Understanding Mental Health In Conjunction With Your Spirituality
Does your spirituality and mental health have anything to do with each other? Let’s begin at the beginning. You have heard this before, yet you cannot hear it enough. You are Spirit in human form. Everyone’s a spirit. Your Spirit, your higher self, doesn’t sleep or take a vacation. It is always watching, listening, and trying to communicate with you.
But you are not always hearing the messages it has for you. You are not in tune, just like a radio, to receive the messages. However, there is good news: you can use different techniques to help you re-tune your spiritual receiver. Things like yoga, grounding meditation that helps you tune into your intuition, and mindfulness meditation that helps you tune out your monkey mind.
How Do Spirituality And Mental Health Go Together?
Spiritual Connection And Life Purpose
Do you ever feel that you are just floating around life aimlessly with no real purpose? Many of you have been or are presently feeling that uselessness to use a term you may understand. So, which is being affected, or is it, not a stretch to say infected with a negative state of being, your mental or spiritual essence? Either will affect the other. Not only your life purposehttps://drlesleyphillips.com/life-purpose/your-why/ but also your life itself can be challenging to focus on or enjoy.
It is like a four-legged table. Each of the four legs represents one of the four main aspects of life and well-being. The four are mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. If any of the table’s four legs are not equal to the others, longer or shorter, what happens to the table’s stability? Yes, it wobbles, causing it to be unstable and uncomfortable to use.
The same holds for your life. If any of the four aspects are wobbly, the experience can be devastating to your life itself. You could suffer from depression, anxiety, fear, physical ailments, or a host of other negative DIS-EASES. Life can become miserable. So, to answer an earlier question, do spirituality and mental health go together? The answer is a definite yes.
Mental And Spiritual Healing
Don’t give up, though. There are answers and solutions. When you become mindful, you become more insightful about who you are and what you are doing here on the planet.
Mainstream medicine has realized the correlation between physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health. It has come to realize that people need and are looking for answers that medicine or medical intervention can not supply.
Good Mental Health And Spirituality
There are mainstream healthcare locations that are using types of spiritual healing to help people with physical, mental, and emotional issues. They put spirituality on their service menus, which include things you can ask for help with. So many people are trying to find help, especially with finding their purpose and passion.
These service menus include meditation, discovering auras, and the chakra systems. After all, your chakras are connected to your emotional body and affect how your emotional body goes through different things.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction began in Massachusetts with Jon Kabat Zinn over 20 years ago. He wrote the book Wherever You Go, There You Are. And he incorporated that into a pain management program.
Types Of Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing is healing that bypasses the use of medication and medical intervention. Some hospitals are open to alternative health, and many nurses have done therapeutic touch over the years, which is also a spiritual healing modality. It seems that the world is beginning to wake up to this.
You can heal your life, not just a symptom of bad mental health. Many people are working with the Universe and are starting to open up to complementary alternative medicine programs.
Like these people, you too can work as a healer, a light worker, using your intuition and the understanding of universal principles and how to work with the power of the Universe.
Many healers begin their journey by receiving messages, but are not sure what they want to do. You may hear the message, and you get the feeling that you should be a counselor. And someone else says, Wow, you’re a good listener, that you would make some kind of therapist; that’s a message from the Universe.
Start dialoging with the Universe. Every Spirit is here for a reason, and you all have a divine plan. And if you start asking questions to the Universe, the Universe will give you answers in signs, synchronicities, and messages. And you have to tune into an understanding of the Universal dialog, which is the spiritual gift of intuition. And when you start using your intuition more, you will receive incredible answers about your purpose and passions. The power is within you.
Positive Mental Health And More
Using your spirituality and intuition can set you on the road to a healthy, fulfilled life mentally, emotionally, physically, and last but not least, spiritually. You can also help others to do the same.
So, how do you access and use your spirituality and intuition? You use your intuition to help yourself understand yourself or your patient. Listen with three ears: the heart, the mind, and the Spirit. It gets you to tune in to your soul, the soul of the person, and why you or they are here. Use your intuition to assess where you or the patient is.
You each have the power, the gifts of the Spirit, also known as psychic abilities. These abilities came into this world with you. You don’t need to create them or be worthy of them. All you need to do is awaken them. Spiritual healing meditation is one of the quickest ways to connect with your higher self and psychic gifts.

Carolyn has more than 20 years of experience doing that. She graduated from Columbia University and is licensed in New York, New Jersey, and California. She appeared on CNN, demonstrating energy healing with Dr. Oz. So that’s quite the claim to fame. She was a former faculty member of the pediatric pain program at UCLA, a program of complementary alternative medicine, where she performed hands-on healing with children in chronic pain.
