Spirituality = Finding YOUR Superpower.

Someone said to me recently that spirituality just sounds like another religion, so I felt compelled to write this in the hope to provide a little guidance.

There is no religion in spirituality, it is wholeheartedly about finding your power, the creator within. It is also much more, but I’ll stay with this for now.

Everyone has their own individual blueprint they were born into this world with. Unfortunately many of us don’t even recognise this as we grow up and forge our way into society’s ‘work your arse off’ ethics. It is not about seeing the world through rose coloured spectacles, it is about stripping your world back to the heart of what’s important in YOUR life. This is how it starts. Finding your own spirit, not anyone else’s. It is only when you love yourself that you are able to fully project that love onto others.

Religion dictates worshipping whichever god or deity is appropriate for that particular structure. Although I’m not going to knock anyone for their beliefs, religion has its place and many are comforted by their faith and I praise them for at least acknowledging there is something else ‘out there’. However, in truth I feel we would be better placed at finding out what’s ‘in here’, this is when we ‘feel’ our truth and not what has been imposed on us.

I don’t force my beliefs on anyone, but each time someone rolls their eyes if the word spirituality is even bought into the conversation, I feel a little uncomfortable and yet why should I? I’m proud of who I am and would like to see more compassion within friendships and social circles, encouraging each one of us to be ourselves, no matter what our beliefs. I’m merely trying to express that there is a creator within each and every one of us and to provide some insight to whoever wants to listen to seek to find their own ‘self’, peeling off each layer of negativity, bit by bit in order to find the inner soul that is waiting to pounce out onto the world with its unique talent.

Spirituality is not about being competitive, it’s about providing encouragement for each and every one of us to use our individual creations and interweave them into the universal tapestry of life. Unity.

Spirituality encourages us to find our inner child and bring that child into our day to day adult lives day, so that we can live it with joy.

Finding our spirit begins with raising our consciousness. Often this begins naturally as we find our tastes and interests change. Depression is often diagnosed and then what can follow are multiple prescriptions for anti depressants and other medications to offset the side effects of these meds. This in turn creates suppressed emotions and energy blockages, which in fact happened to me over a period of more than twenty years.. and also my parents.. for much longer. A story for another time perhaps.

Needless to say I am now free of medication, my immune system took a serious hammering. Now I seek to boost my immunity in more natural ways, creating good mental and physical health, rising above the need for pharmaceutical intervention.

Much of humanity enjoys sameness, tribalism, seeking approval from others, self gratification, and often follows the crowd or a herd mentality. I do not mean to offend anyone.. I’m just saying it how I see it. When we raise our consciousness we find ourselves rising above these societal constructs, striving to find our own unique skills utilising the creator within, and inspiring others to find theirs. To judge, or incite arguments because you consider your belief to be better than that of your colleague is just counterproductive and triggers a negative spiral.

I’m not going to make this a long read as I just wanted to get a few things off my chest. There is so much polarity in the world right now, so many shadows lurking. It is only when we can bring these shadows out into the open, process our demons, fears and the narcissistic traits that have been ingrained into us.. whether it be via our upbringing, societal beliefs or media propaganda, that we can deal with them effectively and let them go.

Forgiveness is paramount in this exercise so that we may eventually see everyone as a reflection of ourselves. We need to forgive and let go of the negative aspects of our personalities and multiple egos that we have developed in order to create a more positive future for ourselves and humanity. This also requires us to find forgiveness in our hearts for those that have hurt us in order that we may find our inner peace and unleash our true potential.

We can all achieve this by starting with ourselves and I wholeheartedly encourage you to find your superpower.

Sending love to all. Let’s make this world a better place.
