Spirituality

Marie Therese is a writer and an autodidact of metaphysics and spirituality. She writes about her passions. Some of these include spirituality, social issues, and mental illness. She writes to assimilate the beauty and the challenges of the human condition. Writing for her is a compulsion.

Spirituality is an integral part of her being. Therese believes there is one energy, a Universal energy, that connects all living creatures. Our spirit is an intricate and beautiful part of who we are and, in a broader sense, an integral part of the Universe. Our spirit is that higher aspect of ourselves, that part of ourselves that’s joyful and light. That part of ourselves that directs us to help others, connects us to animals and nature alike - it’s that sweet silent voice, intuition, gut feeling, that nudges in a particular direction or to a particular person; this is our spirit (energy) and this is connected to all creation. People will often focus on changing jobs, moving away from certain people they perceive as toxic or changing a habit but neglect the spiritual part of themselves.

Therese believes we can create anything we want when we take full responsibility for our lives. “Everything starts and ends with you.” Your thoughts, words and actions are all energy and are directly connected to our overall state of being. When you acknowledge this and take responsibility for your life, a whole world of infinite possibilities will open up. She believes that you have to integrate the whole of who you are: mind, body, spirit and attend to all aspects of yourself. If one aspect is neglected, the whole will be affected.

The Chinese Philosopher, Lau Tzu, eloquently put it, “Watch your thoughts, as they become your words, watch your words they become your actions; watch your actions they become your habits; watch your habits; they become your character; watch your character it becomes your destiny.”The extension of this is what you put out into the world; is what you receive. As the Universe is our mirror and we are all made of energy we attach to the same vibration. Our bodies, thoughts, actions, and emotions are all energy. Each has a gravitational pull (magnet).

To manifest anything we desire, we have to decide what we want, intentions/wishes tell the Universe. It’s essential to be specific about what you want. We need to align our energy to the very thing we desire. We need to act as though we have already received it - this is physics. Finally, we need to let go (surrender) and allow the Universe to work its magic. Of course, we have to believe to receive. Wishes do come true, but not in our time. And not in the way we expected. Most often, it’s even better than we expect. And it happens in the Universe time.

Nature is a perfect example of this beautiful symphony.

Nature

Like a river running up a stream, things are seldom as they seem.

A flower doesn’t “try” to grow - it yields and blossoms with the season’s flow.

And when it’s time for rebirth, the leaves fall gracefully to the earth.

And a caterpillar that has been cocooned courageously breaks free to become the magical butterfly.

Epitomising the marvelous cycle of life, death and rebirth; hope and freedom too.

And the ocean, it’s calm and still, and the waves that rage and kill.

And the chill of winter snow.

These snowflakes melt away our troubles as they gently fall from grace above.

And the sun that radiates warmth and glow invigorates the soul with love.

The stars that glisten in the night sky; represent each one of us, too.

And the moon which radiates enlightenment and illuminates our consciousness.

The rain that quenches dry land; nature works hand-in-hand.

And a blackbird who chirps and sings, moves in flocks, together sings.

These birds protect each other from predators, too.

Life is waiting just for you.
