How do you discover the power within yourself? On spiritual development

 The ability to read the future, travel in the astral plane or read minds are skills that every person would love to possess. It seems that in order to boast such an art, one must be born with the right gift. However, nothing could be further from the truth, for although innate talents are indeed significant, the true shaping of our powers is something we decide for ourselves. People endowed with paranormal powers are those who have reached their higher self, i.e. reached the highest level of spiritual development or one of the higher degrees. It is therefore not something everyone is born with, but something they work on and slowly achieve. No one is deprived of the possibility of achieving this, for everyone has the necessary potential, but unfortunately only a few try to use it.


In spiritual development, meditation is the most important and, in the case of the desire to discover power within oneself, it is also the basis. Spending at least a few minutes a day meditating will help to clear the mind, make us more open to stimuli from the Universe and at the same time allow us to feel inner harmony and peace. Meditation also does not require much preparation or complicated activities. We just need to find some time and a place where we can sit comfortably and, instead of the noise of the surrounding world, focus on ourselves. Listening to our own breath, we try to synchronise with it with all our senses. By thinking only of these rhythmic breaths, we move all bad emotions and experiences away from ourselves.


Meditation is precisely to clear our mind, allowing us to forget experiences, but analysing them is also an important element in our spiritual training. Before going to sleep, try to recall various situations from the day, but approach them not emotionally but rationally. Think about how you acted and how you could have acted, what would have been the best solution. Gradually, you will begin to notice the small mistakes you make that you were not even aware of. You will also then learn how to deal with them, and you will see a new perspective in how you perceive many things.


It is also important to work on the mind itself; it is, after all, nature's most perfect creation and hides unexplored possibilities, including the very power we can master. The right hemisphere, which is linked to the left side of the body, is responsible for creative abilities, so right-handed people need to practise left-handed activities and left-handed people vice versa. This will allow both of our hemispheres to work evenly and make the mind much more productive. This skill will not only be useful for spiritual development, but it will improve the comfort of our lives, we will have a better memory, concentration and more desire to work.

Last, but by no means least, is to trust your intuition. In a world of haste, universalisation and the imposition of certain patterns of behaviour, as well as the need to conform to society, intuition has been pushed into the shadows. It is treated as something irrational and unimportant and nobody takes it seriously. Worse still, most of us are not good at reading the signs that suggest our intuition is telling us something. The preceding points will fortunately sharpen our senses to the stimuli sent from both the Universe and ourselves. We will see that the slight sense of anxiety that sometimes overtakes us or the inexplicable euphoria are whispers from our soul, which wants to tell us how to behave in a given situation.
We will be surprised how, after a few months of following these cues, our senses and the way we perceive the world will develop. Our confidence in ourselves will definitely increase, and this is like the best way to reach the higher self.
