How to know if you are in alignment?
There is one word that will reflect it directly. Relaxation. Just ask yourself how relaxed do you feel. Check your body for signs of tension and then Sloooooow doooown. Relax. Breathe. Whatever moment you find yourself in relax into it. When we are relaxed clarity comes to surface and we find ourselves knowing the very answers we seek (whilst in the hyperactive state of mind)
The key to spiritual mastery starts and ends with one word "Relaxation". If the spiritual or religious path you are on doesn't make you feel relaxed, then it's not in alignment with the Highest Truth. Oooooh.. I know, I know yet feel into this. Highest truths have a quality to give a sense of relief. All day everyday remember to relax as often as you remember until it becomes your natural state. New thought comes into your mind. Ask yourself if it relaxes you or causes tension. If it doesn't relax you, then it is not helpful for you. (You do have a choice to choose a different thought) Same goes for social experiences and interacting. Does this interaction relaxes you or causes tension? This doesn't mean you run away from life experiences, it just means you relax whilst life unfolds and if something is not in alignment with your highest good you will know it by the tension in your body. Then it's back to you to make choices that are in alignment with your highest good. Always use your own discernment to know if something feels good and relaxing or is it pushing your healthy boundaries (not to be confused with going outside of your comfort zone for that is where the growth begins-at the end of your comfort zone) healthy boundaries are there for you to nourish yourself and to ensure your wellbeing.
