Hi beautiful souls,
Welcome to life is magical podcast.
This is your host Srimanju Kattagadda.
Today's topic I have been driven by the common word spirituality.
We use it so much.
I guess I use it a lot because that is where my work is based.
That is where my thoughts are based and just wanted to come back to the very basics of what does spirituality mean.
And now a lot of us do jump in to the religion,
To beliefs and coming into spirituality.
But just on its own have a think about.
It's not for argumentative,
It's only for thought-provoking,
It's only for listening from a perspective.
What it means to me or what I have understood.
I'm sure you may be aligned or you may know much more bigger dynamics than I have so far witnessed or I haven't been sharing here on this podcast.
So how about we go back to the very basics of it.
Many times we do use these metaphors in relation to spirituality as a journey where you are on your own self-discovery or a personal growth.
It's very much as like you know as the time goes in there are many layers that unfolds where we are discovering ourselves in a new dimension,
A new wave of things.
Very closest reference also we have been using is peeling an onion layer.
As we uncover one set of knowing who we are,
We come into another milestone and we get to know ourselves completely in a different dynamics.
If anyone has been closely watching your long-term relationship,
You would understand it.
There are many kind of days where you are just going by it but that the job loss it could be or a health issue,
It could be or a relocation,
It could be birth or entry of a new family member or grief of a family member or your pet.
You understand each other in this journey in completely new dynamics right and that is where you are having a journey with yourself and also seeing understanding everything around you how the frequency is being changed.
It's like we have understood like oh this is it but bank on there is another new chapter that unfolds for us and makes us go deeper just because you are holding to it.
You are able to understand that deeper context and meaning to life and you are being deep dived in further as well.
I have been seeing a deeply closely watching my own growth for the past 14 years and reflecting back a lot.
Every day something new you get to learn when you closely watch yourself and that is the beauty about what the spirituality gives you or gives a meaning and a purpose to your life where you find it's exciting.
Even in the hardest times,
Challenging times,
You get to learn something but when we put the focus on hey this is a tough time the focus is being lost just to feeling the toughness rather than what am I here to learn,
Why am I being challenged with it,
What is that universe is teaching me,
Co-creating with me,
What did I write for myself as a contract,
The lessons to be learned here and in that you are uncovering yourself from a totally new dynamics.
Spirituality can also be seen as a source of light that illuminates the darkness of ignorance and confusion in those hardest times.
It just brings you so much of a clarity and understanding to one's life when you understand nearly whatever we were stuck in is being released because your problem is solved with that understanding of it and sometimes it could take a day or it could take a decade or it could take a whole life to understand some of the perspectives why we have been attracted to a particular thing that we haven't been figured but you have that magnetic pull towards it you keep working on it keep trying on it you can't disconnect with it easily relationship it could be your work it could be or coming up with a new idea it could be or building a prototype it could be any of it that you have been passionately working if you feel stuck you need to change the perspective of the stuckness into welcoming the light.
The other way I also use this reference as like spirituality is a tree that grows and develops over the time and here the nourishment is involved the evolving process is required caring for it is required and right not only at that very moment of where it is a tree but where the seed is germinating there is a lot of references that comes through in the Akashic records as well is through the tree the seed as you nurture it has to crack open like you know even the butterfly crack open where it's so so discomfort so hard so tough and then when it cracks open you get to see a whole new beginning coming up and the responsibility of caring changes and shifts right like when someone is pregnant your caring for yourself is different when the baby is out the caring is so different as well and you become less priority then and the baby becomes some more priority as well right the conditions differ the changes in your thoughts differ and that is the dynamics of the nature the dynamics of the universe that we are abide by that we have to follow but doesn't mean that we have to blindly follow but also understanding it is what's most important and it's like belonging and connection something greater than yourself is the most important thing that you need to be waking up like you know believing there is a bigger picture above you and within you it could be as well wherever however you want to believe that metaphor that is the most important thing that gives you the permission to explore and discover yourself discovering yourself is the most important aspect here and that's a beauty right when you discover yourself you are seeing a different lens it's like you're changing your glasses to different colors and you're getting to see the same tree in different shades of it isn't it beautiful isn't it fun isn't it more joyful as well and that is the most important thing you need to feel more comfortable safe and secure as well being in yourself nearly helps you to reflect back into your own mirror image isn't it just like that um um mirror mirror who is beautiful like you know if something else other than you comes up your ego rises up and here now we learn to work around the ego why is it rising where am I feeling black why am i feeling insecurity and when you are able to be comfortable with it the mirror shows you something else that you're reflecting on your true self and wanting to work on it and you clearly open up to that new frequency as well which helps the individuals as us like to develop the self-awareness self-understanding and that's the beauty about as we develop ourselves we are also developing as a community and as a guide force into our own family as well because you get this new look and you want to show everyone what this new look is about and how you feel it about and you want to nearly educate and change everyone into the new visions you have been seeing right it's it's such a beautiful sense of like a belief that is there greater than yourself and something bigger than our human can even think about it could be the cosmic it could be the source it could be the divine everything knowing and being significant part of it and remembering not to disconnect you from the spirituality or the divine you are part of it you are very much part of the play and your role is equally important to anyone else and that when you know is the dynamics changes the self-love changes the self-worth changes that you automatically fall in love for yourself that your purpose is bigger is incredible to playing the part of it imagine like you know sometimes we do have those down moments where we feel like if i'm missing nobody will miss me but you missing itself will create a lot of havoc and growth and a shift cycle for everyone around you as much as you are involved so either you are in the puzzle and playing along or not in the puzzle you're still playing along because you have been created with a bigger meaning and your contract your soul chose to witness all that is happening in this frequency right now feeling the pain feeling the elevation feeling the roughness feeling the the lag and feeling the abundance like both the polarities are equally important in our life to experience everything it's just like you're having like taste buds to recognize all the different tastes right bitterness sour sweet hot spicy everything is so needed then you understand what do i like most i like this at this moment of time and i like a particular taste at different times like you know again you are categorizing but witnessing is so important and it's just that significant part of you being purposeful and unfolding the life along with the universe reflecting everything back and here the spiritual journey generally wakes us up into our conscious state some are gifted to be wakening up naturally some are gifted every basically everyone is gifted with it but how we recognize our gifts is so magical so some really challenge themselves not to be awake and you get into that awakeness by either a change in the job career triggers or relationship triggers or health triggers or accident triggers sometimes the major major like setback have to happen to realign yourself into your growth that you have said i'm going to commit to these projects now because you have been in a sleep state for so long some are blessed to do it not being in a sleep state right from the young age as well so that is again like you know coming back into the awareness of what you have wanted to come into being into the higher level of consciousness and how you want to work around it as well yeah not being defensive not being silencing up yourself but speaking honoring yourself accepting yourself and this is where your real real connection to yourself happens up and then you see your life no turning back everything is part everything is beautiful everything is wonderful around you and the tougher times get lower because your pressure of the dense energy is not too heavy on it you get to feel this this shell past you you will feel okay i'm going to nearly done with this lesson and i'm going to get new lessons new assignments and that is how we'll be rolling on from one thing to the other and not bringing any dense energies like when i talk about dense energies it could be the guilt shame unworthiness self-worth like all these things that we are repeatedly churning around until we wake up these are what we live by and once we wake up these become minimal some it can completely go for some it could be a trigger still but you know when the trigger is coming how to work because you're increasing your tools in yourself and those tools will help in like our spontaneous um changes in our lives as well yeah the development you see like you know in yourself progressing and that's where miraculous healings happen miraculous abundance comes in or your law of attraction gets so easier to work on or you just are showing up by into coming in by your own dynamics of understanding in your own ways so here i would like to share some of the major things that helps us coping with the stress and adversity it helps us with the inner peace and the calmness during any times of it and bringing some simple lifestyle changes or incorporating some of the tools like meditation it could be or a prayer it could be or a gentle body movement like yoga tai chi chi gong they really help us to release the stress the dense energies and anxiety and bring in the light waves of it and with the light waves is where you get your new ideas new downloads of information and this is where a reiki healing or tapping even might help you with your developing resilience it helps us to bounce back from difficult experiences and where you cultivate your inner strength and connection something greater than yourself we can develop that changes by navigating my own life challenges and yes life or the path is never going to be the same we are going to take the unknown turns twist but knowing that your head gear is there or your engine is functioning well becomes much easier to do those with a less maneuver as well and the biggest thing i find is like finding our purpose and meaning our passion many of us do miss that but here you are bringing that back because you are connecting to something greater than yourself you're connecting to your soul contract you're connecting to your understanding of fire place in the world your world in the world and this helps to provide a sense of direction and motivation in life yeah and as like you know raising up into your spirituality brings your connection into the community by being compassionate by being kind by being empathic because then you understand everyone is going through a tough journey we are not alone we don't need to be alone and we can understand each other beyond the words as well because your sense of recognizing your intuition is stronger and the words need not be the placeholder but the aura the body presence the the measures of the feelings are even more impactful and the first thing that really helped me was the gratitude and gratitude just so simply brings the u-turn change by even simple thing i remember like you know practicing gratitude as like glass of water all right okay i need to be happy that at least i got a half glass of water and slowly i shifted to at least i got some glass that i can always refill what i want and by that you change your outlook improve your overall well-being as well yeah it's just that that beautiful tool that we got within ourselves that we can keep using it and now that you know so much benefit so much of awareness comes through you might also be thinking am i in the awakening stages how do i recognize am i following the protocols of it am i ready for it so some things that um like being here on this podcast listening to me connecting to this means you have been searching hashtag spirituality say for example or hashtag on self-reflection right self-reflection is the most important thing that we engage with ourselves with our life experiences not wanting to change them not regretting about them but noticing the thoughts feelings behaviors accepting beyond us or noticing the synchronicities also called coincidences right um if you have watched that movie serendipity that reminds you so much about it we do pay attention to the numbers or the meaningful occurrences that are happening and the same book coming back or same wisdom coming back to you by different people different versions of it as well yeah those synchronicities are big part of our awakening or especially a project that you might be keenly working as well with the divine there your intuition might be like so heightened that you feel like psychic abilities are opening up that you're able to like come your music come you're getting a message through the music it could be or you're in the nature you get a wisdom or a download or you're able to channel or you're telepathically talk to your friend and your friend talks back calling you physical phone um so there is so much of that intuition awakens we think it's only for some people not for all but we do forget we all are born with that capability of it yeah and a huge sense of purpose as well it's like you wake up every morning with sense of knowing that i'm here to change the world i'm here to make the shift and a frequency change like you know a small impact for your friend or a colleague or to a bigger impact as well or having a clear sense what you want to achieve in life what you want to go with the flow of things um the other thing is you're sleeping better your habits are changing into more aligned um your connection to the pets are more deeply as well to the people is very deep as well those emotional and physical changes are so heightened so sensitive as well like you know you pay attention to your mind body and the soul in all in all way in all areas as well yeah and these are just the main things like you know these are the main things that are coming to my mind right now like you know it doesn't mean like um this is it you need to check box everything but these are kind of a guidelines it's not one thing it fits all one shoe size is not for all like you know so being on that being comfortable to wherever you could be on the step minus one or you could be on um hundred step it really doesn't matter the moment we wake up is the moment we get to do the work and that's the most important thing that we are taking the permission we are doing things that are exciting us i hope these topics have been resonating with you or you have started having a keen interest or aligning you confirming you on your path the choice is always ours no push and of course with the quote like no pain no gain like you know there is always some parts of it are going to be painful but now with that pain we know the awareness of it and we can transmute that frequency of pain to gain as well much easily with your spiritual tools so here you go good luck on your journey and i wish you the strength love gratitude for being here and supporting you and so as we all support into this community work and um raising the frequencies of the mother earth so we all hold up to what's coming up with that lots of love let this all sink in feel process into it and connect back to you soon namaste and if you listen to till the very last i would love to ask you to leave a comment or a review as that really helps this podcast to reach many others who might be benefiting out of it thank you
