Concern for the body is a natural issue but concern for the spirit is often forgotten, neglected, or simply an unacknowledged factor. The body, being so apparent, gets top billing. The rest of who you are needs attention too. Don’t forget that you are so much more than just a physical body, that there are more parts to you than meet the eye. Be in awe, every day, at how so perfectly aligned your spirit is with your body, so much so that you don’t even notice it, how subtly it figures into your daily life. Give it some thought more often. What does it need today? What does it want to do? How does it speak to you?

Sending you love,

It’s often hard to decipher meaning for the mundane, the everyday occurrences that spark little interest and hardly seem to be spiritual in nature. But keep in mind that you are a spiritual being inhabiting a physical body and so everything is of a spiritual nature; even the most mundane task is spiritual in nature because your spiritual self is partaking in it. The question arises, who is having the experience? Can you tell within yourself that it is your spirit that sees through your eyes, that hears through your ears, that speaks through your mouth? If you shift your knowing of yourself to this spirit being that you are, does not life begin to take on greater meaning, even in the most mundane moments?

Pay attention to what your physical body tells you about your habits, decisions and choices. Is it telling you that you are overdoing something, or that you are not taking care of yourself? Your body is your place of residence for your spirit and your completeness for this lifetime. It houses your wholeness, that which you once were and all that you presently are. Honor it, and with gratitude prepare it well for each day so that it is well balanced, satisfied, and kept in good condition. Your creativity requires a physical body that is in good shape in order to blossom. Your spirit respects a body that is flowing and unrestricted by judgments and criticism, while at the same time is held to certain standards so that it functions beautifully. Take time to consider what it really means to be in good shape. It might surprise you to learn what that really means. Be honest, but don’t be so hard on yourself. Go with the flow.

Sending you love,

Care of the physical body is essential to ensure a long and productive life, but care of the spirit and the inner self is equally important for vitality, curiosity and creativity. To be curious about the mysteries of life, and to pursue them, will keep your spirit alive and growing along with your physical prowess. There is no reason not to pay attention to your inner world, for it is the great playing field of the spirit, where it will find what it needs for evolution and transformation. Many people rarely pay attention to the needs of their spirit and live a very extraverted life, seeking what they want in the world outside of themselves, while others look inward for gratification. Your own spirit may direct you to live outwardly or inwardly, seeking where you must. Either way, it grows along with you in its own way.

Sending you love,

Remember to stay grounded in the real world, even as your mind takes you off into fantasy. Groundedness is practical, as it keeps you focused on what needs to be done, where to put your energy, and how to live your life. Groundedness will keep you safe and sound, alert and aware, so that every day is a day you can declare a success. Even while you stay grounded though, remember that you are also a spiritual being with unique energy skills that you can use to heal yourself and to heal the world. In this manner there is a uniqueness to being human that many are not aware of, the power of the human spirit to enact healing within and without. So, even while you stay practical and grounded, explore other possibilities, especially your ability to heal and be healed.
