Using Spirit as an excuse
A bugbear of mine is when people use spirituality as an excuse in their lives – and believe me I come across them every day!
For instance, a hoarder will say to me “I know Spirit wants me to hold onto this stuff for a future purpose” or “I need to leave my partner because I know that my journey is elsewhere”.
What it boils down to is the hoarder doesn’t want to get rid of their stuff so they use Spirit as an excuse and the other person just doesn’t want to be with their partner anymore and instead of just saying they’re unhappy, somehow it becomes part of a “spiritual journey”.
Your spiritual journey is within yourself. Not where you live, how you dress or what you do for a living. It’s INSIDE of you and that is where the change is, within. The rest of your life can be exactly the same as what it was, but you now just look at it differently and accept things differently but you have to still continue on with your life and responsibilities.
If everyone packed up and went to an Ashram in India because it was their “calling” or whatever, the world would fall apart because we still need bakers, bus drivers, miners etc.
Some of you won’t agree with me and that’s fine, this is my opinion and what Spirit has told me and it’s just a frustration that I have when people use Spirit as an excuse to justify what they’re doing. It makes me mad!!! J
I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this matter!
Till next week, Katrina

I think people use that term to keep from taking responsability for their own actions. I see it as a form of blaming someone else. There is no better felling then to stand up & take ownership of what you do in life be it good or bad. It is like taking a band-aid of hurts for a little bit then the pain is over & the healing begins.
Totally agree Katrina !
Part of the problem I feel is that people do not do daily “Grounding” exercises to connect them with the Earth and higher self. This results in much of what they
are receiving is coming from the personality/lower ego.
Grounding is very simple, and only takes a few moments to do. I teach this in my meditation class and all workshops as it is vital. Here are the basics: 1) Take 3 deep breaths. 2) Take another breath and see your body expanding in size, filling with white light. 3) Breathe out and imagine the light pushing down into the earth. Continue until you see yourself surrounded by light and a large column of light descending down into the middle of the earth. 4) As you breathe in, extend the column of light up, until it reaches where you feel your guidance or higher self/soul to be. 5) Move your awareness down to the centre of the earth. There is an Aurora of swirling colours there – like a rainbow. As you breathe in, pull up the rainbow from the centre of the earth, up your column of light into your feet, legs, spine, middle of the body, overflowing at the waist. 6) breahte in again and pull up more colours overflowing at the neck and running down both arms. Breathe in again and pull the colours into the head, overflowing like a fountain at the top of your head. Breathe in again and pull the colours up through the head all the way up to soul/source. Let the colours overflow and go back down into the earth, connecting you as part of a bigger cycle. 7) as the energy flows, say to yourself: “I intend to ground to Earth and connect to my Source and Guidance. I intend to pull into my field all the tones I need today as per my Source and Guidance” Blessings. Trudie
