How do we start advancing physically, while growing spiritually? Achieving goals, while detached from the results. Let’s balance spirituality with practicality.

We often focus on the outer world. Our plans, situations, and experiences. People in our lives, material possessions, doing the things we need to do for survival.

We often neglect the inner world. We suppress emotions, numb feelings, we often ignore our gut instinct. We may see the inner world as messy and uncomfortable.

The main problem with separating the physical material world, from the spiritual unseen world is… We are both ourselves. We are spiritual beings in physical form.

Some people advance entirely in a spiritual way. But they neglect their physical form, they no longer do anything but meditate, they don’t participate in the world.

On the other end of the spectrum are those who only participate in the world. They never dare look internally, they never take a moment away from the noise.

My point in this message is that we are simply both. We are souls or energy, however you want to put it, inside a flesh body, living in a physical realm.

So in my opinion, the best practices for overall growth and wellbeing are beneficial to both the mind and body. Things that make us feel alive.

for example if you’re a very physical “worldly” person, you could likely grow quickly from putting some attention into your spiritual side in life. Practicing.

But if you’re very spiritual, it may actually help you to get grounded into your body for a while. Although we’re spiritual we’re also still here in this form for now.

We aim for relative balance for both. This means since i’m more naturally spiritually inclined, I sometimes need to put a little more focus on the outer world.

Not as spiritually inclined? It may be beneficial to temporarily focus less on the material world and explore your inner world. To see how you’re doing in there.

So in this message I just wanted to send a reminder, we should watch that we’re not dangerously out of balance between where we direct our attention and focus.

If it gets too unbalanced there can be negative consequences, so lets be diligent, lets work to keep our spiritual lives balanced with our physical bodies and health.

my question is… What do you want to develop in this moment? Your spiritual growth and understanding or your physical situation and circumstances? Both?
