9 Causes of Feeling Spiritually Disconnected

Author: Mystic Twins

We believe everyone has at least one spirit guide whose main role is to encourage you to make the most appropriate choices in order to learn, grow and accomplish the goals you incarnated for this time.

But sometimes when life isn’t going well, it may seem like you’re severely lacking in spiritual assistance. Why didn’t your guides help you avoid a that terrible situation? Couldn’t they have warned you about that person who you had no idea was a secret enemy? Is it possible that your guide took a leave of absence? Might they be upset with you for something you did?

Rest assured, we and many other experts have found that while some guides may come and go according to your needs, you always have at least one watching over you. They realize how difficult life on Earth can be and they have nothing but unconditional love for you.

Spirit guides cannot help you completely skip the not so pleasant events or people in your life that are important for your growth. However, the more you ask for help through prayer or meditation, the more you’ll become aware of their gentle support through dreams, signs, gut feelings, and your intuition.

If you’re feeling like you should be receiving more spiritual guidance, the actual problem may be that your spiritual connection is weak or clouded. Due to the often hectic lifestyle required in order to survive on this planet, it’s fairly easy to lose touch with the help that is available to you from the other side.

What Can Cause You to feel Spiritually Disconnected

1) Drug use or alcohol abuse
2) Excessive stress or anger
3) Negative people
4) Consistently ignoring your intuition
5) Poor diet such as excessive sugar, caffeine, processed foods or not enough quality protein
6) Lack of sleep, exercise, or meditation
7) Lack of enjoyment or fun
8) Dabbling in black magic
9) Spirit attachment or possession

Act Like a Guide To Connect With Your Guides

Stephen recently asked in meditation how he can strengthen his connection to his guides and they pointed out to him a situation from earlier that day with a friend who had been rude. He was considering writing an angry e-mail to the friend in response, but his guides reminded him that if he wants to be more in touch with them and their guidance, it would help to act like them. A higher level guide would not take it personally or respond with anger, but would consider why the person behaved as they did and then respond wisely, or at least like a rational adult.

Contacting Your Spirit Guide

Some experts recommend contacting your spirit guide through meditation. For beginners, we recommend being very careful with this. There are too many negative or lesser evolved spiritual and dark entities roaming around who could mislead you or worse and it’s not always easy to spot the impostors on the other side. Just because an entity isn’t in a physical body doesn’t mean they’re all knowing or even benevolent.

Instead, we advise regular meditation while envisioning white Light for protection in order to become centered, aware, and in touch with your higher self, which will also enhance your intuition. Later, after you have more experience meditating and practice protecting yourself spiritually, you can ask your spirit guide “of the Light” to help you perceive more about them or to assist you with something specific.

Karma Warning: 3 Examples of Black Magic to be Avoided at All Costs

Author: Mystic Twins

Black magic is defined as the misuse of spiritual energy including harming another person or attempting to get someone to act in accordance with your desires, especially if your desires oppose theirs.

In our view, spiritual power is to be used only for good. The moment you try to control or manipulate another person, you step over the line and incur negative karma.

Below we list 3 controversial examples of black magic.

1. Every single day the very acquisitive and charismatic minister fervently prays to his savior asking for big donations from his church members. He also emphasizes in every sermon the importance of giving back to the lord. “You can never tithe enough,” he regularly states.

The power of his prayer yields impressive results over his lower middle class, obedient congregation and it’s not uncommon for donors to happily exclaim, “I don’t know what came over me, but I was led to donate a lot more than I had originally planned!”

Over the years, the prayers intensify and the church acquires an abundance of resources allowing the minister to live affluently, well beyond the means of his contemporaries. Since it’s prayer, and it’s in accordance with a religiously sanctioned idol, it’s acceptable, right? Wrong. He might as well be calling on the high priest of darkness and his merry gang of demons in this money scheme. The power of prayer may be divine, but abusing it invites pure darkness, and incurs serious negative karma.

2. A 30-something mother of two young kids wants out of her marriage, but knows her teacher salary and her husband’s income won’t be enough to support their current lifestyles if they separate. She is attracted to her male friend (and his money) who has made it clear to her that he values their friendship, but he’s not interested in her romantically or sexually (he is gay, and everyone is well aware of this, but she refuses to let go of her agenda to have a child with him).

Crystal magic to the rescue! The young lady is obsessed with crystals and spell-casting. Justifying her intent to rope him in to support her (and her two kids, their college education, and her mother) by reasoning that he can afford it and would like it if he just gave her a chance, she attempts crystal-based magic to draw him in and even interfere with his love life.

Unfortunately for her, his acute self-awareness leads him to realize she is attempting to manipulate him and he calls her on it. Instead of admitting the obvious, she denies it and plays the victim, incurring even more bad karma, and their friendship ends.

3. A best-selling New Age author has decided that she would like to “neutralize” the spiritual teachers she deems unacceptable and “harmful to the progress and inspiration of the New Age movement” with the help of her Wicca friend. Unfortunately for the New Age author, who does not believe in karma or reincarnation, by attempting to thwart the success of others, she is setting herself up for a series of lifetimes where she must endure being the target of black magic.

How do you know if you are violating spiritual law in such a way? Simple. If you are attempting to control others in any way, especially if they would reject your request if you had an honest conversation with them, then you are overstepping your bounds and will incur negative karma by utilizing spiritual forces (negative or positive) to sway them to your way of thinking.
