Being a good person
The true spiritual work
I love my psychic and clairvoyant abilities.
I love exploring spirit guides, past lives, energy healing, the spiritual realm, other realms, chakras, aura, crystals, tarot cards, spirit animals, extraterrestrials, and so on.
I love sitting with individuals and providing them with a psychic and clairvoyant reading which helps them move forward.
I love guiding someone through a healing experience and seeing that they feel calmer and reassured afterwards.
At the same time, I am concerned that, in the first instance, when someone is at the beginning of their spiritual journey, most of what I have mentioned above are distracting, alluring shiny objects which often take you away from the real spiritual work.
Which, in my opinion, is to become a good person.
Yes, it is essential to learn how to follow your intuition and trust it. When you learn to trust your intuition and follow it wholeheartedly, your life will undoubtedly change for the better.
At the same time, I feel that it is equally vital to use your spiritual growth journey to become a good person to yourself and others.
What is a good person?
Self-aware. A good person is self-aware. There will always be blind spots, but they have worked on their self-awareness and continue to work on increasing it. Because they know that the more self-aware they become, the more present they can be. They know their values and purpose.
Groundedness. A good person is grounded in themselves. Being grounded is the key to not getting caught up in someone else’s whirlwind or ideas and not getting distracted by fanciful ideas.
Authenticity. A good person is authentic. They know what they want and are confident enough to say no to what they don’t want.
Integrity. A good person has integrity. In other words, they say what they do and do what they say. To always have integrity is impossible; however, it is an admirable trait to aspire for. A good person is always trying to increase their integrity.
Tactfulness. A good person has tact. Meaning, they are someone who can deal with issues whilst being sensitive to others. They are also not afraid of taking on difficult conversations.
Conscientiousness. A good person is conscientious. They know what they are good at and want to do it well.
Communication. A good person is a good communicator. When they communicate, they do so from a place of ease, flow and presence.
Honesty. A good person is honest. To always be honest is not possible, but it is a character trait that they strive for.
Clarity. A good person speaks with clarity. Brene Brown says clarity is kind, and a good person tries to create as much clarity as possible.
Humour. A good person has humour. A good person can laugh and laugh at themselves - not always taking everything too seriously.
Kindness. A good person is kind. This one is perhaps obvious but still important to mention.
Compassionate. A good person has compassion. Another obvious one, but still important to say.
There are, of course, many more character traits that a good person has, but I think these are core and as essential to developing as learning the 78 cards of the tarot deck.
Further, I am far from achieving everything I mentioned above. This is a lifelong journey, and it never ends.
How to become a good person?
Meditation. I meditate every day, twice a day, for one hour. My meditation is where I get the inner strength and guidance to bring forward as much as the ideas I mentioned above. In my meditation, I am able to let go of childhood trauma, social conditioning and return to my most authentic self.
Journaling. By writing down my thoughts and noticing what I write down, I can change the story I’m telling as I write it. I am rewriting my assumptions as they are forming.
Reading. I have learnt so much from self-help books and from reading fiction. By reading fiction books, I can delve deep into someone's character, reflect on their actions and think to myself what is working and what is not.
Coaching/Healing/Guidance. I have received a tremendous amount of healing, coaching and mentoring from my spiritual teacher. It has been invaluable and has undoubtedly made me a better person.
