According to legends, a hummingbird carries important spiritual meaning. They are attributed for floating through the air outside of time so we see them as messengers from beyond.
The Native American cultures portrayed hummingbirds as healers and carriers of light. They are helpers from The Spirit World who bring luck, joy, and love to those they approach.
Certainly, hummingbirds have the ability to open our hearts and eyes to the wonders of the world.
Here is some of the symbolism hummingbirds carry in our collective unconsciousness and the spiritual messages they potentially share!
7 Cosmic Messages of Seeing a Hummingbird Too Often:
1. Adaptability
Because hummingbirds are the smallest of birds, they effortlessly fly and make acrobatic stunts. They easily fly up, down, backward, change direction in an instant or quickly shift from full speed to standing still.
This ability reminds us to be adaptable to life. It urges us to be willing to step back, observe, look at things from a different viewpoint and shift into action when needed.
2. Physical lightness
Hummingbirds are very lightweight, they can weigh as light as a penny.
This lightness reminds us to lighten up, release the weight of doubts, fears, and worries. Like hummingbirds, our spirits can hover and soar for long periods of time.
3. Infinity
When hummingbirds hover, they move their wings in figure eight pattern, a symbol for infinity.
It teaches us that time is an illusion of the mind, to think beyond time, to heal the past and center our presence and awareness in the moment.
4. Search
Hummingbirds keep drinking nectars from flowers. They never tire searching for the sweetness of life.
They teach us to do the same because life is, indeed, full of sweetness if we only know where to find it.
5. Go beyond
With their long, narrow beaks and longer tongues, hummingbirds can get past the bitter exteriors of flowers to dive fully into the sweetness within.
Obviously, this teaches us to go beyond appearances. On the surface, things or life may look bitter, but when we dig into the core, there lies the essence of it all.
6. Joy
For hummingbirds, the nectar of life is one of the ultimate symbols of joy. They are filled with joy, hovering from flower to flower, living fully in the moment while following the path to what gives them joy.
From this act, hummingbirds teach us that we have the power to be always joyful on our way to achieving our goals. That it is possible to stay fully present and joyful in all our undertakings.
7. Be your real self
The soft hum of the hummingbird’s wings is quite distinct. It is said to carry a healing light and magical energy.
This is a symbol for showing your soft hum to the world too no matter how insignificant you think it is. Being who you really are might be a healing energy for someone.
So, if you see hummingbirds, pay attention to what it means. Calm your mind, open your heart and look within to tune in to the wisdom and wonderful gifts of light and presence the hummingbird gives.
Trees are very powerful according to Taoist masters. Aside from absorbing carbon dioxide and turning it into oxygen, trees also have the ability to absorb negative energy and transform it into positive.
The roots of trees dig deep into Earth, the deeper their roots, the higher they rise to the skies. They absorb the energy of the Earth as well as the universal force of the sky.
Trees are considered the most spiritually advanced plant on Earth because of their constant meditation with subtle energy.
You can establish a relationship with trees so long as you understand their language. And they can help you open up your energy channels to cultivate calm, presence and vitality.
They also can benefit from you when you help them eliminate their blocks and devitalized parts. Like any other relationships, you benefit from each other by the constant cultivation of your connection.
How to Use The Chi Energy of Trees to Heal Yourself?
Follow these steps to choose the right tree, to establish an energy relationship with that tree and eventually heal yourself:
1. How to Choose The Right Tree?
Humans have been using parts of trees for medications and healing almost as long as humanity exists.
But along the way they discovered what type of tree should be used for what type of remedy.
The big ones are the best, like pines. They radiate Chi, nourish the blood, strengthen the nervous system, and even help in longevity while feeding the soul and spirit.
Pines, which are often the subjects of ancient Chinese poetry and paintings, are considered to be “immortal trees.”
There are, however, other trees which you can choose from. The big ones have maximum energy while those that sit up near the streams are also the best.
Trees have different characteristics. Some are hotter or warmer and others are cooler or colder. With constant practice, you are able to distinguish each species from the others.
The different characteristics of trees:
– Cypresses and cedars have the ability to lower the temperature and can feed Yin energy.
– Willows fight the dry winds and eliminate excess moisture from the body, reduce blood pressure, strengthen the urinary tract and bladder.
– Elms can calm the mind and strengthen the stomach.
– Maples fight the dry winds and help reduce any pain.
– Carobs help eliminates internal heat and balance conditions of the heart.
– Banyan trees or Bengali figs purify your heart and help eliminate moisture in the body.
– Cinnamons can remove the cold from the heart and the stomach.
– Fir trees help absorb bruises to reduce sweating and heal bone fractures.
– Hawthorns help in digestion, strengthen the intestine and fight low blood pressure.
– Birches help lower body temperature, eliminate body moisture and detoxify the body.
– Prunes feed the spleen, the stomach, the pancreas as well as calm the mind.
– Figs help eliminate excess heat in the body by increasing salivation, it also nourishes the spleen, and helps cure diarrhea.
– Knees help strengthen the bladder and relieve urinary problems in women.
Keep in mind that small trees don’t have enough energy to accommodate you while gigantic trees may drown you with their energy.
It’s best to select one that is medium sized and robust.
2. How to Establish an Energy Relationship With The Tree?
You can create a silent communion rite with the tree that is understood by both of you and the tree.
But first, you must see the personality of the tree and its life. There are trees that are very generous and quickly give you the energy you need.
Other trees are weak or ill and need your healing energy first.
Some are friendly while some are plain indifferent depending on their energy.
You can work with all of them to find which tree works best with you.
Be open and give them your respect without pushing them too hard to bend to your purpose.
The most important thing when establishing a connection is to be near the tree so you can touch it, to open yourself up shamelessly and to be clear in your intent while showing love.
By activating these four elements you will establish an energy relationship with the tree:
– Touch;
– Openness;
– Sincerity;
– Love;
Just make sure that you spend at least 30 minutes around the tree. However, some trees might respond quicker depending on their energy.
Here are some techniques you can practice:
1. Tree Hugging:
2. Sitting facing the tree:
3. Meditation near the tree:
4. Standing facing the tree:
3. How The Healing Process Begins?
Visit the tree regularly. Building a relationship with trees takes a longer time than building one with humans.
But if you keep returning back to the same tree, you are likely to begin your lasting friendship with it.
Once you visit it regularly, it will soon expect you. Some say that it might even miss your presence.
Creating a spiritual communion with trees is like making love that requires sensuality and tenderness.
When you finally establish that communion, you don’t need to control the situation. Just allow yourself to relax and melt in that communion.
Allow the tree to guide you to your healing. It might remedy your issue or it might give you intuitive guidance as how to find additional help.
If nothing else, it will heal the spiritual aspect of your problem.
“In Japan, people practise ‘forest bathing’, where they spend quiet time absorbing the wisdom of ancient forests, taking long walks among the trees to stimulate their immune system.
In Taoism, students are encouraged to meditate among trees, and it is believed that the trees will absorb negative energies, replacing them with healthy ones. Trees are seen as a source of emotional and physical healing, and themselves as meditators, absorbing universal energies.”
NOTE: Our advice is to first consult your doctor and use everything else as additional help.
Our real self is who we really are deep from our soul with all the parts that we try to subconsciously suppress. Our ideal self is who we want to be, the superego we look up to.
Sometimes there is a mismatch between who we really are and the characteristics of the superego we look up to. Most of us try to hide this difference by faking who they are.
The best version of ourselves will emerge when we truly accept who we are with all our negative and positive sides.
But, the path to discovering the best version of ourselves can be tricky.
By trying to be who we are not, we are inauthentic with ourselves. This prevents us from becoming the best version of ourselves.
We are all inauthentic with ourselves from time to time. It’s normal in the society we live in today. However, it’s important to recognize these moments and recalibrate yourself to your truth!
Here are the signs that you are being inauthentic with yourself so you can be aware when this happens and recalibrate.
7 Signs That Show When You are Not Being Authentic to Yourself:
1. You speak what would make you look good, not what you really mean.
For some reasons, there comes a time when we hold back what we really think of something. Instead, we say what we think others approve of.
While it may be working fine in the short run, in the long run, it does not project who you really are.
Sometimes, faking your opinion for a long time might even convince you that it’s what your true stance is. It might distance you from your own truth and your real self.
2. You lie about details in your stories that make you look good.
When you try hard enough to be the person you idealize, you fabricate stories and details that go along with the image you want to project.
By doing this, you are giving your memory additional work. The more you do this, the more you confuse your mind as to which is which.
As a result, you have a mind that is not as sharp as it used to be. And, you have a schism in your story of yourself that might confuse you even more about who you really are.
3. You lose control over small things.
Because you have a lot in your mind, you overthink things and lose control. This leaves no room for thinking things over.
Small issues threaten your stability and mounting pressures will eventually freak you out. This happens because you no longer give yourself that space to be just you.
When you are your real self there is no friction. There is no need of forcing to be someone. This saves you tremendous amount of mental and emotional energy.
4. You follow other people’s lifestyles instead of living one of your choosing.
Being the person your superego presents means to be accepted by the kind of people you give authority to approve of your ideal self. This means you have to go with their lifestyle.
If partying every night is their way of life, then you are left with no choice but to party with them. Staying late too often will soon create havoc in your health.
But most importantly, even if they live a healthy lifestyle, you do not get a saying in choosing what you really want to do and how you truly want to live your life.
5. You avoid change.
You shy away from change because you don’t want to deviate from the image you created for yourself. The Ego hates change!
You feel this is the image others accepted you for, after all you spend so much time building this image thus all you want to do is keep it as it is.
Your real self is not a static image or something you can define, it’s always in motion and in a state of becoming.
6. You disregard your intuition.
Because you are busy living different lives and taking care of your different personas, you have no time to listen to your intuition. At times, you even choose to disregard it.
Your intuition is a part of you that communicates with your soul and tries to translate its guidance to you.
Sometimes it might even be confusing, or give you unwanted outcome, but it guides you based on the bigger picture not on what you momentarily want.
7. You evade difficult emotions.
By not being your real self you are creating emotions that you would not have felt if you did not pretend to be the person that you are not.
To reduce your workload, you try to stay away or even run from emotions that are difficult to handle. This suppression of emotions means that you are turning your back on yourself.
The emotions you feel are probably the truest part of you and you are turning your ear away. Ignoring your emotions projects to the world that it should ignore your real self too!
Not being your real self affects the kind of people you attract into your life!
Not being your real self affects your relationships more than anything else. You keep attracting wrong people into your life and building relationships based on lies and fakeness.
The only way to attract the right people into your life and build real relationships is to be who you really are.
When the real you shines, you give yourself permission to become the best version of yourself.
We are always connected to the same field of consciousness. The matter only lies on our awareness or unawareness in a given moment. The level of perception differs.
At times, a-ha moments happen spontaneously. At other times divine guidance led us to synchronicity, information or divine timing.
This connection gives us a universal flow of energy that we want to keep 24/7. But there are just days when this connection is so hard to establish, much more perceive.
With dreams and meditation the connection to this divine cosmic guidance is easier to find because of our increased and heightened awareness. We know these states can induce inner guidance.
But there are moments when we receive cosmic guidance that happen every day of our lives only that most people are unaware when it happens and overlook them.
3 Overlooked Moments When You Receive Cosmic Guidance Daily:
1. While Having a Run
With exercises like walking, running or yoga, you know you are preparing yourself for a meditative experience. Especially when surrounded with Nature.
However, running has something special. It pushes you just enough so it feels like an exercise so your mind can be present, but not as hard so your mind won’t be able to think.
Another factor in running is that you are alone with yourself and your thoughts until you run.
When you do an exercise alone, you have a higher chance of having a meditative experience that will ultimately lead you to a cosmic guidance.
The sound of your breath, the chirping of the birds, the trees, the feel of the wind or the sound of your feet that routinely touch the pavement, are all triggers to put you in an active meditation.
The act itself of breathing and putting one leg after another in a certain tempo is a repetitive process that helps your mind to go into an autopilot mode.
In such state you are connected with the depths of your self, with your inner guidance and the cosmic intelligence around you.
You are moving, in flow and stimulated enough to think. You are fully present and connected with the higher levels of your being. From this state of awareness, it’s really easy to receive cosmic guidance and intuitive wisdom.
2. While Taking a Shower
Taking a shower is about cleaning our bodies, we all know that. But the psychological aspect of this act makes this moment much more than just about cleaning our bodies.
It’s that time of our day when we step away from the chatter of the outside world and go into our quiet, safe and purifying place.
It’s like entering a special chamber where we quiet our mind and focus on our body with the ritual of caring and cleansing.
In our subjective experience, showering exists beyond space and time, in some different state of existence unaffected by the outside world. In such state our mind is able to just flow, without being filtered by the voice inside our heads.
This is why we ponder such philosophical questions while we shower, or have a sudden burst of creativity and pop up with a mindboggling idea. It’s because we do not have a filter. It’s a kind of a meditative experience where our thoughts just flow.
As we go deeper into the meditative experience, we are connected with the psychosphere of our intuitive guidance, to the collective unconscious and the cosmic intelligence all around us. In such state it’s really easy to receive their messages and wisdom.
3. While Preparing a Meal
When you are in a familiar territory, your mind tends to go on autopilot. Mix this with a well known task, like preparing a meal you’ve already made a couple of times before, and you have simulated an active meditation for yourself without even realizing.
Most people don’t realize the beauty of this moment of preparing a meal. It’s a rare mix of elements that make you feel present to the moment, put your mind on autopilot and give you a sense of satisfaction as you are doing something that will fill you up with energy.
For your mind, this means securing your survival. It signals your brain that everything is alright, that you have acquired food and you will give energy to your organism soon.
This moment is most often a strong inducer of a flow state. It’s just you and the ingredients. You can play a meditative music or simply enjoy the quietness of the moment.
This way, you’re giving yourself a time-out from mental, physical, and energetic clutter and align yourself with source energy.
From that place, we can easily connect to the higher intuitive guidance and receive its messages just by remaining in that state. Well, at least for as long as we prepare our meal.
Living inside a cosmos that consists of more than trillion galaxies it is almost certain that there are highly evolved beings who have their civilization within our galaxy or beyond.
No matter the civilization, on the bigger picture we are all connected to the same field of consciousness.
This means that as one civilization evolves with its consciousness it will ascend to similar truths of The Universe it is a part of, as other civilizations before or after it.
As humanity, we are species that are on the verge of another evolutionary step. This step, first begins inside the spirit and consciousness of the individuals within humanity.
Of course, not all of us are on the same point in our spiritual journey. But there are some individuals who have already made this first step and ascended to higher levels of consciousness.
If you find yourself in any of these 10 signs than you most certainly have highly evolved consciousness and you are one of the first pillars of humanity’s ascension!
10 Signs You are a Being With Highly Evolved Consciousness:
1. You understand and honor the Oneness of all beings. You know, despite the role each creature plays, we all belong to one consciousness, we all come from one source of energy.
2. You know that separation is only an illusion as one action leaves an effect on everything else. However, you know that it’s a necessary illusion for this oneness to grow.
3. You know the higher value of truth and always tell it. And even if you try to lie, your vibration will expose you through the energy you emit to those around yourself, because deep inside you don’t really like to lie.
4. You act with rational decisions aside from your egoistic emotions. If there is hatred, you act with love, because you know what will solve the problem easier. You rise above your ego instead of measuring it.
5. You honor all life. You know the value of life and never approve killing another incarnate being regardless of the circumstances or species.
6. You do not harm your environment in any way. You know its importance, thus, you do everything to minimize the harm done to the environment, at least from your part.
7. You don’t follow the idea of “ownership.” You believe that everything that exists is for everyone because this planet offers everything we need for our survival unconditionally.
8. You strongly believe that we need to cooperate with one another for the common good. You believe in sharing the functions and responsibilities with everyone without competition.
9. You don’t believe in punishment but rather, in healing. You understand that healing the core of what causes harm in society will save more lives than punishing. When you see beings that act to harm others, you understand it comes from a place of deep pain or ignorance.
10. You have transcended lack because you know you are an eternal being. You know your ultimate essence is pure consciousness. You do not fear lacking anything because you know you are creator. Therefore, you experience ultimate abundance, health, happiness, and prosperity.
Love is the only thing that people die for, and live for, in the same time.
Regardless of age, education, spiritual conviction or status, love can cause a person to trip and question everything. It is something that makes us truly human.
Even though this word has been used to describe a variety of emotions, real love goes deeper than being just an emotion. It’s a state of being, a frequency of existing, a realm of reality.
The modern representation of Love has been linked to owning somebody, feeling complete or broken whether the one we love loves us back.
But that’s just one psychologically twisted form out of many.
All these confusions come up because we slowly forget the real meaning behind love. In the basic sense, Love is the primordial force that moves 2 separate things together to create a whole new being.
Love is a force that unifies into wholeness!
Our human psyche interprets this force through emotions and attraction. It translates and evokes it depending on different psychological factors.
For example, most people when saying that they are in love with someone they are actually in love with the unconscious aspect of themselves they see in this other person.
That’s why most relationships are based on owning each other, because people feel entitled to the aspects they are in love with. Subconsciously, those are parts of themselves.
Love is a force that wants you to be whole, one way or another. It unifies everything into wholeness. It’s a force of unification and expansion.
There are many philosophies and attempts to explain Love and even more produces inspired by it.
According to the Ancient Greeks Love can be experienced in 7 different forms. Their philosophy says that there are 7 types of Love that differ in energy and intensity.
The 7 Types Of Love According To The Ancient Greeks:
The Eros is the love in a form of intimate desire that you feel towards another person. It’s governed by a sexual attraction that is mostly physical in nature.
On an energetic level, Eros love flows from the Root and Sacral Chakras. The Root Chakra energy has been with us since the primitive times, even before love had its name.
Passion and pleasure are brought by the Sacral Chakra.
As quickly as it comes, this type of love quickly fades away. This makes every relationship that is rooted in Eros to not last much.
2. The Philia Love
The Philia is the love you have for your friends and family. This feeling is more rooted on companionship or friendship.
On an energetic level, Philia comes from the heart Chakra as it is based on mutual feelings of trust, respect, and admiration or acceptance.
In a romantic relationship, the Eros and Philia love may thrive, which depends if both partners discovered Philautia (self-love).
If a relationship is based on the 3 of these, it will last much longer.
3. The Storge Love
The Storge is the love and affection between parents and children. This love is rooted on dependency and familiarity of connection.
On an energetic level, Storge love comes from the Heart and Crown Chakras and is very pure and unconditional.
The Greeks said that many adults seek this type of love in their romantic relationships. but because of the high levels of dependency and attachment involved, it may lead to complications.
This type of love doesn’t work well in romantic relationships because it changes the flow of energy and makes it ego driven, resulting in codependency and toxicity to the relationship.
4. The Agape Love
The Agape is the Universal love we feel for one another, the planet, the Universe or God, nature and all other creatures. It is an unconditional love and the life force of the Universe.
On an energetic level, Agape flows from all the Chakras and signifies equality and balance.
We strengthen Agape love by meditating, spending time in nature and enhancing our spiritual connection.
All relationships have a touch of Agape love as we glimpse into this divinity as we look into our partner’s eyes.
5. The Ludus Love
The Ludus is the love we have for play, fun and adventure. It’s the childish love we all have when we play as little kids, the love we have for the play itself.
Ludus is all about seeking pleasure and having fun and comes from the Sacral Chakra, on an energetic level.
In this type of love, the people involved focus only on the experiences and not on the actual attraction.
Ludus is projected in a form of a playful relationship characterized by flirting, seducing or having intimate experiences without any feelings.
6. The Pragma Love
The Pragma is the love which is built on personal qualities, shared goals, and duty. It’s mostly projected through love for one’s home country, a political party or higher purpose.
On an energetic level, Pragma type flows from the Root and Heart Chakras.
On a deeper sense, this type is all about surviving together and working towards a common goal. It is strengthened by the respect and admiration the people involved that they have for each other.
A love that starts from Eros or Storge has a chance of developing into the Pragma type. Arranged marriages fall under this category.
7. The Philautia Love
The Philautia is the love a person has for oneself. We need to realize this love within us to have a sense of belonging and develop our purpose in life.
On an energetic level, Philautia love flows from the Heart and Third Eye Chakras.
When we love ourselves and believe in ourselves, our intuition opens up and leads us to our purpose.
Relationships where both people have a healthy Philautia while maintaining strong attraction and passion towards one another tend to be the strongest and last longest.
But Love cannot be defined!
By knowing all these 7 types of love, it is much easier for us to articulate the kind of emotion we feel.
When we know the type of relationship we are in, we can easily evaluate where we stand and where the relationship is going.
But Love is not that easily defined. Love is never complicated, but it cannot be explained. Sometimes it’s a word, sometimes a symphony.
It’s only the things that come as a result of it that make things complicated and describable. It’s the intensity that creates categories.
But Love is beyond explanation, it’s beyond The Universe and ourselves because we are all products of Love. All we can do is resonate in its frequency and give its fruits.
For whatever reason, there are people who were emotionally neglected in their childhood.
Most of us are not even aware that we were emotionally neglected and live with this hurt. I know I did for so long without even realizing.
Even though unconscious, this emotional hurt and trauma play major roles in our lives and decisions.
Check the following symptoms to see if you are still hurting. From there, you can find most suitable ways for immediate healing.
10 Symptoms that You Were Emotionally Neglected as a Child and Still Need Healing:
1. You lack self-discipline and are scared to stand for yourself. You let others believe that you are wrong instead of defending your stance and telling them the truth.
2. You feel something is missing in your life but don’t know what is it that could make you whole. You know you need love but could not coherently speak about it because, in the first place, you don’t know what real love is.
3. You are a very independent person and may even take pride for it. Asking others for help is not your cup of tea and you don’t even feel comfortable working with other people.
4. You would rather be alone than with others because you find problems in fitting in. As a result, you keep a space between you and other people.
5. You feel sad, unhappy or depress from time to time without apparent reason. Not knowing what makes you unhappy frustrates you more than anything else.
6. You don’t share your feelings with anyone for the fear of being misunderstood. Because you choose to keep your emotions inside you, you fail to recognize some of your feelings.
7. No matter how much you try to be compassionate with your loved ones, you lack the ability to do so because of your own pent-up emotions inside you. You feel bad and end up criticizing yourself for the lack of your own understanding.
8. You are overly sensitive with your dealings with others and easily feel embarrassed or ashamed. What is normal for others is a disaster to you, feeling embarrassed in funny situations and getting upset with the smallest things.
9. You establish a strong connection with animals because you feel they’re the only creatures who never judge nor stop loving you. Hence, you spend time connecting with them than you do with humans.
10. You have a low self-confidence and low self-esteem because you keep on thinking how your parents neglected your emotional needs in your childhood. You fail to see the fact that in order to grow and heal, you have to acknowledge every emotion that you feel.
How to Heal From Emotional Neglect:
If you were emotionally neglected, we know that the experience was not easy because of the trauma going through it created. However, as difficult as it may seem, accepting that it happens and embracing it fully is the first step to healing.
You are no longer a child who depends at the mercy of your caretakers. The rein to your emotions is already in your hands and you hold the power to either move forward or sway to other directions.
What most people do that feels incredibly right, but it’s actually terribly wrong:
1. They try to find relationships where people will give them the things they didn’t get from their parents.
2. They attach themselves to people who remind them of their parents and try to fix them as way of vicariously repairing their damaged parents.
3. They invest too much energy trying to actually change and fix their parents so they will give them now what they needed when they were young.
These are 3 ways of trying to cope with emotional neglect, but none of them truly heals the individual who is hurting.
Instead, these are ways of running away from dealing with what happened in the past and trying to change it.
There is no better way to follow than the road to healing and freedom.
Here what you can do to start healing your emotional self:
– The first step is acknowledging the hurt and the emotional neglect.
– The second step is to stop trying to change or refraim the past but, instead, confronting the totality of our painful experiences. That is the only way to gain mastery over the past.
This allows us to objectively revisit what happened so that we can reassess it from a more mature and objective vantage point.
– The third step is to go through these painful memories from your childhood again and again until you stop feeling distress.
It’s time that you reconnect with your emotions, deal with them and get yourself back to being whole.
The soul is at the core of our being. It’s the eternal essence that is connected with the source.
Many cultures and religions speak of the soul as separate entity from your spirit. The soul, in fact, is projected in a couple of ways, or elements.
Your spirit, your mind, your body and heart are all representation of your soul but on a different vibratory level.
All of them function together so your soul can grow, develop and evolve. Your being stretches through all those levels. We exist multidimensionally.
Your soul collects lessons through all its lifetimes and it is connected with The Universal truths. Through our life we can get lost inside the illusions of our mind and forget these essential truths.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance to remind ourselves of these truths inside our soul to ensure that we never go off course from our life’s highest path.
14 Cosmic Truths Your Soul Knows:
Here are 14 life truths that our soul wants our conscious mind to remember:
1. You are not absolutely alone in your chosen path. If once in a while you feel isolated, alone or lost, open your eyes to everything around you: the plants, animals, nature, and other humans living life fully. You are surrounded by life and love!
2. Embrace and respect your roots because they are a part of who you truly are. Whatever the circumstances of your roots, it’s no coincidence that you belong there for a purpose you alone can fulfill. In a way, a part of who you are is their product.
3. Be open to both the good and the bad that could happen in your life. Good things make you appreciate life while bad things provide you a chance to grow and become a better individual.
4. Love yourself first because not all people could give you the love that you need. You may be full of imperfections or flaws, but as long as you try to become the best version of yourself, falling in love with yourself comes naturally.
5. No matter how much you’ll try, you have no power to control everything. Instead, find out what you can control and do your best, even if that’s only a part of your choices.
6. Own your fears but be not limited by them. While it’s recommended that you take proper caution for things that have the potential to harm you, this should not prevent you from taking risks and making mistakes where the secret to all success lies.
7. Cultivate your faith whether it be religion, spirituality or the people around you. When you have the right kind of faith, you can move mountains and even manifest miracles.
8. Everything will come to pass. Everything that begins has to end, thus keep the most of your time, cherish all that you’ve got, and persevere in adversity, it will all come to pass.
9. Give more time to meditation and self-reflection. When you meditate and reflect, you will strengthen your spirit and know yourself much better.
10. You are always enough to be yourself. Others don’t define your worth. You are who you think you are regardless of what others say about you.
11. The NOW is all there really is. Be truly present. Time is just an illusion of your mind to deal with change and create meaning for your personal story.
12. The shape of your character reflects what your soul has been through. Trials and sufferings strengthen your soul, making you an individual with strong and unwavering character.
13. Your beauty always comes from the inside. Allow your inner beauty to shine. Your real beauty is rooted within; the more beautiful you are inside, the more it shines.
14. Nations and groups are formed by souls. The quality of a nation’s culture is greatly governed by the quality of the souls that shape it.
