Beginner’s Luck and the Myth of Spiritual Momentum

Reading Time: 3 minutesA big part of the phenomenon we call “beginner’s luck” rests on the idea that there are endless possibilities in the beginner’s mind because the beginner often doesn’t know enough yet to doubt.

I’m going to stop worrying about momentum on my spiritual journey, and remind myself that I’m an aspirant, not an exemplar. Momentum is an essential concept in physics, but maybe not such a useful framework when dealing in things of the spirit.

Besides, beginner’s luck sounds like a lot more fun than struggling to maintain constant momentum. Who needs that when the possibilities are endless?

A Dark Cloud

Reading Time: 4 minutesDark clouds come and go. Some clouds visit for a short time, while others overstay their welcome, eventually they leave. Next time a cloud comes to visit, don’t push it away or ignore it. Get curious and allow yourself to feel the emotion the cloud brings with it. And as you feel the emotion be compassionate with yourself and remember it’s an emotion. An emotion that you can experience and learn from. No matter how you’re feeling, don’t let it take control you have the upper hand and make it known.

The Karmic Duty of Uplifting Collective Consciousness

Reading Time: 4 minutesIn both yogic and spiritual practices, we are first and foremost told to become aware of and watch our thoughts and words. We are encouraged to actively choose which ones we focus on because what we focus on tends to manifest into our reality, it drives how we act, what we say and how we experience our everyday.

Thoughts and words (both written and spoken), have creative energy. Each time a particular thought or word is repeated it gets more strength and momentum until such time that it’s strong enough to manifest itself in the physical reality. These are living entities that are in the process of taking physical form.

How to Say Yes to What You Want

Reading Time: 3 minutesLaw of attraction teachings say our “thoughts become things.” And while I wouldn’t completely disagree, I believe there is more to it. Our thoughts become our beliefs, our beliefs become our stories, our stories create our life. The effect our storytelling has on our real-world experience is immense.

Every day, all the time, we tell stories about who we are. These stories we tell about ourselves are powerful because the way the Universe works is we tell a story over and over and then we create a world that makes it true. We will ALWAYS attract proof.

Astrology: Weird and wonderful astro-squalls, ahoy!

Reading Time: 5 minutesRedefine what action means to you, from the perspective of a balanced and strategic thinker who isn’t bound by outmoded ideas about what action has to look like. Open up the ways in which you define action. See what happens when you bring fewer rules and more strategy to the mix, allowing in that fresh Aries dynamic.

By doing so, you’re likely to get more done, and feel better about it, than if you let the drive to action point you into a knee-jerk response where you scatter your energies all over, or find you’ve spent a whole weekend on one frustrating task that in the end you didn’t really care about anyway.
