Connecting Consciousness Monthly Spiritual Topics

Overview

We create new monthly spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are also posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Objectives

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.

Aims

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

 

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

 

  • Access their own inner knowledge and inner authority, 

  • Understand their spirituality, 

  • Recognize, acknowledge, and heal their shadow side, 

  • Heal inner wounds,

  • Develop their sovereignty,

  • Apply knowledge learned for their highest and greatest good,

  • Become more understanding and compassionate,

  • More easily handle challenges and disasters, and move through life with ease and grace (despite the outer environment).

Topic: Honouring Emotions and Vibrations

 

Months: February 2025

The universe responds to our choices—to our thoughts and feelings—and we attract more of what we focus on. We are responsible for our thoughts and feelings. When we take self-control and empower ourselves to choose positive emotions, or a more positive emotion and then another and another, we raise our vibration. When we are in a high vibrational state and experiencing joy, it is impossible to at the same time experience depression, anger, fear, or any other negative emotion.

 

Because we are emotional and physical beings, it is unrealistic to remain in an artificially high vibrational state all the time. While we want to keep our thoughts positive, we do not want to ignore or suppress feelings that rise to the surface. In today’s world, most of us at least occasionally experience feelings of sadness, irritation, impatience, hopelessness, and other less-than-desirable emotions. Also, we want to recognise that external factors do not always affect our moods and emotions; internal factors do as well. It can be harder to solve undesired feelings when they arise internally. When these feelings arise, it is important to recognise them without letting them build up and take on a new gloomier form, such as despair or depression. Please see the March Worksheet for strategies on how to help achieve this.  

 

We also want to avoid becoming so concerned about maintaining high vibrations that we avoid people who are struggling with difficult situations. One can be strong enough in their compassion and desire to help that they can support others without being brought down by negative energies. The key is observing low-frequency situations and offering compassion without taking on the lower vibrations.

 

A good strategy for managing negative emotions is identifying and acknowledging one’s emotions and accepting where one is. When one recognises and honours their feelings in a non-judgmental way (even if it isn’t where one wants to be), one can start to make conscious choices to move in the direction of their desired state. 

 

Honoring one’s feelings in a non-judgmental, kind, and compassionate manner can be challenging, especially when experiencing intense emotions. It takes awareness, time, and practice. While we tend to give others a break, we are often hard on ourselves. Yet we are here on Earth to fully experience life, including many different situations, people, and events, and along with it, a variety of emotions. Just because you experience sorrow or anger or other ‘negative’ emotions, it does not mean you are not progressing or that you’ve stepped off your spiritual path. It could be the opposite – an experience you need in order to progress. Also, remember that it is often the undesired situations and emotions that help us identify what we really want.

 

“Emotion is the chief source of all becoming conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.”—Carl Yung
