Spirituality and happiness

Having a spiritual connection has actually been scientifically proven to make people happier.

Did you know this?

What are your beliefs?

Do you believe there is more to life that just the physical?

Do you believe in God?

Do you believe that we posses a spirit/soul?

I urge you to ask yourself these questions.

Spirituality is different for everyone. There is no right or wrong answer but simply believing, believing in something bigger than you is protective against depression.

I believe this is one aspect of ourselves so many of us are missing in our western society. We are so focused on the physical, material possessions and even our physical health. What about spiritual wellbeing? It’s a whole piece of the puzzle that we so often neglect. How can we feel whole when we are not looking after ourselves as a whole?

It is not enough to simply look after the physical, mental and emotional. The spiritual governs it all. It is our highest self and our most powerful tool.

You may be confused when it comes to spirituality. That’s ok. It’s not something that can be crystal clear in this empirical world. It’s not something that can be proven, it’s simply something that can be felt.

I have always had a strong sense of spirituality. My belief has never wavered but I certainly have been caught up in this physical world and been through times of neglect when it comes to my spiritual wellbeing. During these times I have definitely noticed that my physical and emotion self has been affected. As I was not as in tune with my self, my needs and my higher purpose, I began to neglect certain aspects of myself. I wasn’t eating the way that was best for my body

(I have always been a healthy eater but I have not always honoured my body, eating certain things as it gave me a high or to fit in and not be different). I wasn’t being true to myself, expressing how I felt and working on my emotional wellbeing. I was trying to be perfect, to fit in, be accepted by others, follow our societal model of school, to university to a 9-5 job. I had more to offer. I knew that much but I wanted to do what was right. What others told me was right. Be the perfect daughter, wife, and friend. Not the perfect version of myself for me. While in actual fact I could never be ‘perfect’ and at the same time was already ‘perfect’. This is as we are all perfect already.

Exactly as we are.

In all our perfect imperfection.

As human beings the best thing we can do for ourselves, our loved ones and our society is simply to be true to ourselves. Shine our light, share our story, to be unapologetically us.

We are all spiritual beings, we are all connected in a way that may not be able to be measured but certainly can be felt. If you just take the time to truly connect within yourself you will learn unimaginable things about what you have to offer in this lifetime, how you need to be showing up and who you truly are. You feel things more deeply than ever and experience your heart opening up like never before. You will begin to notice the opportunities that are there for you that you may have missed up until this point. You will discover that you have been living with your eyes closed.

See the magnificence.

Experience the magic.

Know that all is going exactly to plan.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Life is full of excitement you just need to be open to noticing it.

Find a spiritual practice that works for you. Do it every day. EVERY DAY. You will notice the shift. You will never turn back. Coping with the physical world will become so much easier as life will flow with ease. Release the resistance. The answers are inside of you already. Let go and just be. Just be you.

P.S. I am working on a very exciting new program for you. It will be delving deeper that any of the work I have done before. Lets work on all aspects of your health and wellbeing. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Lets uncover what has been holding you back from living the healthiest and happiest life possible.

P.P.S. Life is meant to be fun. If its not ask yourself what you need to be doing differently. It your life and its your choice how you live it.

I woke up with a sore throat... Want to see what I am doing about it?

Want to see what supplements I took this morning? 

I have a big weekend coming up with work tomorrow, a Halloween party tomorrow night and my workshop on Sunday. I simply cannot afford to get sick or lose my voice. That is why I am making sure to do everything I can to help my body heal and give my immune system any support I can.

This includes taking whatever supplements I have at home and eating foods that will support my body.

I will not take this lying down!

Well I suppose that is only part of the truth. I do believe that when our body shows us a symptom its not random. I believe there is ALWAYS a message behind it. Something that we have been doing that isn’t working, something emotional we are suppressing, something that we need to learn or simply that we need to give ourselves more TLC.

So this morning I did take it lying. I cancelled my morning plans and slept in. I felt I needed it and so I made the choice to do what I knew was right for me. Sure I had made plans, sure I was actually really disappointed to be cancelling them but I also knew that it was the right decision for me. I listened to my body and that was what I knew I had to do.

But I also feel its important to connect to what the message is. Why is my body run down and why is it specifically affecting my throat.

The throat is all about communication, owning your power, speaking your truth, and expressing yourself.

Although I may have caught something from one of the adorable kinder children I was working with on Wednesday, I believe that my sore throat has a lot to do with the fact that I have been focusing the last few months on owning my power and speaking my truth. Obviously there is still some resistance there hence my throat being an area of weakness (to be honest it has always been an area of weakness for me and communication and speaking my truth has also always been a challenge for me). I have always felt resistance at simply speaking what I believe and a great need to be liked. I am learning that those who are supposed to be in my life, the right people for my tribe will obviously like me regardless, especially when I speak my truth.

Life is a journey for each and every one of us and we all come across challenges. In order to move past them and not get stuck we must first identify what they are. Delve deep inside our heart where the message ALWAYS lies and simply listen. Our consciousness knows the answers; they are all there waiting for us.

We just need to listen.

For me I feel a shift and I believe that each time we are unwell or experience pain or suffering it is an opportunity for growth. We can either ignore the message and keep repeating the same mistakes, traveling away from our purpose. Which is pure love by the way. Or listen to what our body and soul is telling us, learn the lesson and move forward on our path towards alignment and wholeness.

It’s not always easy, but on the other hand it is always easy. Things flow with such ease when we follow our purpose, when we listen to our soul and move towards love rather than fear. If you are living a life by following fear you are not on the path to your highest good and greatest potential and you never will be.

Don’t let fear win.

Its love you need.

Its love we all need.

We are all love and we are all one.

It will flow.

Life will be easy if you simply move AWAY from fear and TOWARDS love.

When it comes to my journey I am choosing to check in and listen to what my body needs on a daily basis. I have learnt that it is not always linear in its progression. Sometimes you climb mountains and other times you slip and fall. But it is all about the journey, the experience and the lessons we learn along the way. You know you are on the right path if you are heading towards love, joy, wonder and happiness. If it feels good deep in your soul then simply keep going.

It’s that simple.

For true health and happiness all you need to do is make a choice. A choice about how you are going to live your life. Do it with conviction and make the commitment to yourself to live a life that is fulfilling for you. One that allows you to shine your light and come from a place of love.

P.S. Its only 2 days until my Joy workshop. If you have been living in a place of fear and are ready to move towards love then you must come join me. I will teach you how to release those feeling and beliefs that are no longer serving you so you can bring more joy into your life. Surround yourself with the frequency of joy every day and feel each and every cell in your body dance to the vibration of joy.

P.P.S. Never forget that it is your life and it is 100% your choice how you live it. Your experiences are 100% your choice. You simply need to listen.
