Entering the Portal of Spiritual Renewal

There is a great thread of yearning in human consciousness now to

search out new beginnings and bring about a renewal that will carry

you through the year ahead. The beginning of a new year marks the

birthing of new energetic possibilities. This awakens the greening of

new growth that symbolizes hope within the heart.

The renewal so many seek at the beginning of each new year has at its

root a desire for renewal that extends well beyond receiving a spa

treatment, improving one's diet, undergoing a fast or beginning a new

regimen of physical exercise. All these steps have the possibility of

bringing you closer to the recognition of your deepest longing, but

they are just stepping stones along the path to self-realization. At a

deeper level, this hope seeks to transcend limitations and to realize

one's true nature. It is transcendence that allows the spirit to fly

free of the shackles of illusion that holds so many in servitude on

the physical plane.

Self-Realization Versus Spiritual Poverty

With each year that passes, there is either a moving toward the

realization of the deepest longing of the soul, or a moving away from

it. Those who have taken their meaning solely from the outer world

will begin to notice a hollow feeling. Over time, this empty space

expands into a void. This is often experienced as the dry rattle of a

lonely wind howling across a great barren expanse. This is the

sensation of spiritual poverty as life force recedes from the life and

physical body.

Life force energy arrives proportionate to the amount that it is

needed. Those who put a great effort toward discovering their

spiritual mission and carry it out in whatever means available receive

the life force energy needed to do this. Within the moment, they

receive a great pulsing of life force energy. By contrast, those who

retreat into illusion, seeking only the comfort of distraction and

entertainment, suffer a stagnancy that shuts down the flow of life

force energy over time.

You may consider how much life force energy is required to start a new

healing center and assist many beings to health and well-being

compared to the amount of life force needed to play a video game or

eat a plate of cookies. There is nothing wrong with the latter unless

it takes the place of fulfilling one's purpose in life. What we are

talking about here is allowing an external pleasure-seeking impulse to

become the guiding desire of one's life.

When life force energy is shut down or stagnant for long periods of

time, the physical body starts to " amp down, " and the spirit begins to

withdraw from the life. At the physical level, you can measure life

force in terms of the oxygenation of cells. A lack of oxygen most

always results in physical disease. This is the physical explanation

for disease that reflects the spiritual withdrawal of life force

energy from the body.

The good news is that regardless of how far you have traveled off

course, regardless of the current state of your physical being, you

can choose to enter the Portal of Spiritual Renewal and begin turning

this energy around. We are offering you today 12 steps to creating

true spiritual renewal in your life. One need not wait until the

beginning of the new year to undertake this journey of renewal. You

can choose to step into this portal of renewal any time and any place.

In fact, every day, every hour, every moment can, with the alignment

of intention, will, purpose, and soul desire, become a Portal of

Spiritual Renewal, moving you further along the path of your deepest

longing.

12 Steps to Creating Spiritual Renewal:

1) Identify your life purpose and ask your guides to reveal to you the

steps to fulfilling this purpose. If you don't know yet what your

life purpose is, begin reading the energy of your entire life to look

for clues. Write your autobiography and examine the energy and

essence of all major milestones. Everything that has ever been

created in your life has been designed to carry you further into the

realization of this purpose. Make lists of your strengths and

weaknesses, the things you love, your talents, and your deepest

desires. These are further clues to the nature of your life purpose.

2) Set aside time each day for silence and meditation.

3) Learn to still your mind by practicing concentration skills.

Concentrating the attention on a candle flame for 10 minutes each day

while releasing all thoughts will help still and focus the mind.

4) Eat a diet that consists of primarily live foods.

5) Fast periodically to clean and detox the body and help release your

self from over involvement in the physical world.

6) Develop your intuition. Recording and interpreting your dreams

each day is a good way to begin developing intuition. Also, make a

practice of listening to the still, small voice within you and observe

how the information it offers assists you throughout your day.

7) Create a list of the 10 things you most dearly desire to create and

ask your guides to show you steps you can take to begin creating these

desires now. Look to see how each item on your Ten Most Wanted list

is aligned with your life purpose.

8) Have a goal, purpose, and activity for everything you do.

9) Engage in some sort of physical activity each day. It is especially

beneficial to incorporate physical activity such as yoga that unifies

mind, body and spirit.

10) Make time each day for creative play. Write in a journal, paint,

take a long walk in nature. Do what gives you joy.

11) Find some way to share your gifts and talents with others.

12) Clean out closets, drawers, your house and everywhere unused items

accumulate. Release everything you no longer need. This includes old

feelings you may be holding onto. Practice gratitude and forgiveness

and release the past so you may step more fully into the present moment.
