Why do introverts tend to be highly spiritual?

Society dictates that we follow specific images projected by the main stream media, so why do introverts tend to rebel from these stereotypes?

Introverts tend to look within for answers versus having the need for societal approval.  Often, extroverts will view the introvert as being antisocial, stuck up or as loners, but even with these labels, the introvert will stand his or her ground with complete disregard for how others perceive him or her.

If you are an introvert, then you will find complete comfort in solitude.  You often find yourself immersed in deep thought and contemplation.  Your need for approval by others is significantly less than the extrovert as you realize that all answers come from within.

While you may partake on social occasions, you often enjoy simply watching the environment around you versus being the center of attention, which many introverts try to avoid.  On a metaphysical level, the introvert realizes how we are all connected and does not need the external approval and attention that is often sought after by the extrovert.

Approximately 75% of the world are extroverts, which makes the introvert the minority, yet the introvert will not succumb to societal pressure in order to conform.

While some introverts may be shy, there is a big difference between shyness and being introverted.  Shyness is a facet of social anxiety and the fear of rejection while being introverted is the ability to be at social function without the need for complete social interaction. For example, if the introvert was at a party, he or she can easily have conversations with many people, but often chooses not to. 

The introvert can have extroverted tendencies while still remaining to be an introvert. Many introverts will pick and choose the time and place to be extroverted, such as waiting in line at the grocery store.  In this situation, the conversation is limited and there is no long term commitment to continue the conversation, allowing the introvert to have social interaction without being forced into it. Within minutes, the introvert will once again find the tranquility of being the observer.

Within the solitude, the introvert finds much time to reflect on life.  He or she will have a small group of close friends and will feel comfortable being themselves around these people.

The extrovert will feel uncomfortable when there is a small break in the conversation while the introvert understands that sometimes words do not need to be spoken to appreciate the company of the person they’re with. A hug and a smile speak louder than words for the introvert.

The introvert is amused by the extrovert and will observe their mannerisms. An introvert will tend to be on the outside of a group, looking within.

Introverts prefer to watch, listen and observe and don’t talk very much but when they’re with people they feel close to, they will openly talk to about things that they’re passionate about.

Many people within the spiritual and metaphysical genres are introverts and often look within for answers.  They are more apt to understand the principle of oneness and how we are all connected on a deeper level than the extrovert, who looks for physical approval.

Introverts tend to use the right side of their brain and often are often musically or artistically inclined.  They may also be poets or philosophers and can easily see outside the box.

The introvert will question the origins of what society has told us to be the truth and unlike a scientist, he or she does not need empirical data to maintain his or her own beliefs.  The metaphysical fields often attract the introvert because of this.

Inner reflection is commonly used by the introvert as he or she will look within for answers versus what he or she may have been taught.  The introvert will use discernment as he or she weighs what has been learned externally versus what he or she feels resonates as the truth within.

Introverts are often empaths as well. Their sensitivity to how other people feel tends to be heightened as opposed to the extrovert who is more consumed with how others are perceiving himself or herself.

Extroverts may also be highly spiritual and will display their spirituality more openly than the introvert.  They are easily able to talk to anyone about spiritual and metaphysical topics while the introvert will pick and choose who he or she will talk to about these issues.

The bottom line: despite being only 25% of the population, the introvert will rarely change their attitude or personality to appease others, with the exception of their employment. Many introverts have learned how to be “temporary extroverts” but in the end, their comfort zone brings them back to be an introvert. While society will continue to make the introvert feel like an outcast, the introvert will not be persuaded by peer pressure or conformity in order to appease others because he or she already knows that the truth is within.

Don't Cut the Cords Ever PLEASE !!

An article by Julie Umpleby

I’m sure that many of you in the course of your spiritual journey have come across the concept of “energy cords”. Whenever we have contact with somebody, we literally connect with them via invisible, yet often tangible threads of energy that connect us to others usually via our chakras. These threads of energy can also connect to us via specific organs and other areas of the body.

It is through these energy threads that we exchange – receive and transmit – information  and energy between ourselves and others as well as with more subtle energy realms (angelic, guides,our own Higher Self etc). Our intuitive sense are also fed via these connections. If a relationship is intense, whether negative or positive, these threads will  often become thicker and more defined energy cords, some of which can remain long after the physical connection with an individual has ended.

We can either be nourished by the energy moving through the cords, or find ourselves becoming drained of our ability to sustain our internal power if the relationship was a negative one.  In other words, the other individual either lovingly supports or literally sucks our power from us – I have known a few of the latter in my lifetime!

As we develop greater self-awareness, we begin to learn about the management of our energy and for most of us, this also means becoming aware of how to protect our auric space and free ourselves of negative or energy draining links with others.

At the vibrational level all energy attachments or cords are at their core simply a vibrational mass of fear manifesting in any number of emotional disguises such as resentment, an   inability to forgive, envy, hurt, anger and so on.  I am sure you can think of many more ‘unloving’ emotional connections that you can add to the list! These essentially represent patterns of behaviour that we must transform if we wish to move into higher states of consciousness and spiritual awareness.

Whenever we hold thoughts or emotions of fear, unworthiness, anger, hatred, dislike, self- loathing etc, this vibration ripples out attracting the same vibration back to us through circumstances and people resulting in an energetic linkage, or energy cord. It is clearly in the interest of our evolution and development to release or remove as many of these cords as possible to increase the overall vibration of our being.

The traditional way of doing this in almost all of the spiritual literature I have come across is Cutting the Ties, or cutting the cords. From working with Archangel Michael and his flaming sword, to imagining pink ribbons that you cut, most of the processes involve a severing concept of some sort. In other words, you would go into meditation, find out where the energy cords are and where they are attached and then see yourself cutting them, then sending loving energy to seal and protect your space (in one way or another).

This method of releasing one from the energetic connections through the cords was the way that I was also taught to work earlier on in my own spiritual journey. I even experienced the reality of this connection when I received a phone call from an ex-partner just as I was about to cut the cord! He actually said he didn’t know why he was calling, just that he had a sudden urge to do so – the timing was incredible, and I know that at an  unconscious level he felt what I was about to do.

However, a number of years ago, I was busy doing some remote healing with a client   and I could see an energy attachment to a past life personality that I was told the person needed to detach from as part of their healing. I immediately prepared the space to cut the energy cord (along with some other work), and heard a booming voice in my head that said :

“Don’t Cut the Cords!!”

The voice was so loud that I immediately opened my eyes to see if there was anybody else in the room! I closed my eyes again and placed a loving intent into the space, thinking that perhaps I hadn’t quite prepared and protected the space correctly and prepared to do it again.

“DON’T CUT THE CORDS!!”   I was again told in no uncertain terms, and even louder than the first time!

So, realising that I was hearing Spirit, this time I listened and asked “why not?”, and received information that made such beautiful sense.

 I was told that any time we ‘cut’ the energy cord between our own being and any other person, being or entity, it is akin to a trauma that leaves an imprint or memory in our energy field resulting in a weakness or distortion within our energy field. This area of weakness leaves us open to attracting further energy vibrating in alignment with the original fear.

I could feel the truth in these words as I heard them, and recalled a friend, who, many years ago did a cord cutting exercise and realised that the energy cord was so thick that she had to visualise a chain saw to cut it. She physically felt pain as she did this which is not surprising. Can you imagine being hacked at in order to release yourself from another??

Spirit then showed me a way of working that literally resulted in the cords dissolving, and as they did I could see and feel the deep fear of the energy within the cord – this in turn generated an incredible surge of love and compassion that infused the energy field of the person I was working with. My spiritual helpers were then on hand to assist with a loving, gentle release of the attachment and the cord literally began dissolving.

There is an elegant simplicity to this process.

Even while I seek and sometimes go deeply into the esoteric understanding of  spiritual development and energy work, the energetic alignments I have been gifted to work with have been a constant reminder of the simple and uncomplicated nature of our deepest essence. It is the human mind and ego that seeks to  complicate things and set up elaborate structures when this simply is not necessary.

Love, beauty and honouring Your own truth are Your gift to the world.

This insight and exercise are part of a Home Development program, “A Call to Presence”, which has been developed by Julie to provide a practical framework for strengthening your own Higher Self connection.

This program is focussed on supporting you in becoming your “diamond self” in a non-fluffy, down to earth way that is also guided by Spirit and supported by science.

Julie is the originator of “The Diamond Light Grid Alignment”, a process that assists you in restructuring your energy fields for optimising your potential and maintaining balance. It is “ascension” in its most practical form!

Julie also runs a number of hands-on Diamond development and other spiritual expansion workshops.

SiNeh~

An easy-going little post with few words only; deliberately to cheer your day - 'It's All Right...'

Every day provides opportunities to venture a new beginning.

To discard mistakes of the past,

like ...put down a winter coat in the sunshine of spring...

Renewal Every Day !

Each of us has the chance !

If sings George from the long cold winter, which has now passed, so should this time be a comparison for our hardships that we have left behind now with the new start, the return of the sun.

Replace the 'Sun' with 'Son' 

No matter how dark your days may be, the sun comes out again and again and dissipate the dark fog ... 
...Each 'winter' inevitably entails the spring, the growth, prosperity ...

And it's not George Harrison if he just would have not been packed the lyrics with his own knowledge:

This mature human, musical genius and finally spiritually awaken.

A brilliant of world of music.

And is there a wonderful message hidden, in a way how only few people could express

and at the same time could conceal such as Harrison:

Our spiritual awakening !

After the time of the cold, of oppression, deceit and ego, we reflect on our true nature !

Let consciously rise the Sun (sun) as Son (son).

He completes the son(g) with:

Here comes the sun

It's all right

By repeating some passages he skillfully sets a focus, an intensification

on the statement - so very hidden.

Just living spirituality.

This little song helps me to stay positively, about things went wrong out there and get excited or on matters which were not properly.

Playful musical style for my Inner Child, it improves my mood.

One simple optimistically belief, perhaps the epitome, summit of The Beatles songs.

George wrote the piece when he returned from India in his deep affection for Krishna and discovered Hinduism.

But it was a difficult time for him

In January 1969, he had left the Beatles for several days in the dispute during the sessions for the 'get back project'.

On February 8, 1969, his tonsils had to be removed, on March 12, 1969, he was due to have been arrested in possession of marijuana.

As burdensome, he also felt the business disputes in the context of the Beatles company 'Apple'.

So he decided one day to escape the whole for a while and visited his friend

Eric Clapton.

Then, in his garden, he composed the song.

But I think that we shouldn't read too much into this ditty.

We simply allow the message:

You can experience the uplifting moment every day; smile !

This song let you smile inwardly ?

Then it has fulfilled its purpose.

Sing or hum along, for this it's created.

- Thank you George.

Enjoy Spring everyone  - Parsifal

If someone ever asks you what the meaning of life is, just tell them, it's beautiful moments like this.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes 

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
It's all right, it's all right
- George Harrison
