Many people ask about having a teacher on one’s spiritual path. Well, what is a spiritual teacher? What would this relationship look like? Would it be the best choice for you?

Many people have asked me my opinion on having a teacher on a spiritual path. Like everything else in life, there are only points of view as to whether this choice is the best one for you. All I can do is reflect my personal experience regarding having a teacher and what I feel the benefits and problems are of engaging in this kind of relationship.

How are you judging and qualifying what is going on in your life right now? Choosing to see the “what is” - is key in experiencing inner peace. Will you choose to attach to your judgment and lose your clarity, or detach and have peace, objectivity and freedom?

When life is going well and events in our lives are progressing according to plan, spirituality is more often than not, put to the wayside. However, faced with challenging situations like illness, death, divorce, unfulfilling jobs, and financial issues we seek consolation, so that we can find peace amongst chaos. But seeing life in this way can only bring us unhappiness as we are always moving in-between polarities. In truth, our spiritual path is our life and the way we choose to perceive it is what makes the difference between our happiness and pain.
