How to find your Spirituality~

I get asked this all the time... "Meichelle, am I on the right Path? -- Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?" and "How do I find my Spirituality?"

The answer my friends is this: Yes. Simple as that... Yes, you are on the right path. Yes you are where you should be.. Right here... Right now... Right this very moment.

When I talk of Spirituality, I am not just talking about religion. Religion is only but a part of Spirituality. Spirituality is on a much bigger plane.. Spirituality to me, is The Universe.. That God source that lives within each and every of us. That full blown energy of all energies... After all.. We are all energies in and of ourselves and in and of the God source.

In order to find the God source within yourself.. You must look inside. Look deep within yourself.. After all.. You know *you* better than anyone does. Its that life force.. That conscious knowing.. That "gut" feeling.

Ask yourself this.... What fits for you? What doesnt fit?? One of my motto's when it concerns this is: "Take what you need, leave the rest behind". Meaning... Take what fits for you.. And if it doesnt fit, if it doesnt feel right to you... Then its not for you. That doesnt mean its wrong.. Or that you're wrong.. Or that the next person is wrong. It means simply, it doesnt fit for you. Nothing wrong with that.

There is no right and wrong ways to be Spiritual. What works for you, may not work for someone else and vise versa. Its being in tune with yourself.. And in being in tune with yourself and your inner self... That Balance... You will find your inner soul. Let me make this clear... Spirituality doesnt happen over night. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, years... To get to a place where you feel absolutely comfortable with yourself and your inner being... Or for some, making peace with that inner brat.

However, it is absolutely essential to be in tune with your inner self. Once you can be in tune with your own energies, it allows you to be in tune with the God Source energy... Make sense??

This can not happen without you doing any sort of "homework" on yourself... This can not happen if you dont look, if you dont try.. If you dont put the work into it.. This is work my friends.. Its working on our souls to advance to the next higher level.

And there are levels.. Levels of awareness.. Levels of Spiritual awareness. Some find it early on in life.. Right off the bat, others take a long time to find it.. Still others may never find it. The ones that do not find it ever, are the ones that are not true to themselves and or to their God Source. Nothing wrong with that either... So long as they are comfortable with it. As I said, there are not right and wrong ways.

But you can not wish for something so hard and not put work into it. You can not pray for something so hard and expect it to be handed to you.. If this was the case, then every one would have those winning lottery numbers. What Im saying is if you want it, theres got to be appreciation for it in some way. God.. Or The Universe.. Is not going to give you something if you didnt appreciate it. It doesnt work like that.

Even in our hardest moments... As much as we dont like that particular lesson.. One must some how walk away with some type of appreciation.. After all, no matter how hard the moment.. They are still all lessons. And just because something doesnt work out, or you have a bad day, or if someone says something that you disagree with... You still learn from that do you not?? You learn not just from that bad day.. But you learn other things as well..

Lets take this deeper.. If say, for example.. You're having a bad day.. And you walk away with it feeling... Well Ive learned not to do such and such or I learned not to trust or not do or whatever the case may be...

Look further. Take a step back and ask yourself... "Why did that happen to begin with? What is the silver lining in this? Why did it make me feel the way that it did??" In good or bad for that matter. Learning to appreciate everything, come what may.. Is giant.. Not just appreciating the little things.. But appreciating everything. The All of everything. Appreciate waking up in the morning, appreciate the air you breath, appreciate the life that you have, the loves that are in your life.. And yes... Even the losses... Even the hardships...

Hardships are there to make one stronger. A lot of people dont understand this. You cant teach... What you do not know... In other words... If you have not been at that place to begin with... How can you help another?? Also..... When we are struggling.. That is when we are learning the most. If we did not have that struggle, we wouldnt get anything out of it. If you're handed $100 you appreciate being handed $100.. But if you work for it, and you deserve it.. Then you appreciate it even more so. Make sense?? If you can appreciate the little things, it makes you appreciate the bigger things even more so.

So I guess what Im saying here is in part to be Spiritual, and to find your Spiritual path... One must A) Work for your desires.. B) Look at everything, appreciate everything, even your losses and C) Learn to love yourself...

Asalam Alakim my friends...
