We take
care of our body a lot in terms of health or esthetics, but how much do we take
care of the soul within the body?
That is an
approach we all have to reflect upon, particularly when there is the fear of
death or some spiritual struggle.
Another
approach is to take care of the awareness of being; to be soul conscious means
more than a religious or spiritual phrase: it means to be connected with who I really am.
By being
merged into the intense daily routine, a ferocious career, a health crisis or
very unhealthy relationships, it is easy to just disconnect with that being and
just react to whatever is happening around.
The problem
is one day you will be living through a sweet easy routine, your career will be
over, your health will be fine again and you will be ok with your
relationships; but if you don’t take care, you will be something else,
different than what you really are.
And that duality
is not good for the soul’s health…
So, the
best way of caring about the true self is:
- Follow your religious tradition. Time may be an issue, so find some time you can spare to take care of your own self.
- Meditate or contemplate. Get in connection with your true self.
- Reflect deeply. Don’t let things just pass; talk or write about them, or just sit down and think of what is going on.
- Change your lifestyle, so that it is aligned to who you really are.
- Look for a change of perspective by talking with different people or by reflecting in different ways.
This is part of a series of posts on self-care.
PS: If you are interested in meditation, I would
like to recommend you to brahmakumaris.org; that’s where I meditate.
