The Compass Within

As we have become more connected through technology, we have grown further disconnected from ourselves. The natural quiet time that develops our inborn connection with intuition and spiritual guidance is no longer easily found in our daily lives. Lacking this peace has led to a sense of overwhelm, amplified feelings of meaninglessness, created inner disharmony, and emptiness.

Facing unprecedented challenges, both individually and collectively, mixed with the near constant high levels of daily stress, has had a lasting negative effect on our bodies which has created physical or mental shifts in our minds and emotions. Our daily lives are filled with intensity as we witness widespread social, political, and climate change, uncertainty about the future, and fear of the unknown.

If these weren’t taxing enough, universally we are experiencing a greater spiritual light expanding upon the Earth. Although this is helping us to awaken spiritually, it has created a major cleansing process for us on all levels: spiritually, emotionally and physically. In response to this growth the pain of our past, often buried from our consciousness, has begun to resurface into our awareness, bringing with it old feelings or physical symptoms.

We are all being challenged to develop new ways to cope with the increased levels of stress in our lives. There are many spiritual tools and transformational supports that can assist in reclaiming inner connection with yourself. Once you create an intention to reconnect with your inner being, you will begin to align yourself with the people, situations, and support systems you need.

A useful and simple way to navigate through these very intense times is to develop a deeper connection with your natural intuitive spiritual guidance. Inner guidance, which we are all able to access, is one of the greatest gifts we are given from our soul to our embodied, human self. Some of us are more attuned to this part of ourselves, especially those who are artists, musicians, athletes, or healers. In contrast, some of us may have learned to “shut off” this inner gift in response to the societal pressure of conformity.

No matter the depth of connection you may or may not feel toward your inner spiritual guidance, everyone has the capacity to nurture, develop and strengthen this part of themselves. Living with an active and awakened inner spiritual guidance offers the opportunity to perceive and experience a richer dimension of life. The universe of spiritual reality is vast and when intuition is activated, new experiences begin to open and create vaster and more meaningful possibilities.

In addition to expanding our daily experience of life, developing intuition and spiritual guidance serves to create a depth of connection to inner truth. If you have ever witnessed the simple and profound clarity of truth from young children, who have not yet learned to censor their inner guidance, you have a sense of what is possible for yourself.

We are continually inundated with sources of information which may or may not be entirely accurate or truthful. With a healthy relationship to your spiritual guidance and intuition clarity of direction is significantly easier to decipher. As your intuition intensifies, you will be more easily able to recognize the presence of lightness and loving warmth in people or detect the complete lack of these traits. As well as having a much easier time determining what feels true or false to you beyond what is said or presented.

Our world today has us surrounded with turmoil and many of the choices before us are pushing us to commit our attention, time, and trust in one direction or another. If we continue to remain disconnected from the centered being within ourselves, then it is easier for us to be swayed away from love and truth, which likely will lead to regret. Committing to develop your inner spiritual guidance offers the precious gift of discernment that provides the clarity to see what is true and what is not. Ultimately, this strong self-connection will allows us to navigate more easily through the great complexities and challenges that we face while helping us remain genuine to ourselves.
