Do you ever just sit outside, gaze off into the sky, feel the breeze against your skin, take a deep breath and then just….. feel at peace?  Well that is exactly what it is like to tap into your spirit.

Now we all know we have a spirit and we all know our pure emotions are connected to that spirit, but how do we set aside the conscience brain and “programming” and just feel what it is our spirit is telling us?

Well, we start with these easy reminders:

1. Does it feel right?  Your spirit always knows before your conscience mind does if a situation is not right. Some people call it your “gut”, others call it an “instinct” but no matter what you call it, it is your spirit talking.   Today I saw a great saying on facebook:  “Never discredit your gut instinct. You are not paranoid. Your body can pick up on bad vibrations. If something deep inside of you says something is not right, trust it.” ~ Spirit Science.
2. Does it make me happy?  Your spirit is the essence of you. You are an energy made from love. Universal karma happens to you because your energy attracts that into your life. So for the universe to attract good energy to you, you need to put out good energy.  Happiness isn’t about what things you have, who likes you, what you’re doing… no, happiness comes from taking a moment to yourself and smiling within because you know yourself. You know your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions are all in your control. Some call it “emotional maturity”.
3. Am I thinking/doing this for something other then love? Basically, if it isn’t to grow love then it is driven by your mind not your spirit. Now there is nothing wrong with you using your mind. In fact, you can not survive without it. But this is about tapping into your spirit more to find balance in your world.

So here are the benefits for truly knowing your spirit:

1. Health.  Yes it is an actual fact that using meditation techniques can improve your health. What do you think meditation is? It is tapping into your spirit and getting balanced. 🙂
2. Stress.  The things that stress you out are because you are worried about the outcome. When you tap into your spirit you know that the universe delivers exactly what it is suppose to and when (corny yes I know) but having a connection to yourself on that level means you know that the things you’re stressing over aren’t worth it and the things that are worth it wont turn out the way you want if you stress over them.
3. Intimacy. Since I have younger readers I wont go into details. BUT when you are truly in tune with your spirit you will move beyond the physical appearance and physical pleasures onto a new level with not only your spirit but your partners as well. ❤

So what is it like for me you ask when I am outside or sitting at the window? I love it. Sometimes I listen to the nature sounds around me, sometimes I just breath in and out while calming myself, sometimes I think about how vast our universe is and all the possibilities that await, and sometimes I use it as a time to tap into spirits that are no longer in a physical form. Now before you start getting all “uigi boards and witchcraft” on me let me explain that last one.  Spirits are an energy, energy never dies, so when a spirit is no longer attached to a body it is an everlasting energy. And the little we know about energy is it can be tapped into.

I lost my Daddy & my Grandma within a year of each other and there are times where I need to feel their love & guidance for me.  SO I stare at the clouds, breath in, and allow that energy of my Dad or Grandma to surround me. Instantly I feel them and instantly I feel at peace.

I meditate daily and I encourage you to as well. It doesn’t have to be a long process, take 10 minutes, or 5, or even 2 minutes to breath in the air and center yourself. While you’re driving to work, or walking to check the mail, or sitting in the living room and have a window near by. Tap into your spirit to see how you’re doing, how you’re feeling, what happened in your world today, OR what you want this day to FEEL like (you aren’t in control of others actions so the day is subject to everyone you interact with, but no one can control how you feel).

Moving forward, enjoy your spirit because it is going to be with you forever!
