Spiritual Hygiene
The best way to avoid being fooled by people who boast about their spiritual life and successes is to keep a cautious eye out for them. As they offer their insights, they often backhandedly preach spirituality as if it were simple. While you may gain some helpful information, you feel shattered inside. You think you're being humbled by acknowledging your inner flaws, which is not always easy. Whenever you talk to a spiritual advisor, the problem is that you always feel depleted and low. This is your cue to abort this mission if and when that happens.
They may use their spirituality to gain your trust and exploit you somehow. It is imperative to remember that it is not wrong to be spiritual and religious. This is as long as you are not utilizing it as a tool to manipulate others. Be aware of those who exploit their spiritual lives to deceive and exploit others. Trust, but verify. People who use spirituality as a tool to manipulate others often employ it as a guise of superiority. They may use it to control those around them or gain access to resources or information they would not otherwise have access to. It is imperative to remember that spiritual life can be a powerful and positive tool, but it can also be abused as a tool of manipulation and deceit. Those with God complexes will use their "story, their profound realizations" to assert dominance.
Spiritual hygiene is the practice of maintaining your energetic state. It is critical to align with yourself so that you are not allowing other people into your space that could disrupt this. Let's look at some things you can do to maintain your energy, including removing negative people from your life and keeping positive ones there instead.
Spiritual hygiene is the idea of maintaining our energetic state.
You have to be careful who you invite into your life and space because if they bring negative energy with them, it will stick to you like a magnet. Preventing negative energy is essential for maintaining a healthy mind and body.
To maintain your energetic state, you need to be clear on some things:
- Being vulnerable is a great way to open up your aura and allow more light in, but it can also leave you open to receiving harmful energy. This is especially true if the constructive criticism you receive comes from someone who is shaming or invalidating.
-When you experience shame, it closes down your ears and blinds you from seeing your potentials. Shame is a defence mechanism to keep yourself safe from being hurt again. But in reality, shame actually keeps you from moving forward in life.
-Shame makes you feel like something is wrong with you; it makes you believe you are not good enough for something or someone. However, this feeling is false because it was created by others' negative words about themselves or others like them!
-The bottom line: when you're being criticized for something, the person criticizing you must do so in a way that leaves you feeling validated and supported. If they don't, it will perpetuate your inner negative self-talk louder than ever before!
- Your emotions. If you are angry or jealous, those emotions will affect your aura. It's important to be aware of them and ensure they aren't clouding your judgment or operating from a place of lack.
-Your thoughts. Are they positive or negative? Do they help or hinder? If they're negative thoughts aimed at someone else (i.e., "I hate him" or "She's so annoying"), make sure that they don't turn into harmful energy directed at another person through telepathy or any other means of communication (verbal, physical).
You must eliminate other people's negative energy in your space and your life.
This is not just a spiritual practice; it's also a physical one. If you don't take care of yourself, if you don't protect yourself and keep yourself clean, then all kinds of things can happen: disease, bad luck--you name it!
Let's think about it logically for a minute: if we touch something with our hands, feet, or face (or any other part of us). We don't realize we've been contaminated until long after symptoms appear in another part of our bodies (which can take days or years). Usually, when we touch something next, our bodies pick up those germs and spread them to other parts of our bodies. In this way, negative energy acts like a virus because once someone has been infected with either positive or negative emotions through contact, these emotions become transmitted to everything around them. The most damaging interactions are those with spiritual advisors, interviews, and meetings at work. Someone can mean well, but it does not necessarily mean they are doing well. These types of encounters can often leave us feeling drained, manipulated, and worse off than before. We should be mindful of how and when we give our energy away and take the time to nourish and protect ourselves.
People may try to use your emotions against you, so be careful who you invite into your life.
Especially spiritual leaders, listeners often give their power away unknowingly, which is often the trap of believing someone else holds the key to enlightenment. Everyone has access to inner wisdom, but often the busyness or traumas of a life cut them off from their higher source.
Emotions are powerful and can be used against us by those we trust. Sometimes people come into our lives for a reason, but sometimes they don't leave because of a secret agenda. We need to pay attention to what is going on around us and who is coming into it as well as how this affects ourselves
If someone is not treating you right, they are not worth your time or energy.
You must be careful when spending time with people because someone out there might try to take your psychological power. For instance, some people will try to make you feel inferior by belittling you for not being flawless. As we grow through trials and errors of growth, individuals and others need compassion, not an iron fist.
Be assertive and set spiritual boundaries. Don't let “God-complex personalities” drain your light to feed their inflated egos. Understand this is most probably happening on a subconscious level.
Make sure you communicate your beliefs clearly, and that they are respected. Make sure you communicate your beliefs clearly, and that they are respected. Speak up and ensure they understand the spiritual definition that best resonates with you. Don't allow others' opinions to drown out your inner voice and to know.
If they still try to dishonour you, then distance yourself from them.
You need to pay attention to what is happening around you, who is coming into it, and how this affects you
If you are not paying attention, then it is possible that something negative could happen because of your lack of awareness. Suppose we want our homes to be a sanctuary where we can rest and relax without being disturbed by outside influences. In that case, we must ensure everything around us is clean and pure. This is so that no unclean spirits will enter your space through any cracks in the walls, windows, or doors.
Don’t give your power away!
We should all strive to become better people. Spiritual hygiene is the key to that goal. It's not just about cleaning up our bodies or minds of harmful substances; it's about ensuring our actions align with our beliefs. Spiritual hygiene isn't just for religious people, either! Anyone can benefit from practicing these principles because they allow us all to live more fulfilling lives filled with peace, contentment and love.
It would help if you were wary of those who speak highly of their spiritual life and successes. These people often act like they have it all together, but internally they rarely do, even if externally, they do. They may use their spirituality to gain your trust and exploit you. It is imperative to remember that it is not wrong to be spiritual and religious. This is as long as you are not utilizing it as a tool to manipulate others. Be aware of those who exploit their spiritual lives to deceive and exploit others. Trust, but verify. People who use spirituality as a tool to manipulate others often employ it as a guise of superiority. They may use it to control those around them or gain access to resources or information they would not otherwise have access to. It is imperative to remember that spiritual life can be a powerful and positive tool. However, it can also be abused as a tool of manipulation and deceit. Those with God complexes will use their "story and profound realizations" to assert dominance. Truly evolved souls don't need to dominate. They want to help elevate through love and empowerment. Please never forget that.
