Oracle of Consciousness

You should put your spiritual journey first!

Whoa, that sounds a bit greedy and selfish!

Let me explain by using a metaphor.

When you are traveling by aircraft to another destination, you are inevitably given a safety briefing.

And the safety briefing includes, what will happen in the event of a drop in cabin pressure.

Those ‘thingies; will drop out of the roof. Those ‘thingies’ just happened to be oxygen masks.

If you're traveling with small children and the elderly, what are you asked to do?

The answer of course is to put your mask on first, in order to be able to help them, because if you are gasping for air and in a panic, you're not going to be any good to anyone.

We put our mask on first and then we can calmly (hopefully), get on with the job of helping others put on their masks, help them get out of their seat and orderly evacuate the aircraft.

This is what we mean by putting our own spiritual journey first.

If we don't look after ourselves, we're not going to be effective in helping other people.

Your Life

Imagine for a moment if your life looked like this.

There you are in the centre, conducting and orchestrating of your life.

You have family who are close, respectful and loving.

You have workmates, a sports team you play with and a group of like-minded people you have regular get-togethers.

You genuinely feel you are a part of humanity and have compassion for those less fortunate.

As a dog and animal lover, you honour all species.

You ponder the meaning of life and wonder what else is in the Universe.

Your spiritual journey ventures into other inner and outer realms and dimensions.

Any dysfunction within you, is going to impact all the other areas of your life.

Very often we do neglect ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We can be more effective in the world when we're in a good place, when we look after ourselves across all the facets of our life.

We are talking about spiritually now, so we need to take time to do our meditation, direct self-enquiry, contemplation, embrace silence, be in nature, and shower ourself with self-love.

It doesn't necessarily mean we have to be apart from everyone forever, but as we are on our sacred journey, set aside some private, quiet time to do your inner 'work'.

Sometimes it can feel a very lonely journey!

Many people practice pilates, yoga, Qigong, Tai Chi, it can also be cooking and mindfulness.

All of these things are life-enhancing.

When we are topping ourselves up with energy, lifting our own vibrational frequency and becoming more aware and conscious, we're going to have a more profound effect on our own life, the lives of our family, friends, communities, nations, and the entire human family.

Believe it or not, every time you raise your vibrational frequency with a little ah-ha moment, it is going into the collective consciousness of the human family.

You are by your efforts, raising the consciousness of humanity.

Do you see how important you are?

Keep going!
