Becoming in touch with the inner sensations of the body through heart connection is the key to spiritual development.
Arriving at the point of this internal communication can be challenging for some people.
The complex structure of our state of being, and here I refer to, spirit, mind and body, the trinity, is a strange concept to wrap our heads around, but once grasped, ones perspective of life can change dramatically.
Metaphysical understanding brings to ones awareness the importance of the trinity aspect of being and the progress of spiritual development depends on this understanding.
I’ve been asked “ what do you mean by how do I feel ”, and it was not until this question was posed that I realised the struggle many people could be facing in identifying the way they feel. Feeling cold or hot is one aspect but true feelings are on a deeper level.
In much of the western societies, suppression and the disassociation with feelings is prominent and can have dramatic effects on several aspects of ones life, and too often we go about life unaware that we are unaware. Changing perspective is important in this journey of spiritual development, you and your experiences are the primary source of authority on spiritual matters. Your experiences include sates and moods of consciousness which alter the way we function and express ourselves and impacts the way we perceive and understand ourselves, others and reality as a whole.
How does one go about understanding what feeling is? Mindfulness is a good place to start. The ability to be fully present in the moment without judgement and being aware of your state of being without getting caught up in it allows you to begin tuning in to the subtle energies that can then help to identify the state you are in.
Asking yourself, how do I feel, with that question directed to the heart, reveals the true nature of your state.
The quieting of the mind along with stillness, allows the communication with subtle energies to reveal itself and your true feelings at any given moment and helps in understanding your innate spirit, mind and body union.
