Finding a Balance Between the Spiritual and the Physical

Written By Karista

How do you find balance between spiritual and physical aspects of self?  Why is it important to connect with our physical body?  Are you using your Spiritual practice to escape a physical experience? How does connecting with the physical assist in connecting with Self and Spirit? Why should I practice connecting with the body? 


In episode 38 of Love Always, Self, we discuss finding a balance between your spiritual practice and being present in the physical. 


Many times throughout the process of “awakening” we encounter reports of the beauty and the awe inspiring connections with Spirit through meditation and other modalities.  We hear and learn about elevating our vibration to assist in opening our consciousness to the collective.  With all of this information we are taught to connect through our Third Eye or our Crown chakra, however, if we solely focus on this aspect of Self, Spirit, and Source, we will find ourselves out of balance because we are negating the importance of grounding into this physical experience.  We, our soul, have chosen to have this physical experience because there are lessons to assist us in our soul’s growth.  So, if we spend all our time and energy focusing on connecting with Spirit, we are missing out on a part of the purpose of this physical experience and we may even miss out on the lessons that advance our soul causing us to have to live out more experiences that are needed for this advancement.  


“We are here to have a physical experience. We chose to come and be in this lifetime and in this body.” - Karista 


Sure, there may be changes that you’d like to make to your current physical state of wellness, but learning to let go of statements like “I will love myself when…” and choosing to love yourself as you are in this very moment will assist you in releasing resistance to your body and your physical experience of this life.   


“Being able to accept our body, as it is, even if we don’t like everything about its current state, and expressing gratitude for how amazing it is and everything it has gone through, is a practice of unconditional love for ourselves.” - Karista 


It may be difficult to connect with our body, as we may have resistance to this. What we are trying to caution against, is using your spiritual practice to escape this physical experience.  This escapism is a form of resistance to experiences, and because you are here to have a physical experience, the more you resist this, the more the Universe will persist in bringing you more experiences that push you to connect with your body and physical experiences.  Due to the resistance of connecting with your body, many times we will be presented with expressions of physical pain to draw our attention back into our body, almost forcing us to be physically present with the body.  When you spend more time being in your energetic space than taking care of your physical body, it will draw your attention back to it because you are not taking care of it or staying aware of its needs.


Again, this is about finding balance between grounding in your body and connecting with spirit. Recognize that in connecting with your body, you are deepening your connection with self, and because you are a fractal of Source, by deepening your connection with Self you are strengthening your connection with Source.
