Being in Alignment
Are you aligned? What does it mean to you to be in alignment? And, in alignment with what?
How is your physical body; your mental attitude; your feeling nature; and do you feel connected to God/Source/Creator? Being aligned in life is a constantly moving target, just like being in balance.
Our physical bodies have an Optimal Blueprint when we are born. It is a perfect physical alignment of bones, muscles, tissues, etc. that offer us the ideal situation for perfect physical health and vitality. When we work with the body, when we listen to the needs of our bodies and follow its wisdom, radiant health awaits us. This ideal requires our participation. We must be aware, listen and then take the steps necessary to move into alignment.
Our mental alignment requires a constant assessment of what we believe to be true, what is presented to us and the willingness to question everything shown to us. As we lean in and get curious about life and our perceptions, our beliefs, and our understanding, we can deepen that understanding or expand our knowing. The ability to question everything is a sign of mental intelligence to not get locked into other people’s ideas, beliefs and concepts. We must be willing to stand alone, to be respectful and intrigued enough to soften our resistance in order to broaden our perspectives and learn. This ability lends itself to our overall healing.
Our emotional bodies are an opportunity to feel fully alive. Our bodies and emotions are directly connected and will influence each other. It is imperative that we learn what our emotions are – the full catalogue of what we feel – and assess that impact on our bodies and our lives. We learn that anger is a strong and powerful emotion that can teach us so much about ourselves and our boundaries. Anger expressed respectfully dissipates the energy and heals us in the process. We learn that love is an incredibly powerful force that can heal the depths of our souls if we allow it. Love is not possessive. Big ‘L’ Love is the ability to love each other through our differences, to recognize that we are all One, but it doesn’t mean we have to invite others to our table for daily meals. The ability to feel deeply, to recognize the emotion, to evaluate its purpose and consequences is part of being emotionally aligned. Learn what your triggers are and how you typically respond. Aligning our actions with our emotions is part of our authentic journey.
Our spiritual bodies are who we truly are – they are who we are born to be. Our spiritual journey in this world is to come home to our hearts, come home to our Truth again and again and again – until we recognize, accept and begin to live our lives from that place. It is our connection with God – our relationship with the Creator. It is the realization that we are all connected and that our journeys in this world give us opportunities to heal, grow, shift and align with the ability to love one another and want only the best for their highest good and greatest joy.
Being in alignment is to be connected to all aspects of who we are and to bring cohesiveness to each part as we grow. We will draw in these individual aspects as they pertain to the situation that we find ourselves in. The process of finding our way back to authenticity is aligning mind, body and soul in the best way possible. It is the full acceptance of all that we are and standing together with its truth feeling the resonance.
