Introduction:
Welcome to our Thursday chat! I’m thrilled to have you here as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and explore practical spirituality. In today’s post, I want to introduce you to the topics we’ll be delving into during our Thursday conversations. But first, I’d love your input on what we should name our sessions, so please share your thoughts!
Exploring the Nature of Feelings:
One of the common challenges on the spiritual path is understanding our personal feelings. How do we navigate them while striving for unity and oneness? Should we deny or put a positive spin on our emotions? In my upcoming video, I’ll discuss a helpful approach to understanding and owning our feelings, leading to emotional freedom and spiritual growth.
The Correlation Between Freedom and Acceptance:
Have you ever wondered how accepting past events can lead to new possibilities and a sense of freedom? We’ll explore the connection between freedom and allowing what has already happened. We’ll challenge the notion of non-acceptance and delve into the potential of embracing each moment, even in the face of injustice or wrongdoing. Acceptance does not mean we AGREE OR CONDONE the last moment. It means we accept what has already happened, because it has happened. We cannot have a new moment, if we are in a fight or a tug of war with the last moment.
Embracing Visibility in Life:
Many of us desire to contribute and make a difference, but the fear of visibility holds us back. Whether we’re retired and seeking a new mission or an entrepreneur looking to uplevel, we’ll discuss how to overcome the fear of being seen and embrace the visibility necessary to share your gifts with the world.
Pursuing Enlightenment vs. Awakening Awareness:
What’s the difference between pursuing enlightenment and having the experience of awakening awareness? These terms can be mysterious and confusing. In our discussions, we’ll demystify these concepts and explore practical spirituality that can be applied regardless of your spiritual path or beliefs.
Practical Spirituality in Everyday Life:
Practical spirituality is about applying spiritual principles to our daily lives. Regardless of your religious or spiritual affiliation, I’ll share ideas and practices that have helped me on my own journey, especially after the unexpected passing of my daughter. We’ll discuss how to find contentment and live a fulfilling life beyond societal expectations.
Breaking Free from Looping Thoughts and Feelings:
Do you ever find yourself stuck in repetitive thoughts and emotions? We’ll examine the causes of psychological suffering and explore ways to change our experience of life without relying on external circumstances. By understanding our conditioning and the nature of the personal mind with its looping thoughts and feelings, we can break free from old patterns and embrace new possibilities.
Living in the World without Believing You Are of the World:
How can we navigate the world without identifying solely with it? We’ll explore the notion of living in the world but not being of the world, challenging our understanding of what is real and what is illusory. This discussion is crucial for anyone seeking spiritual freedom and a deeper understanding of their true self.
Conclusion:
I’m excited to embark on this journey with you and dive into these thought-provoking topics. Each Thursday, we’ll explore practical spirituality, the “True I or SELF” that is always present, if we know where to focus. These Thursday Musings are meant to help you abide in our true nature which serves to nourish us deeply. I invite you to join me on this path of self-discovery and sign up for our Thursday sessions. Together, let’s uncover the wisdom that leads to true freedom.
