We all know what physical health is, and we understand how our emotional health can affect us physically.  In the new Body, Mind, Spirit model of healing, do we really understand what Spiritual health is?

 It all comes down to one important question – How well do we, as a spiritual being, relate to everyone and everything?  Do we feel connected or separate?  How strongly does the divine energy of LOVE flow through us and into all of our relationships?  This is the key to health and happiness as it fills our soul with this universal energy, the life force, and a sense of power and peace from within.  We have seven key relationships to look at.

 What is your relationship to the hierarchy of the Universe, All That Is, The Divine Intelligence, or whatever you choose to call it?  When we feel a strong sense of connection we allow wisdom and love into our lives.  In a healthy spiritual state, we feel a sense of unity and understand our oneness. We believe in unlimited possibilities, a divine purpose to our lives and all of creation.  We belong and we feel safe.  When we don’t feel this connection our neurological system can suffer.

 Do you have a strong personal relationship with God, your higher power, your guides or angels, or any spiritual teachers that help you personally?  This is how we receive guidance, intuition or inner knowing, and a sense of direction for our lives.  We don’t feel alone and helpless. We feel their divine love for us and we feel supported.  Depression or endocrine imbalances can show up when we don’t develop this relationship.

 How do you relate to the people closest to you?  Are you able to speak from your authentic voice, your true feelings, speaking clearly, honestly and from the heart?  And can you truly listen to others and hear their truth, their feelings?  It brings us joy and inner peace in our lives when we are heard and understood, and true to ourselves.  We feel honored and respected.  When this is difficult, we may experience throat and respiratory tract or throat problems.

 Most important is our relationship to ourselves!  How do you feel about your body, your mind, and your soul?   Only when we can embrace and compassionately love ourselves truly can we extend that same depth of love and compassion to all of humanity in a healthy, enriching and fulfilling way. What’s important to your heart and soul?  Honor the feelings that come from deep within.  This is about loving yourself deeply to the core of your being, your soul, knowing that your true self, and everyone else’s, is what is really important here. Our heart and circulatory system will indicate deeper hurts and unresolved issues here, and our immune system will reflect our sense of power and our ability to defend ourselves.

 How do you relate to the work you do in the world?  How do you feel about your gifts, talents, and abilities?  Does your work bring joy to your soul and the rewards and support you need?  By developing trust in ourselves and by following what our soul loves to do, we gain a sense of inner power and presence. Just like building strength in our bodies, we can build trust and confidence in our spirit.  When we don’t feel empowered, our digestive system can be sluggish, irritated or blocked and/or our muscles can become weak when we don’t feel strong enough to move forward or put ourselves out there.

 How you relate to nature and the natural cycles of change is also very important to the health of our spirit.  Are we living in harmony with nature, staying in balance?  When we trust and appreciate the gifts it has to offer us, and are able to flow with the natural cycles of life, we can easily move forward to create the vision we have for our future.  We are naturally creative spiritual beings.  Our reproductive organs are the perfect example of this dynamic.  Also our ability to eliminate old, toxic emotions can result in problems with the excretory organs.

 And lastly, how about our relationship to our global family?  When we feel connected to all, we happily want to help others. It brings us a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that we made a difference in someone’s life.  Others are naturally drawn to reciprocate. We then easily manifest opportunities and resources for our lives. No one has to be in need when All support All!  We have abundance!  Our skeletal system fully supports us and protects our most vulnerable organs such as our head, heart and lungs.  Our bones and joints can experience problems when our spirit is not feeling supported, protected, and taken care of.

 So how does your Spirit relate to everything and everyone?  By breaking through our resistance’s and fears, and looking beneath the personality level can we begin to see where and how our Soul is trying to emerge.  By expanding our awareness and making choices that come from the heart and soul, every moment of every day, can we heal our spirits and renew our strength, letting our Soul shine through as the powerful, radiant, loving and creative being it is!
