Most things in the human, physical world begin with an idea, a concept, or a simple thought. There are many thoughts these days that the world is unsettled, uncertain and changing. Yet change is inevitable for growth – more so, when we are faced with challenge.
Uncomfortable though it can be, growth is an important part of the reason we are here, the natural evolution of our lives. We go through every day matters and we grow through them, the interactions, the emotions, the loves, the losses without even realising it sometimes.
Besides our everyday existence, many aspire and seek a deeper meaning to life, looking for a purpose for all this challenge and growth reaching for a more balanced perspective which enables joy, peace, love and cooperation, especially through those perplexing times.
In our spiritual lives we strive and seek for balance, for peace, coherence and harmony. Harmony is described as ‘a pleasing combination of different parts’ – everything in our lives settling into a whole, working in cooperation with each other to bring about a pleasing peaceful perspective.
How do we begin to achieve this seemingly simple yet sometimes elusive goal?
Our guides, angels and spiritual caretakers encourage and guide us to this concept of harmony, of balance within ourselves and in the broader sense with each other. They do this for they know we have a greater job to do than simply learn, experience and grow through our human lives. We are a very important part of a higher, greater, goal. To explore this further I believe we should look to the human heart.
The physical heartbeat keeps us working at a steady, balanced pace throughout our daily lives. For balance we need to let go, be open, and be free. Clutching too hard to one aspect knocks us out of balance and so, the free flow of energy is affected. If we hold onto our grudges, our discontent with the people and situations in our lives, it builds resentments, regrets, and feelings of rejection. We end up assuming and projecting ideas of who people are, sometimes without justification – all lower energy patterns.
Life, and its hurdles can be easier if we balance our energy and our ‘patterns’. Becoming more open-hearted and compassionate, using the gift of discernment, tolerance and patience can help life flow easier.
Humanity has a greater purpose for this ‘everyday growth’; it means we can raise our vibration, our energy, to a higher level of being – a more balanced, harmonious way of being, without judgement, Training ourselves instead towards an all-encompassing understanding of each other with a willingness to learn from different perspectives and encourage further growth, without the struggle.
This objective instills acceptance, love, compassion, surrender and connects us all to one another and the Source we individually praise and worship whatever belief system we are concerned with. This is a deeper harmony than our own personal balancing act.
With connection and unity, not just within ourselves and to each other, but to an idea that when we work together to understand each other in love and joy we can raise the vibration of the whole planet which has even greater aspects of harmony within our universe and beyond.
We are a planet of duality, and in spiritual terms, we see and experience both light and dark. We have absolute power within us how we treat those two offerings. We have this tool of choice which is so underestimated, sometimes even feared. People prefer not to choose in case they make the wrong one, believing that life is pre-destined and nothing will change, no matter what.
My guides tell me this is a very deep misconception. The gift of choice was given to be used and can make a huge difference to the harmony of our lives. We must learn how to use this powerful tool. We can choose to be overwhelmed, pulled into the dark and feel helpless, or we can come out fighting as wisdom warriors using our tools based in love and light, from an open heart.
Then, with the goal of resetting the balance, aiming to choose light and compassion, learning and growth through the pathway of love from the powerful capacity of the human heart, each beat can be a choice to bring hope and light where there is none.
With an open, loving heart, acceptance of ourselves and others, we can grow beyond our wildest dreams and create opportunities for light to shine through in the duality realm that is our planet. We can shift the balance and create a new world where we can improve our own lives, our perspectives, address our assumptions of people and situations and make life flow with an ease despite any difficult scenarios along the way.
From a wider spiritual perspective, we have a purpose which is far beyond our usual everyday lives. Our day-to-day activities are simply a method of our experience and learning.
Remember, we are spiritual beings, light beings residing in a physical body.
Our spiritual being knows our job is to reconnect to the light, love and compassionate side of our existence. It knows our aim is to work in harmony, with open human hearts, raising the vibration of the planet, balancing out dark and heavy energy. In simple terms, to release the fear, despair and hopelessness in the world.
Every day, in every way, choose the light path and connect with an open heart, a willingness to learn, understand and offer empathy. Whilst we cannot comprehend the fullness or importance of our task to help restore harmony to our lives and Earthly existence, we can, with intention, and an open loving human heart, move towards that enormous task step by step, day by day. Maybe then the sum of all the parts will prove to be a pleasing combination and be greater than the whole. The harmony of the human heart will beat strong and hard for a balanced, peaceful and cohesive world.
