Here’s a question for those on a spiritual path: have you ever felt an inner angst of sorts, for no particular reason? An inner sense of contraction? A stuffy, almost claustophic sense that sits at the pit your belly? It is a feeling that is almost akin to doubt and worry, yet it’s a feeling of uneasiness for no particular reason—an Inner Unrest of sorts.
Well, if you DO happen to know this feeling; if you HAVE experienced this ‘inner unrest’, and if, by chance, you are experiencing it at THIS very moment then: CONGRATULATIONS! And welcome to the Human Experience on Planet Earth!
We are all on a unique Journey of The Soul—an eternal journey of growth and expansion; a journey of Ever-Expanding Good.
This “inner unrest” is a call from the depths of our Being—it is our Authentic Self beginning to wake up. It is, in essence, the calling of our own SOUL asking for our immediate attention. It is a gentle reminder that beyond what we may be experiencing in our present moment, there is much more in us waiting to be experienced and expressed.
This “inner unrest” is our Diving Light asking to shine even brighter through each of us… it is our Creative Genius tugging at our inner sleeves asking to be let free so it may show It’s Brilliance in all it’s Divine Colors. This ‘inner unrest’ is our Inner Splendor asking to come out and play with us and with the rest of the world! The calling of our Soul is asking for us to Open The Gates of Our Hearts so that we may let the music of our unique song play for all to hear. This “inner unrest” is simply our Soul getting antsy with anticipation to be let free, asking to be allowed forth so it may express itself more fully and completely as our very own lives.
And so naturally, the question becomes:
Q: How exactly are we to allow our Soul to express more fully and completely?
A: The answer to this question (and to every question) is found within our own being. The answer is within us, at this very moment. We must simply ASK and LISTEN for the answer to emerge.
Q: Okay, well how are we supposed to hear anything when there is so much noise, you may say.
A: And the answer to this question is simple. Practice silencing your mind.
Q: How do I silence my mind?
A: Through a meditative practice.
Q: Why is that important?
A: Because when we step out of The Noise and step Into The Sacred Silence within our being, we are able to hear the subtle voice of our Soul speaking to us, guiding us and directing us.
As The Great Deepak Chopra reminds us:
“You have within you a wise voice guiding you to express the highest aspects of your nature. Listen to this inner still voice, which is guiding you to manifest your full potential. Quiet the internal turbulence that is filled with the voices of others so you can identify the sound of our your own soul. It has only one desire–for you to remember your essential nature as a spark of the divine.”
–Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga (pg. 86)
Our Individual Wings and the Instructions for our Unique Flight lie within each and every single one of us. This “inner unrest” is a gentle wake up call inviting us to go inward… inviting us to ask evolutionary questions… and inviting us to LISTEN to the voice of our own Soul… It is This Divine Guidance that leads the way as each of us takes Flight Into Our Very Own Greatness.
Peace & Blessings.
