Spiritual
Integrity: Live a Life of Purpose and Divine Connection
Have you ever made a commitment to yourself and not followed
through? Do you wish you had more energy and space to create change in your
life? Are you often confused about what your purpose really is, or how to
manifest it?
Are you ready to step into your innate fullness and integrity?
Spiritual Integrity is a path to wholeness. When we live from our own Spiritual
Integrity we follow through on our commitments without stress, confusion, or
fear. We are constantly inspired and energized to respond to change with eyes
wide open. We are clear about who we are and where we are going. Our actions are
in alignment with our heart. Each day is a playful co-creation with the Divine.
Many of us learn what integrity is from the outside in. We take on rules and
beliefs that are handed down from our parents and grandparents, church, schools,
and communities. Often these rules are not in alignment with who we are, or are
completely contradictory. And yet we still try to be good and follow what the
outside world tells us we should be. Or we rebel, throwing our energy in the
opposite direction without really knowing what is true for us.
Spiritual Integrity teaches us how to reclaim our truth from the inside out. At
our core, we each have a beautiful and unique essence and purpose. But we cover
this shining light of clarity and inspiration with layers and layers of other
people's opinions, thoughts, and desires. We live not who we are, but who we
believe others want us to be. We ignore our own truth with the hopes that we
will be accepted and loved if we are nice. Or we spend all of our precious
energy fighting other people's opinions. Spiritual Integrity is about the
willingness to go deeper into yourself to find out who you are, beyond the walls
of the known.
Spiritual Integrity is a re-membering, a weaving of our scattered parts into a
solid whole. We step back into our Spiritual Integrity when our thoughts,
actions, and emotions stem from our essence, rather than our strategies and old
patterns. Each of us has tasted integrity, those moments when we feel open and
aligned with our highest selves. These times are the ones we look back on and
say, "Yes, that was my integrity. That was wholeness. That was my essence
shining brightly in the world."
Mental integrity comes when you release your inner judge and stop punishing
yourself. You view yourself with compassion instead of criticism. You learn from
your mistakes gracefully, and can quiet your mind's chatter so you consistently
hear your own true voice.
Emotional integrity allows you to release old hurts and find forgiveness for
yourself and others. You are no longer trapped by the past. Anytime you are
triggered by outside events and feel emotional pain you do not blame others, but
use your tools to clear and open back to emotional fluidity.
Physical integrity arises when your actions align with your heart, not your
strategies. Each of us takes on a strategy to help us understand the world
around us and make us feels safe. When you understand what your primary strategy
is and how you physically act it out in the world you come to a place of choice
rather than habit. Choice is the foundation of physical integrity.
Spiritual Integrity is a cellular recognition that you are not your mind,
emotions, or body, but the light that illuminates from within. As you move more
and more into Spiritual Integrity your mind, emotions, and form become sweetly
transparent, so the luminous light of your spirit radiates out.
