The Modern Spiritual Housewife

What does it mean to be a modern housewife with a spiritual calling?

Lately, I’ve been reading about the "Trad wife" movement and seeing a lot of content from places like Ballerina Farm, where life is portrayed in such a romantic, old-fashioned way. The idea of returning to simpler times is really appealing to many, and I understand why.

You Have a Responsibility to Create Your Reality

We are constantly creating our reality through the thoughts we focus on and integrate as part of ourselves.  This cannot be escaped.  It is a natural, universal law. 

When a person is unaware of the law of attraction and how it works, they can hardly be blamed for the reality they have created for themselves.  Before having this knowledge, our reality consists largely of situations that have been created the false and limiting beliefs we have picked up from others.

Manifesting the Perfect Relationship

The person I had been showing up as was not at all aligned with the kind of relationship I wanted, and I had to make adjustments before I could attract that relationship.  I had to accept that I was worthy of the things that were most important to me in a relationship and then I had to embody those things.  I had to become the person I wanted to be in my perfect relationship before I could expect a perfect partner.

Use Your Imagination

I have studied a lot of different teachers of the Law of Attraction.  There are a few things that seem to be agreed upon among them all.  One of them is the importance of the use of your imagination.  You have to be able to see what it is you want, feel what it would be like to have it, and know it’s coming to you.  You must be able to experience something that hasn’t manifested yet.

Are Your Desires Aligned with Good?

I took a course by Eckhart Tolle in which he taught of the importance of manifesting from the Spirit rather than the ego. This raises the question of how to tell if one is creating from Spirit or ego. Egos can be pretty tricky. How can be sure that what we wish to create is in alignment with Spirit and not just an egoic desire?

Emotional Communication with Your Higher Self

According to Abraham Hicks (channeled by Esther Hicks) we each have a direct line of communication with our higher selves, or as Abraham refers to it, our inner selves that comes in the form of our emotions. The more pleasant our emotions feel, the better aligned we are with our higher self. The more unpleasant our emotions, the more out of alignment we are.

Gratitude Creates More for Which to be Grateful

Thankful Grateful Blessed.png

Just for today, be grateful.  For there is so much to be grateful for!  Gratitude is the easiest way for me to raise my vibrations.  As one of the Reiki principles, it is a cornerstone to my healing practice.  A grateful heart heals so much easier and faster than a resentful one.  It is so much more resilient against dis-ease.

Gratitude is easy for me at this point in my life.  I am doing well.  I feel financially secure.  I’ve finished paying off a reliable vehicle.  I love my home.  I am in a loving relationship with my best friend.  Our kids are all healthy.  Life is good and gratitude comes easy. 

I feel like my resting point has become a place of gratitude, interrupted by small moments of stress, anger, or worry from time to time.  It used to be very much the opposite.  Stress was my natural state, interrupted by small moments of joy and gratitude.  I think that to look at my life now, one might think that I am grateful because all this good has come into my life.  And they would be right, except I believe that it is a wonderful cycle that began when gratitude helped me bring this good about in the first place. 

I used to be miserable.  I was always in pain from Fibromyalgia.  Paying bills was a juggling act.  My relationships with men were toxic.  I was always saying things like, “if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all” and “if it’s not one thing going wrong, it’s another.”  Life sucked and that is all I expected of it.  I was unhappy and resentful, and life just kept giving me more to be unhappy and resentful about.

Things began to turn around for me when I found Reiki and started practicing the principles.  In trying to practice gratitude each day in accordance with the principles, I started actively looking for things to be grateful for.  It hurt to walk when I first started practicing, but I COULD walk.  I was in sick and in pain, but my kids were healthy.  Financially, I had always struggled, but I always found a way to keep bills paid.  I stopped focusing so much on all that was wrong and turned my focus to the small, less obvious things that were good. 

The more I focused on those little things I had to be grateful for, the more they began to grow.  It was magical.  It is still magical, as my blessings continue to grow with my gratitude.  The little things became big things.  The stuff I stressed about began to fade away.  Personal disasters happened less and less.  Life is good, it is wonderful, and that is what I expect of it.  And every day I am in awe of it’s wonder and filled with gratitude. 

The Metaphysical Perspective of Diagnosis Vs. Prognosis

Ernest Holmes said, “Healing is not creating a perfect idea or a perfect body; it is revealing an idea which is already perfect.” This paper discusses the metaphysical perspective of diagnosis vs. prognosis based on the writing of Ernest Holmes and the teaching of Science of Mind philosophy.
