Spirituality in Difficult Times

What a wonderful title for an article on issues of spirituality in difficult times!

The facts being that we are Spirit, soul or electromagnetic energy in the physical body, not a body with a soul.

Should you repeat that to yourself, several times, in first person, as a positive affirmation, you will surely tune in to the big picture of who we really are.

Thus, there are less chances of being caught up in fear, anxiety, stress, etc. during difficult times such as we are all experiencing especially since September 11, 2001.

As a soul in a physical body, there is no death; as science would say: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it just is!" So, what is there to fear? Life on planet earth is simply a time to learn and grow in our state of consciousness so we can some day graduate from the earth plane - this big school of learning.

So, why not ask ourselves, "What am I learning from this experience?" The lessons are surely different for each individual depending on what we came to learn while we are anchored on planet earth in a physical body. Some of the lessons could be: being more compassionate for self and others; being more aware of other people's situations, whatever that might be; being more generous with our time and energy; setting different priorities therefore realising what is really important in our lives; most especially it is a good time to put our spiritual house in order. The latter could be in letting go of the past, thus forgiving and releasing. It could also be making amends for past misgivings. What is it you want to learn during this trying time? It could be a time to trust more that whatever is happening is meant to be in order for us to learn what we need to learn at this time. Therefore, what is there to fear, but fear itself? Contemplate letting go of the fears and making the most of every moment by being more loving; more caring; less caught up in trivia, pettiness and worldly things.

We can also remember, if we so wish, that we all have a team of guardian angels or spirit guides who are watching over us, guiding us, protecting us and inspiring us to do what we need to do. They are our personal board of directors who are there to assist us as we are going through our journey here on planet earth. All we need to do is tune into this higher source of energy who will never let us down; that is a fact that you can surely count on. Our angels will even help us with our transition from the earth plane. So, again, what is there to fear? Each of us has a special and individual purpose while we are here on planet earth which can bring us bliss, hope, fulfillment, joy and peace while we are on life's journey. You can ask yourself what is my purpose here on earth? Should you need assistance in tuning in to your higher self, your guardian angels or spirit guides and your life's purpose or niche in life, give me a call at: (204) 257-6589 or E-mail me at: I would love to be of service. In the meantime, keep the big picture and let go of the fears.
