Spiritual Awakening: Doing The Spiritual Laundry!!!
As I was doing my human laundry today I began to think how it is a metaphor for a spiritual awakening and spiritual cleansing. You put the laundry in and add soap and the water fills up an then the clothes are shaken vigorously and spun then placed in a dryer and then put away. This is much like cleansing yourself spiritually instead of soap you just purify yourself with water washing yourself clean and preparing yourself to be filled with spirit. You then dress in comfortable attire and sit quietly in a sacred space that you have created and you pray or meditate or do a combination of both. As you finish the prayers and meditation you may feel as though you have been washed in spirit and filled with a new perspective thus allowing yourself to become an action taker. Through this cleansing you open channels that were blocked and you begin to release that which no longer serves you. As in doing human laundry and throwing out that which no longer serves you it is with spiritual laundry you begin to cleanse and release that which no longer serves you. Through this release you will become more cognizant and aware of your purpose. As you find your purpose you will begin to do that which spirit call you to do so as to enhance your personal and professional life while being of service and value to others.
In doing your spiritual laundry and coming alive by being in touch with your divinity and understanding that you are a divine child of GOD with a diving calling you will see doors open that might have been closed in the past. In being awake and aware you will realize just like doing human laundry to cleanse your clothes doing spiritual laundry is necessary to cleanse your soul. In cleansing your soul and ridding yourself of blockages you will be able to explore your higher self and get in touch with your authentic self. In the spiritual laundry process you will begin to detach from that which no longer serves you be it people who no longer resonate with your vision or who support your personal or professional growth to things that no longer have a meaning or purpose in your life.
Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Laundry Process!!!
The first step is to commit to purging that which no longer serves you. These things can be clothes you no longer wear, sporting equipment you no longer use, or the material things that you don’t use anymore. In purging you and letting go you begin to open new channels to receive.
I have always been drawn to water. Yes that is me 3rd from the left in the front row, when I swam competitively in high school. In my 3 years on the team I had to find ways to recreate myself in order to compete. I wanted to do short course and I had a great quick arm turnover, however GOD wanted me to be a distance swimmer and I changed to do the 500 yard free style and the 1650 yard freestyle. As I change and adapted I got better and better. During training when I was in the water there was a sense of peace that came over me as I started to understand the importance of making the mind, body, soul connection. As a competitive swimmer one had to be disciplined in everything they did from nutrition to practice schedules and of course the academics. On top of it all I had a part time job. I managed as I began to understand that you can do everything you desire if you plan your work and work your plan. I did not know this at the time but this was the start of creating that oneness consciousness with GOD and the beginning of understanding that GOD will provide. I stopped swimming competitively after my sophomore year of college as I realized that GOD had some other plans for me and thus began another re-creation period.
