Our spiritual body is above all of it, but often left out. It’s like reasoning, logic & compassion watching everything and tapping on the glass between the bodies, waiting for a turn to say something. And, often that “turn” takes years to show up.
This is your highest self, the one closest to the higher power.
We tend to ignore this part of ourselves for years, only listening in during severe or dire times. But, this part of ourselves is very much involved, and gently and lovingly making changes.
When intense things happen though, this part of us can be shut out.
This is when the rest of the body gets effected, and healing slows, awareness is almost gone and forgiveness is a challenge. It’s in these times, with our loved ones can gently step in and offer Self-Care gifts to encourage healing.
Or, you can touch them gently, listen to them, encourage them to write, walk, or pray. You yourself need to take of your own needs as well & try to have healthy boundaries & remain as positive as possible.
Your energy can be severely depleted without spiritual and emotional boundaries set in place BEFORE you help them, so keep that in mind.
How Do I Know When My Spiritual Body Needs Healing?
- Your “give a darn” is broken
- A conversation with your higher power seems meaningless
- Hope doesn’t seem possible
- Your entire body feels pain, it feels like every single cell hurts
Self-Care for this time in your life is critical, yet tender & gradual. If you can be open to some other ideas, you can try some different Self-Care techniques, like visualization, grounding yourself, or crying.
Self-Care Ideas For The Spiritual Body:
- Prayer & meditation
- Crying!
- Writing down your feelings & burning them (be safe!)
- Walking & sitting in nature
- Helping one person
- Go to a special place (we go to Chimayo, NM)
We go through stages in life, and the downs can have incredible lessons wrapped into the terrible-ness of reality. If you are in this stage right now, I’m here if you need to contact me, and I can give you some ideas if you are stuck. You are not alone.
