Hello dear friend,
Thank you for stopping by. I wonder if you have visited Athens: my second home? If you haven't I strongly recommend you put it on your bucket list! It will surely feed your spirit as well as gladden your heart!
Just being
in Athens - with the ancient temples of the Acropolis at its heart and the word
Theos (God) often on the people’s lips - can take you to a higher level of
spiritual awareness.
In a land
where St Paul himself preached the Gospel, where churches crowd together and
the name of the Virgin Mary is constantly on the lips of its people, it is
difficult to ignore the spiritual side of life. That elusive spiritual side of our
nature is stirred as the very air itself seems filled not just by sunshine but
with the whisperings of past deep secrets.
The
spiritual side of our multi-dimensional structure is the one that has long been
ignored. The trio of mind, body and spirit has been reduced to the duo of body
and mind, it is little wonder then that the twenty-first century disease of
superficiality has encroached upon mankind and is feeding off the ailing spirit.
Yet in rare moments of supreme happiness we can feel the zinging of the
spirit as a palpable, living part of our being. This experience is beyond the
mind and the body and yet an integral part of it since we three are one.
To truly get
the best out of life it therefore follows that unless we take time to nourish
all three aspects of ourselves we are not fully living. And since a harmonious
life is the most fulfilling one maybe it's time to give that elusive spiritual
side a bit of attention. Perhaps you have never given much thought to your
spirit that has been described as the 'essential nature of a person'. And yet,
with just a little attention you can achieve that balance and perspective that
you unconsciously crave - that illusory 'peace of mind'. And when you get a
little deeper into your own awareness you will begin to realise that the very
craving for peace was your spirit crying out for your attention.
If you want
to nourish your spirit you can send out a prayer for someone else. You don't need to use special words, just ask for what you want
with a sincere heart. Norman Vincent Peale in his bestselling book The Power of Positive Thinking says of
prayer, "Personally, I believe that prayer is a sending out of vibrations
from one person to another and to God. All of the universe is in vibration.
There are vibrations in the molecules of a table. The air is filled with
vibrations. The reaction between human beings is also a vibration. When you
send out a prayer for another person, you employ the force inherent in a
spiritual universe. You transport from yourself to the other person a sense of
love, helpfulness, support - a sympathetic, powerful understanding - and in
this process you awaken vibrations in the universe through which God brings to
pass the good objectives prayed for. Experiment with this principle and you
will know its amazing results."
Let me know how you get on.
God bless,
