An Anam cara who guides your spiritual direction can be your undoing.  They invite you out of constant need to be doing your life situation that leads you into the prison of never enough. Spiritual direction is not about telling you more about something.  Most of us already know more than enough.  Except that the Anam cara will tell you that knowing about something is not real knowledge.  

Nor is spiritual direction about telling you what to do.  It is an invitation from someone inspired (meaning in spirit) who already knows the beauty within themselves and thus can invite it to blossom within you.  The Anam cara trusts and lives this beauty within themselves.  They invite you to trust it and more to the point to live it.

In your day-to-day life situation you can learn to enhance your skill base in many ways.  This assists you in practical ways to achieve your goals.  However, in following any spiritual direction you are invited to learn that less is more.  Your spiritual director or Anam cara knows you are already magnificent beyond anything you can think about yourself.  They know that you are inspiration in form.  They know you are more than enough.  The work of one who offers you spiritual direction is to remind you of this. 

They do not remind you because they believe this is simply a nice idea.  They remind you by their presence.  The work of the spiritual guide is to invite you to allow this beauty within you to flower rather than continue along the same old known way of doing that only gets you deeper in the do-do.

 Spiritual direction points you toward allowing.  This is often experienced as frustrating for anyone intent on getting somewhere.  The A+ personality type, which most of us subscribe to, wants to have the answer right now.  Only spiritual guidance is not something you achieve by doing.  It is realised by seeing in ways that you did not see before.   Spiritual direction comes from one who does not lead you up a blind ally but gets you to connect to vision.

 The spiritual guide watches you without judgement.  They watch as you metaphorically pull up the young seedling of your unique creative potential by the roots.  They watch as you criticise it for not growing or getting somewhere fast enough.  They watch as you criticise it for not being beautiful enough, for not being the right shape.  They watch as you plant it in places where the sun never shines.  They watch as you neglect it in all sorts of ways while you compare it with how others are doing.  Then you wonder where the wonderful flowering of your creative potential has gone.

 An Anam cara who is a spiritual guide invites you to leave the seeding alone.

 They give you directions on how to tend it and how to care for it.  Then they invite you to get out of the way and allow the unique expression within the seedling to flower within you.  They suggest that you don’t compare your flowering with any other bloom.  They suggest you ground yourself and stay in the light.  How each person does this is unique.

 The Anam cara who is a friend of your soul invites you to learn another language.  This language is not the language of go getting.  It is not the language that will make you more successful.  It is not the language of sound bites masking as communication.  The Anam cara teaches you the language of the soul.  This is the language of the

Of

Unlimited

Love.

 

Unlimited here also means unconditional.  This soul language is not the language of self-improvement but the language of opposites and the language of parable, paradox and of fairytales.  It is also the language that invites real communion.

 An Anam cara invites you into the Anam cara Experience.  This is were you become able to source your own spiritual direction.  This is where you are able to access intelligence that is beyond the intellect and the rational.  This is where you learn to tend to the seed potential only you can grow to its full majesty.  You learn to be come the King/Queen of your own magical Kingdom.  Then you begin to flower in ways unimagined and you too become an invitation to beauty.

 At the Anamcara Experience we invite you to tend the flowering that is always being expressed within you.  This flowering never stops because it is essentially who you are.  It is that you have forgotten how to source this beauty within.  At the Anam cara Experience we invite you to tune into this unending Source Of Unlimited Love.  We invite you into soul friendship.
