The Spiritual Nomad

B Y L I S A R E N E E





THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PHASE that occurs in the process of initiation for many lightworkers that I refer to as "The Spiritual Nomad". Often, when one reaches this transition phase of spiritual evolution, it can be so painfully unnerving to the personality/ ego that it not only devastates one's self esteem, it also severely undermines our confidence to manifest even the most basic needs for our survival. It is precisely our "root" fears of survival that are being shaken to the core and unpeeled from us during this process. We are being prompted to work toward clearing these fears and perfecting our trust and surrender. So it is extremely important to understand the dynamics of why this occurs and actually how entirely common it is!



This will help you avoid the pitfall of allowing yourself to dwell in feelings of humiliation, shame and embarrassment by this externalization of forces that transform your world in to what appears to be a great "sacrifice". This is a crucial part of some of our Light Family's development and I want you to realize that you indeed have many family members that either have already undergone, or are currently working through this phase of spiritual development. I promise you this is a TEMPORARY phase. So if you know anyone who is presently working through this, do be sure to acknowledge their courage, strength and bravery to surrender to divine order and align to their soul's purpose. Send them love. This is the TRUTH of what they are doing and it is to be honored and acknowledged.



We need to be more conscious of supporting those being recruited (The Newbies) and the new additions (Child Indigos, Crystals and Aliens) awakening to reinforce our divine purposes of bringing higher consciousness to this planet. We are moving incredibly swiftly - forward!



What is the Spiritual Nomad?

Some questions to define "The Spiritual Nomad":



a.. Are you currently jobless, juggling jobs, possibly homeless and relationship- less... much to your own bewilderment because you are an incredibly talented, skilled and loving being? You may even have an L.A.c, Ph.d, M.H.T and other assorted credentials after your name.





b.. Do you feel invisible - like no one will hire you, love you or even recognize you? And, really, for no apparent reason (it feels like you have a mark on your forehead)?





c.. Are you unable to do anything as you did in the past to earn a living or live as you once did?





d.. Are you a healer or working in the healing arts, running around trying to find a way to translate this into cash or a means of support?





e.. Do you seem to travel a lot, drive or go long distances, or sleep in several different places in short periods of time, perhaps even on your ex's couch?





f.. Do you feel confused about your purpose and identity in the world?





g.. Are there people, such as your biological family or friends, who are completely shocked or troubled by your life, attempting to offer their advice of what went wrong with you?





Oh my dear one, welcome to "The Spiritual Nomad". Fun, isn't it? The rest of this article is for you!



THIS IS THE TIME in one's life where every aspect of perceived "security" in the structure of the human world is completely unstable, unknown and unforeseen. Your life in all major areas, such as relationship, money, career, residence is all abruptly halted, changed and/or terminated. You are left feeling isolated and standing in a place of total bewilderment, wondering what happened to your life, the people in it and your former identity. This sets off every fear button you have because there is absolutely no sign of what is going on, what is coming or why it's happening. There is only a sense that some force came in, picked you up out of your hologram and placed you into someone else's life. For a while, you may not recognize whose life it is! It is very much like the sensation captured in the Talking Heads song lyrics, "Once in a Lifetime"...



Where does that highway go?

And you may ask yourself

Am I right? Am I wrong?

And you may tell yourself

MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?





I have included the full lyrics for your amusement at the end of this article just to remind you that there are many others walking this path, and feeling just the same way you are!



In the process of our unraveling consciousness in this human drama setting, this is one of the experiences that we have set up as "spirit" to create the experience of learning to FULLY surrender to divine forces. It is a complete dismantling of our ego and ego defenses. This is the crossroads where we start to leave the world of human order and align to the Divine Order. To many of our earthly cohorts, biological families and old energy friends, it will appear as if we have stepped off the edge of a chasm into a realm of insanity.



Groups will stand around shaking their heads, whispering how you have gone off your rocker and offer lots of advice and theories to your problems and issues. As unsolicited advice starts mounting - generally suggesting that you are incompetent, "less than", unrealistic, ungrounded, living in the clouds or just purely strange - your subconscious fear programs get triggered. Maybe, just maybe, could they be right? Internal pressures increase and you feel extremely conflicted about who you really ARE and what the heck you are doing with your life. This sets you off on a tangent of extreme inner examination and the re-evaluation of every goal, dream, thought and idea that you have had about your role in the world. Will I EVER make it? Will I ever become self actualized? Will I have the ability to create abundance in my life?



This process is designed to cultivate the incredible inner strength needed to face yourself and your deepest fears of survival. You then become intimate with the universal Law of Abundance and learn how generous the universe really is, even if it's not all manifested in order of your personal preference. You find that somehow, someway, all your base needs are being met, even though you have not the foggiest clue how it's happening or who some of the strangers are that have appeared in your life to support you - in ways you would never imagine! You learn how to receive from total strangers (an illusion, as everyone is Family) or from new sources, and learn how to acknowledge and receive these new ideas of abundance of which you were not formerly aware.



So, most commonly, one is feeling a type of embarrassment at being in the situation one is in; yet, simultaneously, feeling gratitude at these blessings being demonstrated at the most mundane levels (or even incredibly opulent levels) of existence. Finally, at about this time, you begin to Trust and realize that you REALLY are divinely protected and supported! You can relax now (at least a little)!



Here's an example of my own experience: I was classified as "homeless" (as the Spiritual Nomad) and, yet, found myself staying and living in multi-million dollar mansions... and actually more than one at a time! The juxtaposition of having $20 to my name and hanging out in sprawling acreages with koi ponds was really quite bewildering to my brain/ego. I began to experience a new level of universal abundance and had to release my attachment to my ego's desire/need to create it as coming from me. That illusion was a tricky one to dispel! I spent many bemused moments pondering the circumstances in which I found myself. It cultivated in me a trust that my needs would be met and that my spiritual path and mission was indeed supported in the physical world.



These experiences DO cultivate a level of deep faith and trust in the Divine Order, even when you do not have any external validation of "safety" - and that safety could be monetary, emotional support or a place to call "home" with a bed in it. Even when you are feeling blind and disconnected, to face this uncertainty and to find yourself 'okay' with it all is a major revelation. When you realize that your deepest fears (so many of them!) did not happen anyway, and, if they did... well, it really was not as bad as you once imagined it! My God! You can face just about anything! Your personal power begins to increase and your inner light glows ever more radiantly!



Well, my little darlings, if you find yourself smack dab in the center of this process, know that Spirit has many designs and great plans for you! It is important to work through all your fear, worry and obsessions. Then work to allow guidance, support and the light to shine on your path, even when it makes absolutely NO logical sense. You are learning to work your new Higher Sensory Perceptions and these antennae within you are being finely tuned for your new task and mission in the world.



You cannot "make" anything happen while you are in this process. So, you must relax as best you can. You are in transition to your greater destiny. When relaxing, you are expanding, not constricting, and the divine forces can more easily work through you and for you. Know that transformational forces are working magic in your life in ways you cannot comprehend. There really IS a Divine Order to what is happening to you. Know that it is okay not to know. Get more comfortable with uncertainty and external chaos while you cultivate that impenetrable core of divine essence to show the way for you and others. Finally, know that your Family is out here. We get it; we know what it's like and we love you for walking the path with US!



Until next time, stay in the luminosity of your Heart and Soul Path! We are here as One!



"Once in a lifetime"

by Talking Heads



And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife...



And you may ask yourself "Well, how did I get here?"



Refrain 1:

Letting the days go by / let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by / water flowing underground

Into the blue again / after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime / water flowing underground.



And you may ask yourself "How do I work this?"

And you may ask yourself "Where is that large automobile?"

And you may tell yourself "This is not my beautiful house!"

And you may tell yourself "This is not my beautiful wife!"



Repeat Refrain 1, once

Refrain 2:

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving, and water removing

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean

Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!



Repeat Refrain 1, twice

And you may ask yourself "What is that beautiful house?"

And you may ask yourself "Where does that highway go?"

And you may ask yourself "Am I right? Am I wrong?"

And you may tell yourself "MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?"



Repeat Refrain 1, twice

Repeat Refrain 2, once

The state we call realisation is simply being oneself,

not knowing anything or becoming anything.

It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.

If you succeed in judging yourself rightly,

then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.

Six Ways to Strengthen Your Intuition

Try these easy ways to boost your inner strength and listen to the whispers of your soul.

By Kirsten Harrell, PsyD

















Everyone has intuitive potential - men and women. It is a natural talent that everyone possesses. It is not something special limited to only a few gifted individuals. As a child, you freely accessed your intuition. Unfortunately, over time you likely received negative feedback from your peers, teachers, or family. You likely began to doubt your intuitive voice and shut down this channel of information. The good news is that with a little patience and practice you can strengthen and hone your intuition to create a valuable guidance system.



The first and most important thing that you can do to develop your intuition is to acknowledge and honor the intuitive messages that you are currently getting. Your intuitive voice is still there, you just need to tune into it. Start paying attention to and trusting those little hunches or gut feelings that you have. If you did nothing more than start honoring your intuitive impulses, you would find a dramatic improvement in your intuitive abilities.



1. Clearing your mind

It is easier to hear the whispers from the soul when your mind is quiet and open. You likely have lots of thoughts running through your mind at any given moment. You probably spend much of your day multi-tasking. All of this "noise" makes it difficult to hear your intuitive voice. It is important to find some ways to quiet your mind. You can't shut off your thoughts completely, but you can learn to slow them down. Let all the distracting thoughts flow out of your mind. Let them go. Picture your thoughts floating away on a cloud. Focus on your breathing and allow your mind and body to relax more with each breath. You might even try counting down from 10 to 1 and allow yourself to relax more with each count. Once your mind is clearer, you can then access your intuition.



2. Meditation

There are many forms of meditation and all are excellent ways to get centered and quiet the mind. Even a few minutes of meditation daily can increase your ability to hear your intuitive voice. Meditation is like priming the pump. As you get used to being in a meditative state, you will find that it is easier to hear the whispers from your soul and to distinguish these messages from other mental chatter. If you are new to meditation you might try sitting quietly and focusing your attention on a candle flame. When your awareness drifts (and it will), simply bring your attention gently back to the flame. You can also try focusing your attention on a short phrase or word (mantra) that you repeat over and over to yourself. Remember that the key is to gently bring your mind back to your focus point. Getting frustrated will only interfere with the process.



3. Imagery

You can use imagery to help you access intuitive answers to your questions. Imagine yourself in a quiet place in nature, surrounded by beauty and wonder. Make this image as vivid as possible by using all of your senses. Spend a few moments simply enjoying this place in your mind’s eye. Then, imagine a treasure chest nearby. You feel excited as you approach the chest because you know that the answer to your question is inside. Take a deep breath and imagine yourself opening the treasure chest. Don't try to control this, let your intuitive mind guide you. Trust that whatever is inside the chest is your answer. You might receive a very clear answer or you might get a symbol that doesn't make logical sense to you. Either way, it is exactly what you need. Trust that if the answer is not clear right away, it will become clear over time. Over the next few days, be open to feelings, songs, conversations, or any synchronistic events. Be patient! If you become frustrated or try to force an answer, you will block the flow of intuition.



4. Dreams

While you are sleeping and your conscious mind is at rest, your soul has the opportunity to bring intuitive information to you through your dreams. When you are working on a problem and looking for your intuitive guidance, take some time before you fall asleep to ask for an answer to come to you through your dreams. Be sure to keep a journal by your bed so that you can record your dreams the moment you wake up. Your answers may come symbolically and may need some interpretation. Look for the emotions and themes of your dreams and see if this sheds light on your problem. If the answer still is not clear, be patient and remain open. You may find more clarity with time.



5. Affirmations

You can use affirmations to focus your mind. It is best to use affirmations with some form of relaxation (such as deep breathing) in order to get the combined effects of a relaxed body and focused or centered mind. Affirmations are a terrific way to tap into the power of your subconscious mind to help you reach your conscious desires. Affirmations should be concise sentences stated in a positive way. When creating an affirmation remember to state what it is that you want, not what you don’t want. Another important guideline is to always use the present tense when creating your affirmations. The following are a few examples of affirmations to increase your intuitive abilities. I trust my intuition. My intuitive voice is consistently accurate. I access my intuition easily.



6. Practice

It is important to practice using your intuition. When you first start practicing you may want to begin with small issues that do not have a significant impact on your life. For example, try to guess who is calling before you pick up your phone. Guess which elevator will show up first when you are standing in front of a bank of elevators. Practicing with these simple issues will allow you to stay relaxed and focused without too much distraction from fear or other mental chatter. As you practice, you will get better at recognizing your intuitive impulses and you will gain confidence in using this skill. The more confident you feel about identifying your intuitive voice, the more you will trust it and be able to act on it. As you practice using your intuition and build your skill, you will find that your intuitive voice is a precious resource – an indispensable gift. You can use this inner wisdom to guide you in all of your decisions at work, at home, and at play. The more you use and trust your intuition, the stronger it will get and the more confident you will feel about it. The whispers from your soul will always guide you to the path that is for your highest good.
