What does awaken your spirit mean? Intangible concepts can be difficult to grasp until you have direct experience with it. What is love? Same thing, it's formless. But you know when you feel it...the beautiful, warm connection.
The dictionary meaning for spirit is "the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul. Such a part regarded as a person's true self."
Spirit awakens through your feelings which translates to your thoughts. It speaks kindly and gently to you, and never beats you up. It would never say the following:
- I'm not good enough
- I'm too fat
- I'm too old
- I don't belong
- I can't do it
Inspiration is simply when we're "in spirit." What inspires you? Where do you go and what do you do when you feel inspired?
It's challenging to awaken your spirit when we're "in our head." It's sometimes referred to our ego mind or our physical self. It's when we feel pressure or a need to figure things out ourselves. A need to know the answers or control an outcome.
Being in your head is when you've disconnected from Spirit. Ideally you want to be connected to both your head and your heart.
Think of your Spirit as your best friend who knows you inside and out and wants the very best for you. Your best friend is empathetic when things don't work out the way you had hoped but never feels sorry for you. That's because your best friend, your Spirit, always sees you in your brilliance. Always sees your full potential.
Next time you're feeling bad about yourself or a particular situation, take your Spirit to tea. Listen to the wise, loving, gentle advice and inspiration your best friend has to offer.
You are beautiful. You are smart. You are perfect just the way you are. The way will be shown. Be patient. Keep moving forward.
Just like a very best friend, your Spirit is always there for you when you call.
Peace and Joy ~
