When To Turn To A Spiritual Teacher

In traditional tribal cultures, spiritual leaders were greatly respected, when icons such as wise elders, shamans, and medicine men looked after and inspired the spiritual health of the tribe. Nowadays, it can be challenging to find sage gurus to help us navigate life, but often when you are most in need, they have a wonderful habit of suddenly entering your experience. 

Has Your Life Given You Any Signals That It’s Time To Go Deeper?

If long-held resistance or energy blockage goes unaddressed, negative manifestations might crop up in daily life. But sometimes difficult experiences can be the very things that lead us to a deeper quest for spiritual truth. If any of these symptoms or situations are appearing in your life, it might be time to seek counsel you can trust. 

Weight/Body Image Issues
From a spiritual perspective, a person at war with their own body has (only temporarily) lost sight of themselves as the complete, beautiful, valuable person that they inherently are.

Drug or Alcohol Dependency
Fear of being alone, paralyzing insecurity, and hereditary factors are just a few of the causes of addictions. Opening the mind and heart to new ideas about spirituality can provide the security, confidence, and well-being that every addict desires.

Abusive Relationships
A spiritual journey can be the key factor in breaking needless cycles of pain, and finding the confidence to leave harmful situations behind. Nourishing, healthy, loving relationships await.

Chronic Pain/Serious Illness. 
Yes, physical pain is real, but in many cases a persistent negative physical condition has a mental and emotional root that can be relieved.

Depression. 

Everyone has down moments. But when feelings of anxiety, despair and hopelessness overwhelm our ability to lead happy, healthy lives, it’s time to ask for guidance.
