Rebuilding Your Spiritual Structure From The Inside Out

Laura Cerrano

How many of us look to the outside world for happiness?

PEACE COMES FROM WITHIN, NOT WITHOUT
— Buddha

This past weekend, I attended my Kabbalah class which initiates and fosters a deeper connection to your higher self or SOUL self. At this level of self awareness, your intuition and consciousness of life expands greatly. So much so, that sometimes what is revealed to you could be shocking and disturbing. Truths about yourself, truths about others, and then comes that significant moment of making a CHOICE. Do I choose to hold onto the old paradigm or will I be courageous enough to merge with the new paradigm you have asked for.

Two intentions I held within my heart during class was to truly learn how to forgive and let go of the past. 

A word to the wise, choosing to hold onto emotions of grief, anger, and resentment WILL stunt anyone's personal and professional growth. Even more importantly,  those negative emotions emit low-frequencies and reduces the intimate connection to your SOUL self. Your SOUL self is mindful, conscious, responsible, compassionate, loving, balanced, and clear with his or her daily intentions.  Where attention goes, energy flows. 

After class, around 6pm, I returned home and was greeted with a swarm of termites inside my living room. They congregated in one corner of the room, essentially looking for a place to nest. Did this unnerve me a bit?? Yes!  But, I kept my cool and took care of the problem immediately and efficiently. 

Once I had that situation under control, I researched the metaphysical meaning of termites. These little guys are so powerful collectively, they have the ability to dismantle and even destroy the entire structure of a home. Now take that understanding and translate it to; because I’ve subconsciously chosen to hold onto old paradigms that no longer serve me, my inner harmony and happiness have slowly been eaten away. Fears and False beliefs about myself, others, and certain aspects of my personality need to be dismantled and rebuilt. Because I have subconsciously chosen not to accept change, I have become my own worst enemy. The universe is now forcing me to pay attention to my blind spots and actively participate in making healthy changes, or choose to continue to suffer emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. 

By sharing my story with you, it's helping me to release certain stuck emotions. I’m being honest with you and with myself, and that is not easy.

Remember, we are all on a journey of learning. And this journey requires choices. So what will you choose to do to help enhance your life?

Why Does the Octagon Shape Play Such an Important Role In Feng Shui?

In regard to sacred geometry when viewing the octagon, there are two shapes coming together as one; which is the circle and square. The circle represents heaven and the square represents earth, thus unifying these two energies through an infinite connection. 

 

In BTB Feng Shui (Bon Buddhism), the octagon is seen as a symbol of protection to ward off negative spiritual activity. A common modern day BTB recommendation is to hang an octagon shaped mirror above the outside of a home’s front door that is directly across the street from a cemetery. The octagon is also seen as a vehicle for the advent of good health and good fortune.

Referring to the Western Bagua Map, you’ll see that too is in the shape of an octagon. Each life section ( 8 all together) on the map relates to a main category that supports you through life experiences for self development. 

  • Reputation

  • Partnership

  • Creativity/Children

  • Helpful People/Travel

  • Career

  • Wisdom

  • Family/Health

  • Wealth

The octagon is also highly regarded in architecture. Temples, churches, monuments, and even government buildings are known to include the octagon shape into their architectural design.

In fact, the reconstruction of One World Trade Center in New York City, used the octagon shape as the base structure for their architectural design. What's even more fascinating about this choice, the octagon is considered a symbol of rebirth.
