There are moments in every person's life when there is a feeling of being connected to something greater, when the darkness seems to lift and the light of truth shines through. These moments are when the whole of creation is seen as a magical place of Beauty and Harmony, when peace, love and a divine presence unfold within the heart. These precious, and often rare moments can be inspired from anything, a child's smile, the lighting of a candle, the flow of water upon your feet, watching the dance of butterflies, hearing your beloved call your name.
These moments are the soul's awakening.
In the Buddhist tradition the lotus flower is an ancient symbol of spiritual growth and awakening. Their view is very practical and life oriented. The lotus flower is seeded in the muddy, murky waters and pushes through the darkness until it rises above to find the light of the sun. It must go through the darkness before it is able to blossom in fullness. The life-giving waters nourish the seed, allowing it to unfold and expand in the light of the sun. Spiritual growth is similar to the process of the lotus flower: we must go through the darkness, push through the "growing pains" in order to blossom in fullness, on whatever path we walk. The lotus flower is also a symbol of illumination. The gods and goddesses of Hinduism and the Buddha and Bodhhisattvas of Buddhism all sit or stand on a lotus as a sign of their divinity. They have risen above the darkness to attain enlightenment.
Spiritual healing is a process of restoring wholeness to your being. Spiritual healers use the universal life force energy to clear away deep energy blockages that contribute to pain, disease, emotional and mental stress. They cleanse the subtle bodies, balance the energy chakras and help your vital energy to flow. By channeling divine light through you, spiritual healers can activate hidden potential, dissolve karmic ties, awaken higher states of conscious awareness, help you to reconnect to your soul purpose, and align you on your true soul path.
Namaste, the Spiritual Shop, in Ubud offers Deeksha free of charge on Wednesday evenings.
