10 Great ways to receive some Spiritual Help
Sometimes life gets pretty tough and dark and a term sometimes
used "Walking the dark night of the soul" isn't far from the
truth. It's during this time a sense of loneliness might be
experienced; there's no-one around to provide comfort or support
and we think to ourselves no-one understands and cry "I've tried
everything" and struggle to find the switch to turn the light
back on.
This would be a pretty good time to call in for some spiritual
help. When spirit answers in whatever shape it presents itself,
a chance then exists for either doing something about it or not.
If nothing changes, then nothing changes.
An example of receiving spiritual help could be through reading
a sentence in a book that speaks volumes to you, it may be words
you hear in passing conversation, or maybe spiritual help
presents itself during your dream state, there are many ways
this can happen.
For example, if I'm going to visit a bookstore I might call
upon 'The Library Angel'. I ask this angel to guide me to a book
containing the answers I need, the great thing is it works for
me every time, no matter how tiny the book or whether its been
misplaced out of its category.
I also walk around parks touching trees, admiring flowers and
breathing in the wonderful energy when I'm there. Nature spirits
abound in these places; and are great for connecting with them
as well as you, and for asking for a bit of spiritual help.
From experience, I know many who cringe at asking for something
(anything really) and I once did too, however if you really need
some help and you've tried others ways which haven't helped,
spirit or whatever you call 'it' won't mind. However be careful
what you wish for because you will get it and it may not be in
the form you wanted.
Below are 10 great ways to receive a little spiritual help:
1. Learn meditation and practice daily for greatest mind, body,
spirit results.
2. If you pray include in your prayer What do I need to do to
help me make things better for me?
3. Receive answers to your questions through meditative practice
- it works.
4. Connect with your spirit through walks in a park, along a
beach, or through other spiritual practices.
5. Before going to sleep at night, step into a calm state of
mind and call upon your guidance or whatever you call it
(eg angel, spiritual guide, God etc) and ask that your issue is
sorted during your dream state. Notice and become aware of how
you are the following morning, keep a journal entry, and open
yourself to opportunities.
6. Ask The Library Angel to guide you to your own book of
answers the next time you decide to visit a book store.
7. If books are not in the budget, join a library, they're fun
to visit and just the place to meet up with The Library
Angel.
8. Practice patience and mindfulness. The benefit of this is
greater objectivity and clarity of thought.
9. Let go. Do something totally different to distract you even
if it's only for a few hours (design a collage of all the things
you love, try some sand art, or finger painting, clean out your
wardrobe of all the things you can do without etc). Thoughts are
energy. Whatever you think of is what you'll get more of.
10. Try an aromatherapy essential oil blend of 4 drops Sweet
orange, 2 drops Bergamot, 3 drops Cypress and 2 drops Lavender.
This blend is for joy, happiness, calm, and painful transitions.
It costs nothing to ask for a little spiritual help, all it
takes is an open mind and becoming aware of the endless, subtle
possibilities around us.
