When we achieve spiritual wellness, we find meaning, peace and fulfillment living on Earth, despite the number of challenges we face here. Spiritual wellness comes about when we see ourselves through the lens of our soul, as opposed to our human mind and body.

It is impossible for me to help my clients regain their full physical and emotional health without teaching them the spiritual perspective that pertains to their lives.

It is usually only when I explain to a suicidal individual they will have to return to live another lifetime of pain, unless they come to a place of peace and understanding this lifetime, that they regain their incentive to continue living. If they are uncertain as to whether I am correct, I ask them if they would even take the chance of having to go through similar pain again.

So far, every client’s response has been “No.” Literally, the trajectory of a person’s life can depend on whether they develop a spiritual perspective or not.

What are the other reasons why spiritual wellness is important?

We gain the following knowledge, contributing to our total wellbeing:

1. We don’t die.
   When we know we have lived other lives and will live more, we can let go of the fear of dying and celebrate the growth of our soul instead.


2. We can have an easier time mourning those we loved.
   No one is gone forever; we will see our loved ones again. And we will get the chance to apologize to those we never had the nerve to apologize to before they went to the other side!


3. We can act with love versus fear.
   When we understand that the goal of our soul is to grow by responding with love (grace, gratitude, forgiveness, kindness etc) versus fear (judgment, greed, anger, resentment etc), we can focus more on being the best we can be.


4. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
   We see the lessons we are to learn from each circumstance and relationship and know that no moment is ever wasted.


5. We are not alone.
   We can connect with our angels, spirit guides, higher selves and the spirits of those we knew on Earth.


6. We are guided at all times.
   When we can see and understand the signs, sent from above, we know without a doubt we are being guided and helped.


7. We can turn our enemy into a loved one.
   Our enemy is the one that loves us the most on the other side. We can reach the point where we thank our enemy for teaching us like no other and forgive them. And we can know that the universe keeps a perfect set of books – all is fair between lives.


8. We can see inappropriate behaviour with compassion.
   We can know that when others act in ways we deem inappropriate, they are usually in pain or suffering and our hearts can open to them.


9. We can come to peace with our past.
   If we suffered at the hands of our parents but learn that our souls chose our parents in order to learn certain lessons, how does that influence the way we look at our past?


10. We can manifest what we want.
    We can pray for help, believing a higher power will respond and receive the answers to our prayers when we meditate. When we pray for something that is for our highest good, we always receive it.

This way of seeing things has been vital to the happiness and health I experience in my life. My hope is that this glimpse into why spiritual wellness is important will encourage you to want to learn more!
