Spiritual Contemplation

Do you follow a religion or spiritual movement? Maybe you believe in a universal power or divine essence? Or are you an atheist, and only believe in scientific facts?

Either way, you should accept that we are all surrounded by a power that is far greater than we are!

World Religions are formal teachings that belong to the growth of certain races of people. Each of the religions served a purpose in its day and time, but should give way to something more complete as humanity advances.

Largest Religions and Faith Systems...

Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism, Islamism, Judaism, Sikhism, Theosophy, Shintoism, Jainism, Spiritualism, Sufism, Native American beliefs, Shamanism, New Age, Mystery Cults, Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Hare Krishna, Rosicrucians, Bahai, etc.

Popular Spiritual Leaders...

Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Moses, Dalai Lama, Pythagorus, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Rama, Krishna, Hermes, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Jung, Sartre, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, etc.

According to many of the spiritual and religious movements, there are five planes of existence in which you can experience your being. Within these are many sub-planes you can visit to gain valuable life lessons.

The five planes are...

Physical, Astral, Causal, Mental, and Soul.

The Best way to decide on your path is to ask yourself...
"What am I drawn to?" There your answers will be found!

HOW CAN YOU STUDY SPIRIT?

Many of the religious and spiritual movements use self-examination as a tool for development. By looking closely at different aspects of your own being you can attempt to correct any weaknesses. You should approach your examination with discipline, reality and truth.

Some of the things you may look at are...

1 - Denial of reality, where you focus on illusions.

2 - Attempt to prove your behaviour is worthy of approval.

3 - Placing blame for your difficulties on other people.

4 - Retreating to earlier levels that require less mature responses.

5 - Feelings of worth by identifying yourself with people of high-standing.

6 - Covering up weaknesses by emphasising desirable traits.

7 - Releasing pent-up anger on someone who is less dangerous.

8 - Withdrawing into passivity to protect yourself from emotional injury.

9 - Bolstering your ego for self-worth by seeking sympathy from others.

Every culture in the history of the world has acknowledged the existence of a powerful energy in the human body. This energy is often known as prana, chi, ki, magnetism, vital life force etc.

Buddhists and Taoists have preserved many ancient techniques, that they used for health and longevity. For example yoga and chi kung.

DEVELOP YOUR SPIRITUAL ENERGY?

Many people decide to take responsibility for their own health and well-being by developing and using a positive mental attitude.

A crisis is an opportunity in disguise, and no matter what life throws at you there is a way to roll with that energy. This means that illness and dis-ease can be obstacles and stepping stones to healing and enlightenment.

Spiritual healing is inner power that encourages the body to heal itself. Some healers are able to transfer excess energy to others, removing any blockages of energy and promoting a feeling of health and well-being.

Of course you have to dedicate some time to spiritual contemplation in order to build up your spiritual stamina. Contemplation of the secret worlds of spirit is the answer and the search is within you.

Spirit shows up in goodness, fair play, a ready ear, relaxation, calmness, and a growing love for all of life. A more detached inner life means that if your plans don't work out as you think they should, life won't crush you.

You cannot hope to attain vibrant health without looking at the principles and laws of nature. There are many subtle forms of power and energy available to you, almost anytime and anywhere. We sometimes forget that the most natural things in the World are powerful sources of energy.

The Natural Laws of the body can be summed up as...

Right Living and Right Thinking.

The following elements are always available to you and packed with vibrant energy for your use... air, water, nutrition, exercise, relaxation, mind power. All discussed in great detail in my Optimum Health Secrets

INCREASE YOUR UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL ENERGY

Many changes are taking place on the planet and more and more people are looking for answers to their questions. To approach and understand Divine Spirit, it is essential to keep your body healthy and free from tiredness, pain, ill-ness and dis-ease.

In fact, your mind should be calm and clear.

Everything that happens to you is recorded and reflected by your body. For this reason your health is affected by your thoughts, emotions, mental attitudes and frame of mind.

Make a plan, using willpower and discipline as tools in the early stages, and after a while, momentum will help you develop good habits.

Once You have prepared your body and mind by purification, then you will have more success with your approach to divine essence.

If you are short of energy, you can invigorate yourself with step-by-step, details in the Optimum Health Secrets collection - spiritual contemplation and easy-to-apply action steps for real results!
