As I sat to write this, the Sheryl Crow lyrics, “Every day is a winding road. I get a little bit closer,” popped into my head.
This wasn’t the direction I would take this post, but it is fitting. My healing journey has opened my eyes to many aspects of life and the interconnectivity of all things.
Some call Earth the prison planet or the actual location of Hell. I have also heard that some souls/spirits are waiting in line to have a physical body experience on Earth. After some of the experiences I have had in my life so far, I scratched my head at the idea of coming back to Earth to do this all again. But knowing that I have already done this many times before, there must be something attractive about having a physical body experience.
During this latest healing journey, I learned something very vital to the growth of my soul. I retreated into myself. I went into isolation and dug deep into who I am and what I want for my life. I needed time to understand the lessons presented to me and how I could apply what I have learned to future experiences. I was content with being with myself but realized I would never know if I had learned those lessons unless I had similar opportunities. I feel great in my own company, but adding others to the mix is where the growth happens.
At this moment, I realized why it is better to have a physical body to evolve. A soul can grow in spirit form but at a much slower pace than a body, living a life filled with tailored lessons for the next level, just like college. We go to school and learn things from a book, but we won’t know how to apply what we learn until we find ourselves in hands-on situations.
When journeying, we want our journey to be a winding road, a spiral, not an endless circle. As we learn from the situations presented, we evolve up the spiral. If we don’t know the lessons, we continue in a loop until we break free. From what I have experienced, the only way to exit the circle and spiral up is to look within and apply when out in the world.
Are you living life in a circle or a spiral? How are you applying your healing to your life?
