Awakening the Soul (September 17, 2007)
(Path toward Enlightenment – Step 2)
In order to embark on true spiritual journey, your Soul must be awakened. There are so many people who are intellectually interested in spirituality and the concept of enlightenment, but the Soul is not still yet awakened. The difference is that with the awakened Soul universal wisdom that you learn from books and lectures is not simply stimulating your Mind intellectually. You should be able to apply it into your daily life, own healing and empowerment. Learning spirituality at the intellectual level, but not putting it into practice in the own life, is not considered as spiritual journey. There are also people who are willing to help others, but not taking care of their own Selves. This is not true spiritual journey either.
When your Soul is awakened, the Soul guides your life, not the Mind. It means that your Soul was activated to make absolute commitment to your Self’s healing, learning and empowerment, searching own Truth. There is no excuse.
Souls awaken often through experiencing painful, traumatic events, such as physical illness or emotional issues. Unfortunately, humans tend to learn lessons through painful, traumatic events, rather than happy, joyful experiences. In other words, happy, joyful experiences do not give you an opportunity to change, simply allowing you to be where you are, and you continue to be happy. However, if you experience painful, traumatic events, you don’t want to continue to suffer, but you are urged to change the course of action to get out of the pain. That is why it is the opportunity to learn and change for the better. Every painful, traumatic event, as much as happy, pleasant event, has spiritual meaning that teaches you lessons and it is the opportunity for you to grow. Everyone has the ability to hear the lessons subconsciously, but most of them don’t want to hear or neglect them, even if they hear. If your Soul is awakened, you will be able to face them even if they accompany additional pain and difficulty.
Some Souls are awakened since they were born on the Earth. For instance, my Soul was awakened since I remember in my childhood. I knew all spiritual answers as to what was right or wrong. I knew my spiritual destiny and heard inner guidance. Nonetheless, my connection to spiritual guidance was maintained on and off for the purpose of learning throughout my early age, until I truly experienced massive spiritual awakening in July 2003. It happened during my spiritual retreat as witnessed by my then spiritual master as well as my spiritual fellow friends. This awakening totally reorganized my energy structure. This experience reassured and defined the course of the direction for my spiritual journey.
Awakening the Soul is just the beginning. The awakened Soul continues to evolve to the higher level with regular practice and nourishment. This is called “increasing the frequency of the vibration.” The higher the Soul is evolved, the higher the frequency of the energetic vibration is.
I have witnessed that many Souls were awakened through my Reiki or acupuncture practice. Even some of my Feng Shui clients successfully awakened their Souls through the application of Feng Shui into their apartments/houses. Energy and spiritual healing is the great tool for awakening as it touches and communicates the Soul directly…
