I Learned


By Cheryl A. Chatfield, Ph.D.





1. Accept Other Dimensions.



This is not the only reality. This world and death are not the only options. Other worlds, other places exist. There are other dimensions. And we know that. Listen to that knowing.



2. Heal Psychologically as well as Spiritually.



We have the responsibility to heal ourselves in order to evolve. That healing, however, is not only spiritual. Too often we forget to address our emotional problems before concentrating on a higher level. Both are important. Ignoring relationship issues, drug and alcohol problems, or anger concerns will not allow us to progress on a spiritual plane.



3. Choose a Spiritual Practice and make a Commitment.



We can choose any spiritual practice that is appropriate to us, not one forced on us by convention or others insisting their way is the right one. Whether it is meditation, spiritual study, spiritual movement, or some other practice, there is a one that will assist in your growth once you identify and observe it.



4. Find Tools to Connect to the Universal Database.



We can learn to use The Akashic Records, Astrology, the pendulum, kinesiology, or other methods to help our spiritual quest. While some, such as astrology, require years of study, others are easy to learn and accessible ways to find answers in the search for our truth. These tools are available to everyone and are no longer the domain of only a select few. Books and materials are available to assist anyone.



5. Be Your Own Teacher.



There is much debate about finding a spiritual teacher. In many instances and for many people, this is an important and necessary step. Do not fall into the belief, however, that this is a requirement. Many people find a different route through books and study that become the teacher. We each have the power within to evolve. Use your own ability to determine the correct route. Do not be overly influenced by others.



6. Balance the Masculine and Feminine within.



Too often we neglect the two sides within us. We become dominated by our left, rational brain that reinforces our masculine side, or we allow our right, nonlinear brain to override and allow the feminine to rule. Neither works, whether we are male or female. We need to honor and identify with both our masculine and feminine qualities.



7. Trust Your Messages.



Develop a confidence in the messages you receive. Often these are inspirations during the day, perhaps a gentle nudging toward a particular path or a strong sense that we need to devote time to some activity, person or study. We all know that voice or urging within that demands attention. Listen to it. Trust the information when it feels right. Trust your chosen path.
