Mini Post 18: The Difference Between Enlightenment and Ascension

Enlightenment is a word that bears many meanings and ideas. Often, the word enlightenment is connected with the image of yogis, or to cliché and cheesy new agers, or it is applied only to those in monasteries or in monastic lifestyles. Some have not even the faintest idea of what enlightenment means from a fundamental standpoint. And when you couple the word enlightenment with the word ascension, the confusion grows. To define enlightenment is difficult, but in general terms

When Love Becomes Self-Harm

Love is simple. People are complicated. Relationships are complicated. But love? Love is simple. You feel this strong pull towards someone, this thing that threatens to tear your heart apart, and it is exciting, intoxicating. You feel that this is the person that somehow was made for you. That is love, putting everything in and sacrificing whatever you have. Yes, that is love. That is the emotion and the idea moving through your body, moving through your consciousness, consum

Mini Post 16: Why You Need A Regular Spiritual Practice

What constitutes a regular spiritual practice? The word regular here means habitual. So, a regular spiritual practice consists of regular/habitual meditation, continuous worship, continued exploration of spiritual knowledge, a sacred and personal place for spiritual purposes, and putting into practice the knowledge gained. The key to these things is that they are consistent and a way of life. Truthfully, faith may wane as we go through challenges, and that is okay, but you ne

Symbols: The Butterfly

The butterfly is a beautiful, small, creature that carries on its wings messages of the universe. There are many ways a butterfly flitting by can be interpreted. Someone may say the appearance of butterflies in a garden is nothing more than nature proceeding through the motions of the seasons; it is only Spring. Someone else may say butterflies are just insects that are nice to look at. For another, a butterfly may be an omen, a message from divinity. The truth is, butterflie

The Different Levels of Communication through Omens

When looking around your world and searching for divine signs, guidance, and messages, things are never just what they seem. The world is not flat, the universe is not flat; therefore, the world around us is not one sided. This is the beauty of seeing the world through a spiritual lens; it is being able to see the rainbow both as individual colors and as a united manifestation of various things (water, heat, light, color). So, whenever trying to decipher what feels like a mes

Symbols: The Butterfly

When seeing butterflies often and when it seems strange, like it means something, here are the things you need to pay attention to in order to decipher its significance and meaning: color, size, and behavior. You should also be aware of how you feel and your surroundings (Daytime? Indoors, park, garden, or sidewalk?). How you feel the moment you witness this omen, whether it is inanimate or breathing, will tell you a lot about why you are seeing it. For example, if you are wa

Love Through The Different Bodies of The Soul

Original Publication: Dec. 25, 2013 at theimportant1111blog.wordpress.com It is so easy to forget Love. It is so easy to forget what love is and what it feels like. And even though we may know what love is or have ideas about what it is, some of us have never truly experienced love fully, unbounded love. The physical world puts limitations on this thing called Love, limitations on a thing that truly has no limits. What does love feel like? What is it like to feel limitless lo

Meditation: What is it? And How Is It Practiced?

Original Publication: Dec. 13, 2013 at theimportant1111blog.wordpress.com At the beginning of my spiritual path I did not want to meditate. I was extremely reluctant because I arrogantly thought I did not need to. And I had the perception that most people have of it; which is, meditation is boring and difficult. Then one day I decided to give it a try. I realized then that meditation is something I have always done, something that I did without knowing. So, what is meditation

Love Can Be Exhausted

“The Mysterious Girl” by Giuseppe Milo Love is often described as something that is eternal, something that we cannot touch and exists in everything. When in love, it seems as if the warm and glorious feeling will last forever, as if it will never and cannot possibly be replicated. Often, family love is described as unconditional. None of these things are always true. Love can be exhausted, meaning love can be lost, love can calcify and become hard hatred, until it becomes em

Dreams: Regular vs. Spiritual

Dreams are the moments the mind gets to distract, express, and replenish itself. In the world of dreams, anything is possible. Sometimes the views are fantastic, more beautiful than what we encounter on a daily basis. Sometimes we have conversations with people only to forget what they say to us when we awaken. Other times, we are naked and embarrassed, or lost and chased. Often, as your body slowly tingles back into your daily reality, there is a question that suddenly rises

Mini Post 14: Most Common to Least Common Causes of Negative Energy

If there is positive energy then there is negative energy. Just as positive energy affects the body, so too does negative energy. Positive energy can improve healing, negative energy can keep you from healing. Positive energy can enliven you, negative energy can make you tired. When it comes to sex, negative energy either keeps you from enjoying it or it will drive you to the extremes of pleasure until it becomes unenjoyable or dangerous. Here are a few forms of negative ener

Mini Post 13: Mini Exercise for Reflexology

I am not an expert in reflexology. I’m very new to this practice and weeks ago, I was skeptical of it. But recent experiences have changed my mind on this ancient practice. (Here is a little history and here is a useful video.) The idea is that the feet hold the map to the whole body. Stimulating certain points on the feet will affect other parts of the body. There are a few precautions that should be taken. It should not be practiced on pregnant women. Otherwise, it is an in

Sex, Spirituality, and Enlightenment

Often when people think about spirituality they do not think of sex. These two, sex and spirituality, are often kept apart. Either you practice spirituality or you practice sex. And yet, we have ancient cultures and scriptures that tell us the opposite, that tell us that sex and spirituality are united. If we take it a step further and mix in various spiritual teachings from Hinduism, Taoism, and others, then the idea of enlightenment begins to enter the equation. What is enl

Tarot: One of My Horrible Experiences and Its Lessons

Namaste, friends. I begin by telling you all this story that happened just yesterday. I am fascinated by the tarot and do readings for friends and referrals that they bring me. I don’t do it on a regular basis, just when someone comes along with questions. I usually start the reading by lighting a candle and setting it on the table, I like to keep the lights dim to allow me to focus more, and I ask the seeker or the querent what his or her question is. Usually the person stut

Soul Mate and Twin Soul Relationship Misunderstandings

“Loving Sunset” by Leo Hidalgo People often search for their soul mate, for the one, for the other person that they will spend the rest of their life with. Some believe that soul mates are intricately weaved into our destinies, other dismiss the whole idea as wishful thinking. I believe that there is such a thing as destiny but that there is also space within that destiny, that we can affect our destiny, and that we can choose where we want to go. The popular belief is that s

The Body: The Feet – A Massage

Goddess Radha No part of your body is insignificant. Every single part of your body is a manifestation of your higher consciousness. This means that every single part of your body deserves to be loved and touched. By touching your feet and massaging your feet you become more familiar with this distant part of your body. The feet are your connection to the Earth, to the ground, and massaging them will help you connect with yourself and your own foundations. Your foundations, y

The Body: The Feet

The feet of Goddess Radha. The feet are the foundation of the human body. The feet are the roots to the base of the body that ground you to the earth. At the simplest level, your feet are a vital part of your body that allow you to walk. The parts of the foot include the toes, the heel, and the arch. If the foot were missing any part of these three components, balance would be affected, our postures would be affected, and our shoe choices would be affected. The feet are the p

Spirituality in the forest, mountains, or city?

“Salamander Twisting Log” by Kenne Where do you practice your form of spirituality? Do you have to go to the mountains in order to feel that inner connection? Do you have to be near the ocean to experience the motions of your soul just as the waves rise and fall? Or do you live in a city that doesn’t shut up and is overcrowded? Is it possible to be spiritual and feel that connection to your inner world in a bustling city? It is not necessary to live in the most beautiful and

The Tarot and Its Differnet Functions

Questions concerning love, money, and health are abundant and easily slip through the seeker’s lips. Often the person seeking the tarot reading wants to know about love, if they will meet someone special, or if they are going to get married, and even if their partner is cheating on them. Issues to do with law and business transactions are also considered through the tarot. And health concerns are often the least considered. But not many that seek the wisdom of the tarot actua

The Body: Introduction

Namaste and welcome to your body. That’s an odd thing to say, isn’t it? Welcome to your body? The body you and I presently have, we have known no other. We haven’t inhabited any body other than the one we presently have. At least, we do not always remember the bodies we have had in previous lives. The body in relation to the spiritual world and the Soul is often considered to be separate. The spiritual is something that is outside, something that is skyward. Enlightenment is
