Building and Healing Your Spiritual Foundation
Hello and welcome to another blog recap from the live Tuesday Talks at 10:30. Thank you to all first timers and welcome back all returning followers and connection family. I apologize for being a few days late. But I believe that we all have been divinely guided to be here together at this moment in time. This blog offers a safe space and a community to give a voice to all things spiritual. It’s my passion to help push or pull you onto your energetic path for a beautiful connection to your higher self. We discuss different topics, from grief to meditation, spiritual growth, and more.
This month, our theme is on the universal year 1. Last week I had some technical difficulties, I have combined building a foundation along with healing during this commentary. We are examining foundational healing to receive the clarity needed for fresh starts and bold actions.
Some things to consider are the habits and disciplines you may want to incorporate into your daily routine. I believe that first we need to change the thought process of the word discipline. I tried to find another word and all similar words still sounded derogatory. I found words like control, regulation, order, authority, rule, strictness, a firm hand, but I continued to search and I found training, teaching, and instruction. (much better) I suggest you say I am learning to, or I am in training each day. I believe should consider that we are a field of study. Every day, we are learning new ways and methods that offer wisdom and perseverance.
I am going to take this conversation into deep healing as we continue. But first, did you know that there are 3 types of disciplines? The actions that help our daily thought process are: 1. Preventative, 2. Supportive, and 3. Corrective. In our ongoing field of study, I found that these 3 disciplines bring us into the 3 C’s. Clarity, Compassion, and Connection. What a great place to start building a stronger energetic foundation, and it is a different way to view discipline. We are learning to connect with compassion and clarity.
Nurturing your inner being through self-compassion and honoring your personal needs are essential for building a resilient spiritual foundation. Instead of just self-care, focus on treating yourself with the same grace you offer others, which cultivates a secure, anchored, and authentic spiritual life.
Adding habits like reflection, journaling, meditation, mantras, intentions, validations, and mindfulness can lead to a higher perspective of any situation. In the quiet times, clarity speaks loudly. The practice of offering yourself grace and self-care aids in deep healing. Past traumas and wounds can cause disconnect, and your authentic self can become numb and unaware. Addressing these wounds brings learned traits to the surface, some of these are buried deep in the subconscious, we don’t even realize we are holding onto them. It lingers as a freeloader in our psyche until addressed.
Here is the good news, you are the area of study. You are becoming a specialist of yourself. Clarity is coming to a point of realization where we realize that we are a part of a bigger purpose. The things we have experienced, good or bad, became a part of the path. The secret that no one told you is that you, my dear friend, are not chained to the unfavorable experiences. You have survived them. Acknowledge your victory and overcome it to make your foundation stronger. You are being asked to remove and cleanse the ground that your house rests upon. Level out the ground, find balance, clear away the rubble to clear the way to build upon it. You are allowed to be “under construction” while you rethink, reorganize your energetic space and heal. Yes, events may have happened that put a crack so deep into our foundation that it crumbled. Take a stand to mend “weak spots”. Deep healing helps restore who we are and what your earthly need may be at this point in time. Visualize who you are and what you would like to be doing. How would you feel if you knew you could not fail? Trust that your opportunities are endless. You are stronger and wiser than you realize.
Unfortunately, the human, logical side of each of us may think, “Why even bother? Nothing ever turns out for me.” That thought is not a logical thought it is a learned trait. This is a good place to ask yourself when was the first time you felt this way? Go to that event, look at it and realize that you are no longer in that situation. You got through it and survived. That finish line was crossed a long time ago. You do not have to watch the replay in your mind over and over again.
You are not the only one to ever feel this way. Those who I mentor, or coach come up with all types of reasons for not doing something. “There isn’t enough time or money, I don’t know where to even start, who would be interested?” The biggest stumbling block I hear is imposter syndrome. “Why me? I’m no one special. It’s just something I think about but know that it will never happen. It must be nice to accomplish or to do____.” It definitely can be nice, but there was probably a lot of work and effort that went into succeeding that you don’t see. And I would bet that the person whom you aspire to be like also had imposter syndrome at one time as well. Sometimes, I believe it keeps us humble, but I also think that sometimes it is an excuse to protect us. We can’t fail if we don’t try. OR is not trying failing? hmm interesting thought. Let me just say to you, “Why not you?”
Exploring the answers to these questions begin to peel back layers of healing that need addressed. The world will begin to unfold its beautiful possibilities to you when you think about the 3 types of discipline: preventative, supportive, and corrective. Giving grace to our inner self is supporting your ideas. Maneuvering situations differently is corrective. Preventative can either be preventing you from doing or preventing you from the fear of doing. Which do you choose?
Reflecting back to a time when you experienced someone making you feel less than, unworthy, or not special can definitely burst your bubble. Do you ignore it to protect yourself, or would you rather take the time to look deeply into the real possibilities? Realizing that not everyone has our best interest in mind is a heart-breaking truth. Believing in yourself and that you are worthy of all great things is part of self-care that we spoke about earlier.
A few weeks ago, I told you about my new way of doing things. The “small step method”. Looking at one small thing that I can do each day to help my day go better. It has helped me to stay focused. It has lessened the times of feeling overwhelmed. This is a great place to begin. Choose believing in yourself instead of doubting yourself. Believe that every day is your day. Think of one small thing you can do as a step in the right direction. Overcome your fear, your wound by taking one small step forward each day. Wake up in the morning and repeat to yourself, “I encircle myself in the white light of God’s love and divine protection.” This is like putting your seatbelt on every day. You are setting your intention for protection. (Click goes the seatbelt). You could add, “I know you will guide me in all the opportunities that come my way.” Place your hand on your heart, go to a deep place of love and embrace it.
Open up to offer grace and healing to yourself. You are worth it. You are meant to be magical. Be the cheerleader of your day instead of the critic. Celebrate the victories, no matter how large or small.
Small steps…Instead of wondering why you were placed on this earth, change it to seeing a light on your path one day at a time. When doubt or wounds appear, feel into them. Send yourself healing to brave the storm and walk through it. Maybe a habit that needs changed is pushing your emotions down and you power through by ignoring how it makes you feel. You are learning to grow. You are learning that you are the captain of your ship. Don’t allow a triggered fear to grab the wheel and steer you into a storm.
Childhood trauma — whew, you survived. You overcame it in spite of it. Every day you are a champion.
Grief — Every day you are healing a little at a time. If you have an emotional day, give yourself time to experience and work through it.
You say, you’ve tried before and it didn’t work? Try again, tweak your actions and see what happens.
I wish I could tell you that healing is a one and done thing. Unfortunately, healing is a part of life. Try not to “tough” it out. It hurt, acknowledge the hurt and where it came from. Learn from gaining the wisdom the experience created for you. Talk about it as a survivor. You are no longer a victim of the situation. Claim healing. Call in love, opportunity, and wisdom. Plant your flag. Maybe your path is helping others in similar situations.
Self-care, healing, self-love, and claiming you are a survivor are all part of the small steps. It won’t happen overnight. If you ignore it, push it down, it will take longer to find balance, clarity, and healing.
Send healing compassion to others. Encircle yourself with white light of protection and beams of warm glowing love. Time to take the first small step. Learn to love yourself. Find the small steps that will lead you to live the life you love and love the life you live.
Here is a healing mantra for you to use for the day, week, month, or as long as you need. “I feel worthiness in every cell of my body, and it feels amazing!”
Blessings,
Stacey
