Our bodies have been created by our Higher Selves with the intention that one day, they will ascend into unity with our eternal spirit, and together, they can co-create a beautiful life and world.
As the eternal spiritual beings that we are, we often find our bodies to be heavy homes to bear or like a poorly fitting shoe that rubs. But the only way to have the experience that we want on earth is to learn to wear our bodies with love and commitment. Through that, we build a relationship that brings fulfillment of our purpose and satisfaction.
Toward that goal, grounding is needed. But not at the expense of our spiritual energy and joy. To bring them together, we need to find a way to lift the body into unity with spirit while holding ourselves strongly within the physical world. A heart open to love overcomes the differences between our spirit and our physical form. It accepts the uniqueness of each and finds the common purpose and complementary ways we fit together. We can live like a rainbow – bringing our many different levels of self into harmony and unity with our eternal, true nature.
Trees are perfect examples of the union of spirit and form. They embrace wholeness between roots, trunk, branches, and aura and generate the substance that I call Holy Spirit or the Force of Unity. This raw material of life is how we can co-create our experience under the power and guidance of our Higher Selves and the One.
Imagining yourself like a tree, you can welcome the flow of life force and unconditional love through the earth, up through your body, and out through your branches toward the sun. And through the sun into your body and out your roots into the earth. Holding center within this flow is how that creative substance is generated that allows you to co-create a life worth living.
People are spirit living in form, but most of us prefer one over the other. Many spiritual people love being out of their body in unrestricted and vibrantly light spiritual energies. Living this way can help people to stay spiritual, happy, and unconditionally loving even in very difficult circumstances. It also leaves them vulnerable and overly sensitive.
Some people are mostly focused within their physical experience. Whether physically, socially, or professionally active and too busy for a spiritual life or depressed, they may be lacking higher perspective and spiritual sweetness and joy.
Spiritual people will tend to ignore their physical body, and physical people will tend to ignore their spiritual source. When they try to ground, they can get stuck in the opposite experience instead of uniting them and so not receive the benefits they seek.
People often have emotional and mental wounds that make it difficult to hold unity and wholeness. Healing those, we can bring spirit into our bodies to uplift them into harmony and health. As we unite spirit and earth, it begins generating the Holy Spirit/Force of Unity, and healing happens, making it easier to stay grounded. Our spiritual self can begin to act within our human experience, and a higher intelligence begins to guide us, bringing the perspective we need to navigate our choices and opportunities of life.
We begin to trust ourselves as we learn to hold unity and receive higher intelligence into our experiences. We show up in the right place and time to give and receive with love and satisfaction.
There is nothing like it! But we may also find ourselves encountering feelings, reactions, and memories of the circumstances that caused our mistrust of spirit and/or earth. If we stay in our wholeness and meet these old issues while centered in our open heart and guided by higher intelligence and unconditional love, we discover the necessary gifts we earned during those old hurtful circumstances. It’s amazing how what happened in the past called forth from us choices that ultimately made us strong. Accepting the strength we gained and releasing the suffering, we are able to hold unity more consistently and gradually become whole in all ways. This is what can happen when we ground!
