Many people have described this moment as the <a title=\"Living the Spiritual\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/living-the-spiritual.html\"><strong>sensation of being guided<\/strong><\/a>. One of the most common ways to describe this experience is that it feels like being within the moment of absolute flow\u2014the feeling of being on autopilot.<\/p>\n<p>While I believe that some of us are indeed guided on our spiritual path by others, I also like to think we have the ability to <a title=\"Destiny and Free Will\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/destiny-and-free-will.html\"><strong>guide our own destiny<\/strong><\/a>. This is the moment you know yourself and your skill set so well that you can actually guide your life from your inner core without having to think about it. This is the state that most artists and athletes find themselves in once they reach their peak level of training.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>People often speak of reaching a spiritual peak while going through a tragic event, like the loss of a job or a loved one. However, it is not the event that creates such growth, but rather the challenge that has been presented to the spirit. To understand this, we first need to understand the concept of how flow works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spiritual Flow vs. Anxiety and Apathy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When talking about flow, it is appropriate to mention the research by psychologist Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi. He describes flow as being within the sweet spot of life&#8217;s experiences, meaning that you are neither bored with monotony, nor overburdened with too-big challenges. In other words, it is the moment of pure joy. The alternative to living within this sweet spot is either living a life of apathy (no interest or challenge) or anxiety (too much challenge and not enough skill).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Is your day-to-day making you feel anxious? <a title=\"Psychic Prinny ext. 5134\" href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/newcustomer\/v5\/completecheckout\/?extid=5134&amp;nostep=true&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-prinny-ext-5134\">Learn how to manage your emotions<\/a> during a life path reading with Psychic Prinny ext. 5134.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>What is interesting about Czikszentmihalyi&#8217;s idea, is that while some people strive to make their life easier, in actuality, easier is not really what they should be after as that only creates boredom and apathy. Boredom stagnates flow because it diminishes the power to arouse, which comes naturally from challenging yourself to reach seemingly impossible goals. It is at this point that a person has two choices: They can either become anxious at the thought of overcoming something they cannot reach, or they can feel challenged to <a title=\"3 Ways to Achieve Your Goals\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/3-ways-to-achieve-your-goals.html\"><strong>develop the skills to make that goal come true<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is far easier to reach too high and have to develop the skills to realize your potential, than to never seek the challenge, and continue to achieve the same level of spiritual actualization day in and day out. The research of psychiatrist George Vaillant suggests that one of the greatest tools for achieving happiness and self-fulfillment is the act of learning new things. Other studies have shown that one of the crowning moments in a person&#8217;s day that makes the difference between a good or bad one, is whether or not they&#8217;ve learned something new.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What new things interest you?

It is then that they can allow themselves to be absorbed into the moment and will find peace and clarity within their internal dialogue. As a spiritual man or woman, this same technique can be applied to help you reach the heights of your spiritual beliefs and values, but the first step is to continue asking the difficult questions.<\/p>\n<p>The path to enlightenment is not within the answers you seek, but within the questions that arouse your excitement and your desire to learn. There are many things in this universe that we will never know, and this is the spice that drives happiness and spirituality into your life, so long as you choose to never stop seeking this enlightenment. However, if there was one thing that could be called a secret within this exercise, it is the importance of believing that you possess the capability to reach your spiritual peak (destiny).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You have the ability to <a title=\"Psychic Royce ext. 5448\" href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/newcustomer\/v5\/completecheckout\/?extid=5448&amp;nostep=true&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-royce-ext-5448\">reach your spiritual peak<\/a> with sage wisdom and guidance from Psychic Royce ext. 5448.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is within this confidence that you understand your peak should not be the moment you understand all there is to know, but the moment you can let yourself go to experience all the mystery and beauty within the unknown. It is when excitement becomes its own reward, that you can truly appreciate the never-ending peak of your spiritual growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reaching your spiritual peak is a worthy goal for anyone to achieve.
