Below is an article taken from the Simple Healing website owned and run by us. We will be sharing this and others with you here over the coming days and weeks and, as time allows, will be adding posts about our own Spiritual Journeys – which are, of course, ongoing. If this, or any other article raises questions for you, or if you would like to request Distant Healing, you can click on the direct link to our website in the side bar or on the dedicated pages in the header bar of this blog. Please bear in mind that not all the other articles cross referenced in this one are on this blog yet but they are available on the website and will be added to this blog over time so we have left the references in place. The hyperlinks will take you to the website. Because of the way blogging works, the articles will appear in the opposite order to how they appear on the website.
If you have attended Spiritual groups in the past or currently belong to one, you are likely to have been told at some point to “look within” to find the answers you seek.
What is sometimes not explained is exactly what is meant by this instruction and many people valiantly try to comply but never really know if they have succeeded in what they are trying to do.
So, when you try to look within what are you trying to find and how do you do it?
The spirit within you decided to have the experience of a life on the earth plane. It was implanted into the foetus during the 12th week of pregnancy and this child grew to become the person that is now you.
However, there is much preparation within the Spirit World before such an implantation takes place. If the Spirit has had a previous earthly life, it must have reviewed that life and dealt with any Karmic debt accumulated during that previous lifetime. It will also need to come back without memories that could interfere with the life that you are living now, although it will have knowledge of certain skills that it had in the past but not the context of how it knows them. For more information about this see Re-incarnation and Your Purpose For This Life. When you are looking within, your conscious self is deliberately joining with the inner being that is the Spirit inside the human body and learning to make use of the knowledge it has along with its connection to the Spirit World that is never severed.
Instinct
As you progress with your personal development and your connection with Spirit you are also learning to connect more strongly with your inner being. The combined knowledge and connection to Spirit that your inner being has can be of great use to you and has always been a part of your life although you have most likely called it ‘instinct’. If you have always listened to your instinct, do not stop now, especially if you have started your developmental journey, for it will only become stronger and more reliable. If you have been inclined to ignore what your instinct has told you in the past, now would be a good time to start taking notice of it and seeing how often you are, or would be, right to do so. Your inner being is able to help you when for your Guides to do so would be interference in your life.
How to “Look Within”
In order to connect with your inner being, you need to do exactly the same as you do to connect with Spirit see Developing Your Connection. If you have situations to deal with and you need help to clarify your thoughts, the time to do this is when you are doing your Simple Relaxation. Do not try to force this process and do not expect answers to hit you like a lightning bolt. You must just let the process happen and be aware it might seem as though nothing is happening for a while, but the more you try to ‘chase’ it, the more you will block it. Evaluate what your instinct is telling you is the right thing to do, and if it feels right to you, go with it. Learning to trust is a matter of practice.
You will find that the more you relax and allow the process to happen, the more often you will feel confident that the decisions you are making are correct.
