Hello guys, I've been on my spiritual path now for about a decade, in Earnest, but this past 12 months have felt like I'm no longer in the 'game'. When I reflect on what I've achieved over the years, none of it seems to be relevant now. I no longer give readings, teach, tend to my own forum, meditate, and the list goes on... Is this all just to have been another part of my journey, albeit now in the past? I just feel continually pulled away from the spiritual - even my new partner has little interest in such matters, and she doesn't like me talking about it (except when she wants a message from a deceased loved-one)  Piffle.....  |

Dear Danny you are still teaching I had to look up the word Piffle Balderdash and Piffle was a British television programmed made by Takeaway Media for the BBC. Presented by Victoria Coren, it was a companion to the Oxford English Dictionary's Word hunt,You know I find If you stop trying things tend to work out.Or pass into history .its just Karma.
Cheers Sidney.

danny,
when i get like this, i do a few things that you may find strange but probably not so much.
One- I make a gratitude list. I write down everything I am grateful for and all i have acheieved and reflect on this with much happiness. I then say a prayer for all those who are suffering and try to give back where I can. I send to people near to me or people on prayer forums. ..this keeps me in the "loop" with Spirit. Then, funny, I buy vanilla scented (non toxic) candles and light them and sometimes rose scented or rose essential oil. I bless my house and I once again give thanks. This usually opens up a clear channel for the Spiritual energy to flow back to me again when it appears "stopped"
And lastly, If I know theres goals or fears I still havent worked through that I may be surpressing (and why Im avoiding the spiritual day work) I write that down too and sent it
a reiki symbol. or prayer at the least.
some days I know however- the "just for today" reiki prayer is enough.
and some times ya know thats OK.
MUCH CARE!
~PEACE~

Exactly!!! Just let it be. From time to time we all feel kind of disconnected. I think it is because there is something to experience and make us look a little deeper than ever before.

Since the internet the nature of the occult has changed
Organizations like the O.T.O. or Church Of Satan are no longer relevant since people can meet and greet for free over social networking sites like facebook.

Someone said (on this forum I think) once that our spiritual path of spirituality is like the seasons of the year. During Spring we blossom and develop, during Summer we grow in strength but then during Fall we slow down and let the knowledge gained from Summer and Spring grow deeper inside of us, and during Winter we rest... So if you're in Winter... don't worry, spring will soon come back again... |

Hi, I realize this post is a few months old but I just wanted to tell you that I am feeling that way too and I understand. LOL I have spent most of my life feeling disconnected! haha I have been through some things over the past year that made me question a lot of old beliefs and a lot of my old feelings and self... through that I found Reiki (again). By again I mean that I had felt pulled to it for a long time... but this time around, i was ready to take the plunge and go for my attunements. I am glad I did. Truthfully it and my daughter are the only things right now that help me feel connected to much of anything. The rest of my life, most days, feels like one big eggshell that I am constantly walking on and trying desperately not to crack. I understand what you said about your partner... my husband is "polite" when I talk about Reiki but we have been together a long time and I know what he's thinking... lol... I make a joke about it... but actually it hurts, it makes me feel like I am not respected in what I believe and feel, especially some things we have been through. And he is not very spiritual at all when it comes to things like that... so it's hard to share those things that are of so much importance to me. I suspect that maybe you might feel the same. I would just say be very careful not to let your partner's lack of spirituality pull you away from your own. For some people, spirituality is what makes us tick. At least that's how it is for me. Take that away and you have taken my essence away. It is like breathing. Spirituality is the only real thing in this world of material fluff, in my little bitty opinion. I would like to send some reiki blessings your way, with your permission. I hope that you feel better soon and things start looking up. Remember the precepts.... just for today. That's all any of us can do, is manage just for today! Amy |
