I feel closed off, but I want to learn...

Hello, All! I'm Patrick, and I'm a rookie when it comes to all things such as this...
I'm very into anything that includes bettering myself, and learning of who I am. I've read in these threads that people originate from a soul group, and I'm VERY fascinated to hear this... Is there any way that I can open myself spiritually to connect with my inner self? I have strong religious faith, but to all other things mystical and spiritual, I feel nothing. Not the presence of entities, not memories of past lives, not even my own chakra. Can anyone help me open myself spiritually to open these pathways, and more importantly, allow me to discover my soul origin? Please help! Many thanks, My Fantastical Friends:)

Hi Viplan

As you said you are new to all of this please don't get too caught up in thinking you must be able to sense entities, havea sense of past lives or know about chakras etc. This is something you learn about along the way. Some things you will just 'evolve' in to doing or knowing, others may never make any sense.
Spirituality is different for everyone. What one person puts their heart and soul into learning, practising or perfecting, may leave another person cold.

Possibly as a starting point, look up some guided meditations on youtube. There are literally hundreds of them to choose from (The honest guys channel is a gentle starting point). Don't worry about if you are doing it right or wrong, just start practising, 10 minutes a day.

Meditation isn't all about connecting to spirit guides, astral projection and opening the 3rd eye, it can just be about the breathing and quietening of the jibber jabber of our mind the ego). To me its like a 30 minute spa treatment away from my mental to-do list. You will be surprised at the mental clarity it brings and new perspectives to old ways of thinking eventually you will recognise your inner voice. For me it is quiet but it is recognisable by the feeling I get when I am unsure about something. If my thoughts are guiding me wrongly I feel what seems like a gentle thud in my stomach or even a small 'ahem' in mind mind....this is my inner voice asking me to look deeper at the issue. However I digress.

Look around the forum, look up some websites (just google spiritual information) and ask questions, any questions. Don't think 'oh I can't ask that', there are always supportive people on here who are happy to share their knowledge and experience.

We all started on our various paths at some point so you are in very good company.
Love and light

What is this religious faith you have viplan? You say it is strong, what does this strength feel like to you? When you feel it where does that feeling exist? Maybe it can expand? Maybe it creates more feelings? Who do you think you are? What do you identify yourself as? Are you your body? Are you the mind? Why do you do what you do?

Simply start by noticing your awareness. Then watch that awareness change. Close your eyes and start looking inside yourself.

Hope that helps Patrick. I'm getting on a roll online tonight :) I'm just discovering the joy of communicating with others. I can at least tell you this, your consciousness is energetic and constantly vibrating. That's why they say we are made of light. Light is high frequency vibration.
