Spring Training For The Soul©

Spring training for the soul… an unusual concept in this day and age. We all know how to get ourselves into physical shape, but what about the spirit within? When your soul is fulfilled, joyful and experiencing self-love, then a healthy, strong body is a natural outflow. Achieving balanced physical health becomes easy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches us that all problems have a spiritual, mental/emotional and physical cause, Once any problem has reached the physical level, it has already filtered through the spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of our being. The spiritual is the highest level from which to work on yourself to resolve any difficulties you may be experiencing.

Your soul is always seeking to express itself through your thoughts, attitudes, actions, and way of life. It is the place within you where joy, fulfillment, peace, compassion, empathy, kindness, abundance, brilliance, miracles, and love emerge. Many of you have weary spirits from too much work, worry, fear, doubt, anger, judgment, control, and feelings of lack in yourself, and in your life. These negative states are a cause of poor health, financial lack, and lack in general (not vice versa). This is why it is so important to learn to condition, nurture and grow your spirit.

What can you do? What promotes a healthy spirit? Here are a few tips that, when practiced diligently, will bring about profound changes in your health and in your life

Keep Things Simple - Get rid of everything and everyone that does not support your well-being and your highest good. Many people spend a lot of energy on physical clutter, mental clutter, and lives that are cluttered with too many things they don’t want to be doing.

Always Tell the Truth to yourself and others. Also, Tell the Truth about yourself to others. Every untruth you tell, no matter how small, is making a statement of fear. Fear is debilitating to your spiritual growth.

Don't Hurt Yourself and Don't Hurt Others. Depriving yourself of leisure time to engage in joyful activities is HURTING yourself. Eating junk food is HURTING yourself. Withholding your love and appreciation of people in your life HURTS you AND OTHERS. Mean-spiritedness HURTS EVERYONE.

Let the Past Remain the Past (it’s over!) All of the events of your life are catalysts to bring you to greater health, happiness, and abundance. Example: The boss who fired you from a job we never liked which led you to a job you love. Time to let go of resenting the boss—he forced you to do what you really wanted. Overly critical parents (or anyone in your life) forces you to see your value unconditionally. Forgive them! Forgive everyone and everything that could possibly need to be forgiven. IT IS SO FREEING!

Give Away Whatever You are Seeking! Want love in your life, then be more loving. Want more joy? Give joy to the people in your world. Be what you are trying to get. Want more money? Start giving more. If you don’t have money to give, you can give your friendship, kindness, time, etc.

Cultivate a relationship of TRUST with your spirit. Your spirit has all the answers you are seeking. Build your relationship with your spirit just as you would with a new friend or partner. Open up a communication with it. Meditation, prayer, quiet reflection, journaling, and creative endeavors are a few ways to do this. Become aware of what you want and TRUST your higher self to lead you to it. Act on any intuitions you are receiving.

These are a few simple, although not always easy, practices you can begin to incorporate in your life. Doing so will UPLIFT your spirit to the unlimited potential within for creating the happy, healthy, peaceful, abundant, loving life you desire.
