This is a very sound process that all need to contemplate and implement, perhaps through maintaining an introspection diary. There are steps here and this gives the diary purpose.
This needs to also be developed into a series of core questions that are addressed perhaps once per week. i would fit well into a weekly meditation session that you set aside for inside work. similar things should and could be done on other days but a weekly focused session is a good practise.
Read slowly and then consider how you may use this to guide your own intentions..

7 Tips For Spiritual Evolution That Your Life Can Depend On
http://humansarefree.com/2015/07/7-tips-for-spiritual-evolution-that.html#more
We all have an innate desire to grow and to become the very best
expressions of ourselves. This is why we spend our lives learning,
evolving, and striving to align with a way of life that both supports
and fulfills us.
To achieve this requires that we transform
from where we are now to where we want to be. Growth, progress, and even
our very survival depend on us transforming our lives and our world for
the better.
Today, the world is changing fast. Technology
continues to advance at speeds that are increasingly difficult to keep
up with. Things seem in a constant state of fluctuation. Jobs change,
relationships end and new ones begin.
There may be times of
financial difficulties or challenges at work. With greater connectivity,
faster speed of change, and more daily pressures than ever before, we
have become a society of people that are more stressed, depressed, sick,
and dissatisfied in life. What happened to creating a life that
supports and fulfills us?
Life in our modern world is in a state of change more
often than not. But through change may come transformation. Many people
quote the famous words of Gandhi “Be the change you want to see.”
This
is very true, but there is more to it than that! To seize the
opportunities that change presents us with requires that we first
understand the process of transformation, how to harness the tides of
change and direct their course.
So, how do we take advantage of
the opportunities for transformation that are available to us now? What
are the steps we can take that our lives and our world can depend on to
get us to a better future?
Have you ever experienced drastic
change in your life, only to later find yourself repeating the same old
pattern, or meeting the same obstacles once again? This can be very
frustrating and baffling to us, and it keeps us feeling as if we are
running in a hamster wheel or repeating “Groundhog’s Day” over and over.
We
thought we were through with that already, but what the the ancient
traditions of Alchemy reveal is that we were maybe only half-way through
the transformational process and then got stuck.
Only when we
have advanced through all seven of these stages of Alchemy successfully,
will our transformation be fully integrated and stabilized. When we do,
that is when we will finally be able to truly move on from those old
obstacles, without fear of having to repeat the same ones again.
So what are these 7 essential steps for spiritual growth that your life can depend on?
1) Breakdown & breakthrough
The
first step to transformation happens when a major event or trauma
occurs in your life. Losing a job, ending a deep relationship, having a
big argument, experiencing financial hardship, getting into an accident
or sudden illness, or a major failure at work are all examples of
potential breakdown points.
These kinds of events shake the
foundation of your life and thus becomes the catalyst for your
transformation. Recognize that the challenges you face are a sign that
something in you or your way of operating needs to change. Face the
challenge head on and know that this is ultimately an opportunity for
growth into a better expression of yourself.
2) Dissolve & purify
Change
can be scary. Fear, anger, confusion and possibly even a mental or
emotional paralysis may come up for you or others affected by the
changes. Allow for some time to process the emotions that accompany any
challenging event. See this stage as an opportunity to connect more
deeply with your inner soul and that of others.
Changes can be
traumatic, and both the body and the psyche need time to process and
release this. By providing this time for inner work, you can began to
purify and eliminate any impurities or imbalances, thus creating space
for something new to begin to manifest.
3) Separate and identify
Once
the emotions are released and begin to settle, you can then start to
separate out what exactly was released. This is the time to identify the
aspects of your life or modes of operating that you want to keep,
versus those that you want to discard.
For example, in the case
of an illness, this could mean maintaining a healthy diet and exercise
regimen, while eliminating toxic thoughts, habits or people from your
life. Now is also the time to really begin to bring your life vision
into greater clarity and integrity.
4) Recombine & harmonize
After
eliminating some of the imbalances or problem areas from the previous
steps, it is now time to recombine the positive and beneficial aspects
back together into a new pattern.
This stage is about bringing the best aspects of yourself and your
life back together into balance and harmony. This nourishes us and helps
us start feeling back to ourselves again, only now more elevated.
Here
you also begin to formulate or clarify a new vision of what you would
like your life to look like, or what would be the ideal outcome of this
whole experience. This new refined vision becomes your guiding light for
the rest of the transformational process.
The new vision or goal should motivate you at a deep level and inspire you to do the work that is necessary to attain it.
5) Mature your vision
Create
a plan for bringing your vision into full fruition. Take action! Begin
applying the steps of your plan and put your transformations to the
test. As you do you will get feedback from the world that will reflect
to you whether you are on course or need further purification.
If
further clean-up is needed, which usually is, then continue to refine
the vision and plan by taking it through more cycles of separation and
recombination, until it is brought into a state of stability,
integration, and produces the desired results.
At this stage,
also realize that the things that still require purification may be more
subtle than before. They will also likely lie hidden within more deeply
rooted beliefs and assumptions about “the way things are” or “who I
am”.
Further soul-searching and vision questing is needed here. A
willingness to sacrifice false assumptions or attachments to certain
outmoded identities and ways of being is also required.
6) Raise your vibration
Once
the final impurities have been rooted out at deeper levels from the
previous steps, it is now time to raise things up to Peak State and
optimize their potential. This means that we must raise the energetic
vibration and Consciousness level that is embodied within the new
purified self.
As we do, we will also be able to produce results that will have maximum impact as we manifest our vision.
To
begin to raise your vibration and shift into a higher state of
consciousness you can use tools such as meditation, active imagination,
visualization, focused breathing techniques, sensory stimulation, and
listening to metamusic with brainwave entrainment frequencies, to name a
few.
The goal here is to infuse higher states of Consciousness
into ourselves, our manifestations, and our world. To do so, first we
must access that higher state of Consciousness, then we must bring its
wisdom and illumination down into practical applications and tangible
form.
7) Crystallize
The
final step is about crystallizing your transformed self into optimum
potential. As things crystallize, your life and your work become things
of greater beauty, integrity and wholeness.
Synchronicities, a
sense of fulfillment, and a bubbling up of excitement are signs that you
are on the right track to getting to this point. Crystallization is
where Peak State is finally actualized and your Vision is successfully
manifested in its ultimate form. Here you reap the rewards and
congratulate yourself for a job well done.
Nature is constantly
driving evolution onwards and upwards. We should never think we are so
good that we can’t get better. So even while we “arrive” in one area of
life, there are other areas that will be identified to transform next,
and there will always be more mountains to climb. And so as one cycle
ends, the next begins.
By recognizing these stages at any given
time and applying appropriate methods to accelerate each stage, we
continue to transform in new ways. Only now, being wiser and more
experienced at how to accelerate our evolution, we can step into the
drivers seat of change.
What to take away from this
Anytime
we want to make a change, achieve a new goal, eliminate a bad habit, or
develop a new skill or gift, we must go through these same seven stages
to get to a place of mastery in that new area. Often people don’t
realize there are seven stages to transformation, and so they tend to
fall short of truly mastering and fully integrating a new change.
By
understanding what all seven stages are, how to identify where we are
at in the process, and what is needed to progress from one stage to the
next, we can more powerfully accelerate our progress to mastery in any
area of life.
In our today’s world we need to individually and
collectively make a quantum leap of change. If you are someone who is
dedicated to transformation, then I invite you to join our collective of
conscious change-agents, and we’ll help you learn the secrets to
harnessing your transformational process, so you can drive it forward to
the next level, every time.
