Creating a Spiritual Compass

by Angela Levesque

We live in a world that is always telling us what to do and how to do it. This is very disempowering as it leaves us to look outside ourselves for the answers, and it keeps us vulnerable to the whim of the collective consciousness. This extrinsic and outcome focused way of being removes us from the present moment experience. It can leave us feeling like we are not enough, so we create an idea of what we think ‘enoughness’ looks like and use that as our measurement for success. Moving from a place of lack does not give us a sense of direction or provide long-term motivation. So, how do we create a better, more enduring experience? A life filled with clarity and purpose? First, we get clear on our intention, focus on the experience we want to have and then take steps in alignment with those desires. This is how we create our spiritual compass and our way to success.

Making a Spiritual Commitment

This is your intention. Think of intention as the ultimate ideal you want to exemplify in your life. For example, gratefulness or well-being. If you have a tendency to overeat, maybe it is temperance or moderation in thought and action that you desire. This intention is the calibration of your spiritual compass. The reason it should be simplified down into a single word or short phrase it that gives you a direction. This is your spiritual north. When we make our intention too complicated, it can make it hard for us to stick with it. It should be the big picture, soul-level desire that can be summed up in a single word or a simple phrase. Intentions are not detail driven because they don’t have to be. It is through this intention that you create an energetic agreement with the universe. It is how you raise your vibration to meet that of your desire.
