What is a spiritual reading and how can it help a person to resolve an issue they may be facing in their life?
This is a massive subject that will take some work to get through, but for the purpose of this home page of the site, I'll try to keep things at an "overview" level without trying to go too deeply into the topic and confusing you before you've had a chance to absorb and digest what it's all about first.
The concept or idea of spirituality comes initially from religion where a spiritual person was said to have been closer to their supreme being (for Christians, that would be God) and Holy Spirit and its teachings than a non-spiritual person.
As time went by, the description changed until we now have a situation where religion is separated from spirituality.
The way we see it now is living life using free expression and meditation to reach a person's true self and learning to become one with oneself.
Through deep meditation, it is possible to reach deep inside the hidden depths of the mind that are inaccessible to us during our normal, conscious, waking state. In this meditative state, a seasoned practitioner can seek out and find answers to questions and solutions to problems that would not be possible to the conscious, rational mind.
When starting out on a spiritual journey as an alternate lifestyle to the one you have been leading, it can seem difficult to comprehend just how powerful our mental capacity actually is when it is freed from the shackles of conscious awareness and allowed to probe the depths of the unconscious.
However, with practice and patience, a person can learn to plumb those depths through meditation. When solutions to previously impossible seeming problems are discovered for the first time, it can be something of an enlightening moment, for certain!
As you go deeper into the spiritual realm of your inner mind, it can also seem like you're becoming detached from the reality you've known for most of your life. Of course, you're still here and you still have to do most of the things you always did, from doing your job to pay the bills and keep the roof over your head, but in other ways you can leave all that normality behind for a while each day to explore a far more interesting world.
To many people, the very thought would frighten them away from taking the leap into this relative unknown. However, since you're reading this, I'll make a bold assumption that you're not "many people" and your curiosity is stronger than your sense of foreboding about getting out of your comfort zone and leaping into that "unknown" territory.
The rewards that can be experienced from taking that leap are many and can be extremely attractive as well as life enhancing in many areas.
In fact, to bring things back down to earth with a bump, realizing that this is a gift that every living human being has at their fingertips is much like discovering you had hands with fingers and opposing thumbs when you were a small child!
Of course, you don't have to go headlong into being a spiritual reader for people just yet. A good way to gently submerge yourself into this way of life is to find and meet other spiritualists, or even have one do a reading for you.
The beauty of today's technology which is allowing you to even read this (and me to write and publish it) means you can also obtain spiritual readings online from experts that have been providing them for a number of years both in person and via the magic of the Internet.
The only warning you may need to heed would be to make sure whoever you approach for a reading is a bona fide spiritual reader in the first place. While many are perfectly honest, reliable and truthful, there are always some elements of life that try to muscle in on what they perceive as a slick way of making a buck or two. These you must avoid, of course!
Incidentally, I just found a short, catchy video that covers the trustworthiness of spiritual readers and asks if they are for real! Here is the video URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlElJtoABdg and the live video is below:
