When we were children, it was easy to know how to become one with yourself. We were very familiar and comfortable with our thoughts, hopes, wishes, and dreams, especially between the ages of zero and seven when we are developing and learning how to connect with the subconscious mind. Without knowing it, we were confident in who we were. We had imaginary friends and enjoyed our make-believe. These were all the trappings of childhood.
It is at this time of our lives when our personalities develop and we come online. We may be young, but it is also the time that we align with our spiritual purpose. As we get older we lose sight of our life purpose and focus. Our family and society becomes a larger influence. The definition of who we are changes to align better with what others think we should be. This is where we start to redefine our future self.
The act of becoming one with yourself is more than just ‘getting to know yourself’. It’s a complete immersion into who you are from a fundamental and foundational sense. It’s a love of yourself and being comfortable in your own skin. Learning how to become one with yourself is a journey through the heart, mind, body, and soul. It’s a blending, converging, and an acceptance of yourself.
Discovering how to become one with yourself requires introspection and self-awareness. Reconnecting with yourself and combining how you feel about yourself with your true purpose. Ask yourself, “What is my mission in life?” and you’ll be closer to knowing how to become one with yourself.
Learning how to become one with yourself is a new course correction. Typical of a “quarter-life crisis” or a “mid-life crisis”, disconnected from oneself. You may have spent several years busy, but not connected. Because of this type of blind activity you may be busy, but not productive or fulfilled. If you find yourself hitting a wall career-wise, long-term partnerships, financially, or otherwise, then stopping to learn how to become one with yourself is a top priority. A spiritual reconnection is in order.
What Does It Mean To Be One With Yourself?
Becoming one with yourself means that you are completely comfortable as you are. It is beyond being comfortable in your own skin. You are your own best friend and you can provide yourself the best advice. Many people don’t trust their instincts, but when you learn how to become one with yourself, your instincts are spot on! Decision-making becomes easier and in general life becomes smoother.
Many mistake the practice of becoming one with yourself as a mental exercise. This is dead wrong. In fact, it is about a whole body experience and getting in touch with your emotions and feelings. Your heart and gut play a large role in learning how to become one with yourself. Spend time practicing listening to your inner dialogue (inner child and higher self) as this will later serve you well.
If you feel you are misaligned, then the spiritual discipline of how to become one with yourself requires patience and time. The process of becoming more self-aware, which requires learning your best traits along with your biggest flaws. Putting a spotlight on these areas of your personality and life can only help you improve as a spiritual citizen.
It is only when you have fully embraced who are you as a person that you become one with yourself. Burdens will dissipate. You will feel lighter. Laughter will become more common in your life. And in general you will feel like a different person. But ultimately you will feel renewed and rejuvenated. You will know who you are once again.
The external world (the outer world) will change along with you. This follows the Law of Correspondence (“as within, so without”). So as you change and become more of who you are, your world will change and become more of what you expect it to be: pleasurable with happy and welcomed surprises. You’ll meet people who align with your spirit and character. Overall, you’ll feel brand new and familiar all at the same time and by then you’ll truly know how to appreciate life.
How To Become One With Your Body
While you learn how to become one with yourself you may also want to focus on becoming one with your body. Over the years, you may have grown disconnected from your body. It may over time feel foreign. If you feel “out of your body”, then you might also feel out of place wherever you go. This is a strange feeling and doesn’t allow you to feel complete, thus interrupting your learning how to become one with yourself.
Often if you feel disconnected from your body, it means you need to ground yourself. There are several grounding practices that exist. One is a meditative exercise of connecting with the earth. Eating meating and physical sex is also another way of grounding yourself. However, if you would like to become one with your body using your mental faculties, you’ll need to quiet your mind and learn how to feel at peace.
Take a hot and soothing bath. Get in touch with your body by caressing it or massaging yourself. Start with the easy to reach areas and then move on to the more sensitive regions. Close your eyes and take deep breaths and imagine a healing cloud of air floating into your lungs and reestablishing a connection with your body. As you breathe, imagine your cells being rejuvenated.
Finally, in the last step, learn to appreciate your body. There is a reason they say that, “Your body is your temple.” Find all your favorite physical activities that connect you with your body. If you like massages or going for a walk or run, then do this as much as possible. The important part is to spend the time. Don’t ignore your body. It needs to be nurtured as much as you do. Make it happen. Treat it the way you want to be treated.
