With body and spirit fully known and understood—that they are separate yet one—balance and alignment may be achieved. While in the world of the living it is important to pay attention to both body and spirit as separate yet whole, for they are capable of acting independently, yet it is best when they act in concert with one another. To be in good alignment is to pay attention to the needs of both, to not overdo or over-express one at the expense of the other, and to give each their necessary nurturance.
Nurture your energy with sustainable sustenance rather than with that which merely pleases. Far better to seek moderation and consistency than to overdue or overextend in any way. A moderate lifestyle encompasses everything in small amounts, creating satisfaction and balance so that all parts of the self are happy and contented. Nurture yourself, body and spirit, in this moderate way. Through a practice of moderation both body and spirit will not only happily survive but also blissfully thrive!
Do a reset when body and spirit are out of synch with each other, out of sorts and misaligned, unable to find each other. Dial back activities and consume less so that the body finds its center again and the spirit finds its home there once again, within the physical. Breathe and let nature become your place of solace. Find peace in nature and bring it within until you feel at one again, whole within the self, until you feel aligned once again. Body and spirit in alignment is a state of perfect health.
What is the spiritual purpose of the coronavirus? We ask this question as a new variant, given the name of the Greek letter, Omicron, descends upon us.
Spirit is the purest, most rarified subtle energy intent behind physical reality. Spirit intent is encoded in DNA and in the subconscious programs that attract and solidify energy into the physical forms that we are and know ourselves to be.
Nothing exists that is not, at its most subtle core, spirit. Spirit is housed in the subtle body called the soul, just as the soul inhabits the physical body during its earthly sojourn. As one spiritually progresses, one’s consciousness lives in evermore subtle bodies of spirit.
Spiritual evolution is accomplished through the successful passing of tests at various soul body stages. While in human form the soul body is symbiotically attached to the physical body, thus much of the spiritual tests in human form occur in relation to the physical plane. Someone may have to deal with a debilitating illness; someone else may have to overcome extreme shyness; someone else may have to confront rejection, abandonment, or deep loss.
The greatest test in human form, however, is to bridge spirit truth with physical life. Spirit truth, first and foremost, knows that everything that exists is part of an indivisible whole. At a physical level, we appear as distinct separate objects; at a spiritual level we are all one.
The spiritual challenge of our time is to raise our consciousness to a higher level of truth and embrace actions that bring our interdependent physical whole into harmony and balance. To accomplish this we must overcome our separatist illusions that deny our deeper spiritual truth of oneness.
While in human form we are all holograms of Gaia, Mother Earth. Our separatist behaviors, which have thrown Gaia into disarray, have been our own process of coming to know ourselves, enacted through a system of differentiation from each other, a necessary developmental step.
However, differentiation is but the prelude to union. That which has been distinguished must find its way back to its wholeness, filled with new knowledge of self, gained through self-exploration. Greater consciousness is then rejoined with its greater wholeness.
The appearance of Omicron is rocking our very fragile sense of freedom and mobility. Something greater is being asked of us than simply a return to normalcy. Yes, we so want our freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but we must raise these values to physical expression according to higher spiritual truth.
The freedom to travel and interact with the entire physical world is being transmuted to the spiritual level of truly caring for and loving everyone, and everything, in this world. Accepting physical limitation elevates spiritual connectedness.
Our collective spirit has landed in this physical world to bring the Earth into greater spiritual harmony. Symbiotically, our individual spirits are themselves being raised to higher soul body states, as we pass the tests presented in this physical world.
Progression is the ultimate law of spirit. Astrologically, both Pisces and Aquarius have Omicron stars in their constellations. For Pisces, it’s a big yellow star, for Aquarius a blue one. We have moved now from 2100 years of Pisces domination into the Age of Aquarius.
Pisces represents the goddess and god of love, Aphrodite and Eros, bound together as two fish in the sea, hiding out from the destructive shadow of Typhon, the personification of violent volcanic forces. Love has been safely protected in the time of Pisces but now is being challenged to rise out of the protective sea into the air of greater spiritual realization, into the water jug of Aquarius, the water bearer.
With such exposure, love cannot help but encounter its shadow in Typhon, cruel and power hungry. This is the collective test of our time, to overcome and absorb Typhon through the purest of rarified love.
Fear not this time of testing. Take full advantage of opening to loving all that you hate. Join with the water bearer in raising the spiritual level of self and world. It’s not about seeking love but all about being love. That’s the transformation that our times call for.
When you open your heart to loving, you become a loving being. And when you are love, you become fully available to love as well.
Continue to make decisions that are in alignment with your spirit but also in alignment with your physical body, for if your physical self is not kept in tiptop shape your spirit will have difficulty reaching you. When the needs of your physical self are overpowering, your spirit gets lost in the muck. Keep your whole self in good order, body and spirit, so that there is no lack in communication, activity level, or mental calmness. When in good alignment you will know it by the serenity of your whole body.
