Hyderabad:We are aware that we have our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual sides which together make us who we are. We are constantly working to achieve a state of balance or trying to improve on these sides, for instance, to achieve mental satisfaction or growth, we keep ourselves updated with what’s happening in the world. For our emotional happiness, we try to maintain relationships, socialise and do things that make us happy. In case of our physical self, we exercise and eat healthy.
And for our spiritual self, we try to follow virtues like helping and not hurting others. Everybody, according to their state of evolvement and experiences, focuses on either mental, emotional, physical or spiritual aspect, but the fact is it’s the spiritual self that binds all the three sides to us.
Spiritual self is unseen and provides our physical self with intuition or knowing things beyond our five senses. Spiritual self is the core of our existence, thoughts, perceptions and our knowing. Spiritual self is the drive behind each action and thought that makes us who we are.
Because of several reasons our spiritual side often becomes weak, fragile and dirty. From addictions to bad temperament, laziness to rudeness, cheating to fears... everything you are suffering from or making others suffer is a sign of spiritual contamination.
Reasons for this contamination can be many: not proper conditioning by parents in growing years, being surrounded by negative people, being subject to extreme situations, your lifestyle or past life karma. If we all work on our spiritual selves we would have proper guidance or internal knowing of leading a balanced and peaceful life.
We can be happy only when we are at peace. No amount of power (mental), or physical beauty or money (physical) and people or relationships (emotional) can bring us happiness if we are not at peace with our inner self (spiritual).
We may follow these steps to cleanse our spiritual self and make ourselves a clean slate to attract the exact energies you need to bring in peace and happiness in all areas of your life.
Do salt therapy regularly: Bathe with two tablespoons of sea salt in your bucket of water before taking a regular shower. Pour it six inches over your head affirming that all the problems in your life are removed and dissolved from your aura. You may bathe with normal water after this ritual. Do not forget to have a glass of milk or juice after salt water bath.
Meditation is one of the most important steps in spiritual cleansing. Sit by yourself in a room with dim lights, using incense or essential oils like lavender. This can bring back the freshness in your inner self.
De-clutter the space around you and also empty your mind of old, negative stored thoughts and beliefs. Nature has intense healing qualities, so spending time in parks, around lakes or any natural habitat brings you closer to your inner self.
Doing positive affirmation: Reassure yourself with positive thoughts again and again. This brings in change in your brain at sub-conscious level, which ultimately brings change in your outlook.
Writing down your thoughts on paper helps you reflect for better assessment of self.
Spiritual self is the internal sense of feeling contentedness at being something greater than our individual selves. The more aware and healthy we are at our spiritual self, the more we tap into a greater part of who we are.
It provides us with information about our spiritual purpose and guides us on what actions need to be taken to carry out the same. Soon, we start listening to our inner compass, which ultimately is the core reason of contentment and peace.
