Accessing Your Deeper Self

When people ask me what is our spirit I say that it is the "deepest part of us, the deepest part of who we are".  When I talk about spirituality I refer to the part of us that is most sacred and our heart center.  I believe that our spirit is located in our heart.  Our heart is the most sensitive and loving place inside of us, hence it makes sense that our spirit is in our heart.  Some of us believe we don't have a spirit and I have to disagree.  I think that each of us has a spirit and that the difference is that some have not acknowledged it or accessed it.  It is there whether we believe it or not.  Accessing our spirit is work and it is intentional work.  Our spirit comes forth through our intention for it to come forth.  There are many ways to access the our spirit, the deepest part of our being.  Here are some:

Invite Your Child Out to Play: 
One sure way of accessing your spirit is to access your inner child and invite that child out to play and feel safe to express.  I did this the other day by purchasing some matching cards for five dollars at a local store.  I was so excited when I found the cards and just loved the pictures on the cards, different from others I have seen.  At first I put the box of cards back and then I put it back in the cart.  My joy level went up as soon as I placed them back in the cart and even happier when I got home.  I opened the box, touched the cards and then played with them for a while.  Every step of the way I became more and more joyful.  Then I decided to make some Valentine decorations for the windows next to my front door.  I got the stickers and the construction paper and fancy cutting scissors and started slowly.  At first I was not as enthusiastic as I thought I would be but as time passed I got into more and more.  My level of joy increased with each display I completed.  It was so much fun but moreover it accessed my inner child and my spirit.  When we invite our inner kid to come out and play we invite our spirit to play.  We can feel it in our heart and our spirit becomes more and more playful.  Accessing our child is in turn accessing our heart and accessing our heart accesses our spirit.  We are lifted and feel lighter as we allow our selves to play and let our inner child feel safe and loved.  

Keep Moving: 
When we move about we move energy and when we move energy we feel lighter and our spirit is accessed automatically.  Dancing, exercising, walking or just moving to music in a way that feels freeing feeds our spirit.  We become lighter when we move and keep moving.  Staying still makes us stagnant while moving keeps us feeling healthy and well.  It reminds us of the fact that we can move and that we are blessed to be able to move.  Our spirit needs movement and there are so many ways to incorporate movement in our lives.  Just taking a walk helps us to stay up and in touch with life.  When we are in movement we are allowing our spirit to come forward and in fact we are accessing that spiritual part of us.  Happiness happens when we move about and we find ways to enjoy life by staying active and positive.  

Check In: 
Take the time to check in with yourself and ask yourself some key questions: 
How is my heart feeling right now? 
How can I connect with my spirit?
Am I living in the now and being present? 
How can I access my spirit more fully and lovingly? 
What needs to be healed right now? 

When we check in we ask questions that will provoke us to take some action and to first realize where we are and how we are feeling, never denying our feelings.  We take the time to make sure we are present and acknowledging where we are and what needs to happen to lift us up.  Checking in requires that we be gentle with ourselves and find out what is it we need in the moment.  Once we see and feel our feelings then and only then can we take action.  The actions we take are ones that we know are aligned with our heart's desire.  Every day we take the time to check in and hold reverent our feelings and our spiritual needs.  When we truly have the intention to live in our highest energy we do.  It is that simple.  But first we must be willing to respond to these key questions and then do what we need to do to nurture that void an to heal that hurt.  

Always remember that accessing you spirit is one of the most important things we can do for our soul and our being.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
