Today we journey deeper into the mystical, and the mysterious by diving into philosophical concepts of what is the Spirit. What do we mean by it? How does one feel spirit? From there, how does something become spiritual? Is heart connected to Spirit? What about these high frequencies and elevating your vibration that so many talk about now? Can mundane experiences become transcendent with spirit?

For the purpose of this podcast, and Spirit being the core of the trinity, I feel it is important to share my meaning. My journey to understanding what I mean by Spirit, or when say I am connected, or guided by Spirit.

What is Spirit? (0.32)

So, what is Spirit? Is it the soul, the divine universe, or something else entirely? Spirit is entirely nonphysical, in its quality it is pure awareness, it is the energy that animates the body, and all living things. Spirit is the Experiencer, and the Witness, the Etheric. It is the highest frequency vibration itself. Spirit is the Universal Wisdom Consciousness within which each soul, and individual contentiousness reside. It is the underlying essence of life itself, it is never born and it never dies, it simply changes forms. It’s timeless, formless, and ever-changing.

Spiritual Elevation and Vibrational Frequencies (6.04)

When we elevate our experiences to a spiritual level, we transcend our human sensory limitations. We tap into a higher frequency of pure awareness. Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness offers a tangible way to understand these vibrational frequencies. From the lowest frequency of shame to the highest frequency of pure consciousness at 1000, we can gauge where we are and where we aspire to be.

The Role of Anger and Emotions (11.08)

Let’s talk about anger for a moment. Anger can be a powerful emotion that propels us upward, from lower frequencies like grief and fear to higher frequencies like courage and love. So, don’t suppress your anger; embrace it as a tool for growth and transformation.

Heart vs. Spirit (14.21)

Now, let’s distinguish between connecting to our heart and connecting to our Spirit. While the heart is our path to affinity and alignment with what’s right for us, Spirit is the universal wisdom that encompasses all of our experiences and journeys. When we connect to Spirit, we connect to our higher selves and the ultimate truth.

Practical Ways to Connect to Spirit (19.33)

Ready to deepen your connection to Spirit? Nature is your gateway. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home”. Mother Earth is the physical manifestation of Spirit. Spend mindful moments connecting to the earth—stand barefoot on grass, feel the earth’s energy pulsating through you. You can also connect through skincare rituals, treating your body as a temple and inviting pure awareness into your self-care routine.

Grounding Action and Closing Thoughts (20.56)

Before we wrap up, let’s commit to a grounded action. Whether it’s journaling your insights, revisiting your beauty rituals, or simply reflecting on today’s episode, take a moment to integrate this sacred journey into your daily life.

Closing Poem (22.25)

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (On Self-Knowledge)

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales ot weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.” 
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
