As you know, being spiritually responsible is acting in a way that is the polar opposite of being a helpless, powerless---let me blame everyone for my woes but myself---victim. A small part of being spiritually responsible includes taking responsibility for what your life looks like. This includes:
- What you have magnetized into your life
- The overall health of your relationships
- Your ability to speak truthfully
- Awareness of any rogue low vibration archetypes, tribal beliefs, or patterns that consistently lower your vibration,
- Owning your part in a bad situation, and
- Your ability to accept forgiveness when you have made an error.
However, being spiritually responsible does not include wearing the proverbial hair shirt with long-term suffering for your mistakes, errors in judgment or low vibration choices.
For example, if you yelled at your husband because you were resentful rather than own the fact that you were resentful because he takes care of himself and you don’t, or if you made a poor decision in your past that has hurt someone, as a spiritually responsible being you would:
- First, own the awareness that you have made a low vibration choice.
- Second, stop beating yourself up and wallowing in your mistake.
- Third, identify a better choice you will take in the future and commit to it.
- Fourth, make any apologies or amends that are necessary.
- Fifth, take action. That bears repeating: TAKE ACTION---This is the time to move forward into the present. It is not the time to beat yourself up by replaying all your transgressions from the past. You can grow spiritually only if you suit up and show up in the present.
- Sixth, is the all-important action that is sometimes forgotten: to forgive yourself. You are not more spiritual because you have held on to your transgressions---on the contrary, you are being selfish and engaging in activity that is sure to lower your vibration. Said differently: You are making the focus about you, not the people you have injured.
Your decision to hang on to the past is just another way of keeping you in the spotlight by focusing on your error in judgment, poor behavior, or bad choices. Another way of saying this is, when you continually beat yourself up for your mistakes, you are spreading a low vibration into the community.
Wouldn’t you rather spread a high vibration? How?
- First, make the commitment to act differently and be more spiritually responsible. If you are given too much change from a clerk, give it back immediately, speak up for your needs and stop acting so wounded with your husband, and apologize to those you have hurt and make any amends that are necessary.
- Second, be of service to others by raising your vibration and being happy.
- Third, pray to God and ask for help in following the example of forgiveness so beautifully demonstrated over 2000 years ago.
- Fourth, look around you and notice if anyone could use a word of kindness or some of your laughter.
You have the power of having a ripple effect on the world—you can spread a low vibration or a high vibration.
- Demonstrating the acceptance of forgiveness, is a way of being a good teacher to others,
- Sharing your happy self with others, is a powerful ripple to send out to the world,
- Focusing on your positive attributes and sharing your talents with the world is a form of gratitude, and being grateful to God always raises your vibration.
It’s your choice. What vibration are you going to share with us?
One of the great pleasures of our work is seeing the deep changes that people make as a result of reading Christel’s books or attending one of our events. It’s deeply satisfying and brings us great joy. We decided to celebrate these people in our newsletter each month.
We had a fabulous time in Portland last month and wanted to acknowledge those of you who made great break-throughs!
Special kudos to:
-
The woman who changed her tribal belief and decided not to wait for her family to be happy before she could be happy.
-
The fellow who realized he’s amazing because of the way he makes people feel safe.
-
The young woman who decided to return to medical school to finish her training as a pediatrician, not the oncologist her family wanted her to be.
-
The woman who became aware that her relationship was draining her third chakra (the energetic seat of self-esteem) and realized that no one has the right to take that away. She will be making big changes.
-
And to all the other people who had never considered why they were amazing, but were able to find something special, tell the group and have it run through their chakras. Once it runs through your chakras, it’s real, and not just head knowledge (which doesn’t change anything). Once it runs through those chakras, it changes the blueprint, and soon thereafter, your life.
-
And a special recognition to a dear friend of ours who realized his saboteur archetype had been responsible for ending the best relationship he’d ever had. He had a heart to heart talk with his saboteur, realized he deserved to be loved, returned to his relationship and is now happier than ever!
