So here’s the scoop…

There’s so much talk about when it comes to walking a path as a “good spiritual” – whatever that means, right? I imagine it means the dos and don’ts of best practice for spiritual advancement. That sounds right, doesn’t it? The truth is, although it’s not bad to look at what’s preferred as a road map, eventually the journey should have a personal and individual focus.

Im not saying that organized or community spiritual paths are a bad thing, but truthfully anything can become a distraction if an individual’s spiritual unfoldment is not encouraged and nurtured by what is right for them.

This brings me to my main point about balance and being realistic. We all have karmic debt that we are paying off, so we might as well accept ourselves and all of our faults. Sure, we all reach for a higher path to be the best we can be, but let’s not forget the part about living the human experience.

YES! I said it.

Spiritual unfoldment should not be synonymous with spiritual chastisement, fear, and shame of where we are at on our path.

Think: “Its more about my personal soul path and less about my spiritual perfection.”

If you want that strawberry margarita, have it. You can do so with the understanding that the margarita might not bring you closer to your higher self with every sip, but that it’s a human choice and experience. Maybe you’re celebrating a special occasion, or treating yourself at a social event.

The more important takeaway is about your overall level of consciousness – why you live your life the way you do, and where you strive to go. Obviously, a certain lack of consciousness and intention can lead to unsavory things. For example, if you know that alcohol is a stronghold in your life, your mind, or your spirit, one sip means something completely different for you. Consciousness is key!

Instead of focusing on what how to be the best rule follower, focus on what helps your soul unfold. As this happens more and more, the fruits of your labor should start to appear.

Do not worry if you choose to engage in something that’s not high-vibration once in a while. It doesn’t make you less worthy of spiritual unfoldment, and your walk is between you and the divine only.
