The cleansing feeling that comes from our found moments of spirituality is an appropriate metaphor for “spiritual hygiene” routines. These are ways to feed your soul and strengthen your spirit, just like our daily personal hygiene rituals. Spiritual hygiene practiced daily is ongoing and comprehensive, just like personal hygiene, and it rewards us with stamina to draw upon when adversity strikes.
As we know from the famed “law of attraction,” our desires, channeled through imagination, thoughts, intentions, and words, flow out into the universe. Your desire is never “doing nothing” – it is always working for or against your highest good. Desire is one of the keys to successfully manifesting anything in the material world.
While you can want something fully, you must also learn to open your heart to whatever outcome occurs. So the authors’ concept of detachment is not forcing you to want nothing and not about letting go of any goals and dreams. Practicing detachment helps us separate from the expectation and accept the reality of what unfolds.
In The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit you’ll find an interesting section on confidence and consciousness, discussing the way intuitive people seek solitude to cultivate their intuitive faculties, and how they fully listen, and confidently act upon their intuition.
Finally, we are all spiritually bulletproof people. We have the resilience to bounce back from life’s toughest hits. When we become more conscious of our goals and values, our purpose or calling in life comes into focus. “The key," according to Khamisa and Quinn, "is to figure out where your goals and your values intersect. It‘s not enough to know what you want, you need to be clear about what really matters to you and who you really are.”
Fortunately, The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit includes a “Bounce Back Boot Camp” section at the end of each chapter, to aid your thought process and journal keeping as you move closer to spiritual resilience, and includes helpful affirmations to keep you on track.
