Losing Things: Spiritual Meaning
It is about an energetic misalignment
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.” – Louisa May Alcott
Losing things can mean that my internal energy is out of alignment.
My spirit is asking for attention in the form of losing possessions.
When I am internally scattered, all the physical items and objects around me start to sense it.
If I am not balanced with my surroundings the energy seeks to balance itself which may appear as losses.
Spotting this pattern enables me to get sharper on the more profound spiritual change that must occur in order for me to be back along my path.
It is about slowing down
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
A universe in which I lose literally everything can be the same world as one that yearns for me to take my time.
This rushing from one thing to the next, and losing sight of what really matters.
The actual pace of the world exhibits itself in losable things.
The lesson is simple yet profound: relax, breathe and come into the moment.
My mind is not in the present when I am rushing.
I feel harried and out of rhythm with the world around me. I lose things; like my keys or something greater.
What I learn from spirituality is that the more mindful and present in each moment, the more aligned with life if you fall back into it.
Constantly loosing things forces me to slow and deliberate in a way that actually clears your mind among other earthly belongings.
Losing stuff was the plaintive wail of my spirit asking me to come back and be present. And discovered that by stepping back and surrendering to the moment, increased synchronicity with life occurred.
What started as slowing down to find something somewhere turned into ‘a way of being’ in my everyday living.
It is about spiritual clutter
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10
The world on the outside is merely a mirror of within.
Whenever I lose things, my spiritual space is always cluttered.
This clutter takes form in my physical world as mess and junk.
For me, emotional distress always corresponded with a general sort of losing things.
The physical clutter around me was a symbol of the inner chaos I had been living in.
Spirituality calls me to create clarity within myself.
As I clear the emotional and spiritual clutter, so too my physical space is more organized.
As such, less stuff goes missing in there.
Intuition
“He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:3
Misplacing items can be a sign I need to reconnect with my intuition.
My constant losing of physical objects communicates that maybe I have also lost my way with some intuitive knowing.
If I am losing things, it could point to out of touch with my inner wisdom.
I have found that the better attuned I am, apparently the less I lose.
My mind takes a back seat and my intuition become the predominant voice.
This results in me being able to enjoy where I am without constantly think about 5 steps ahead.
So the intuition reconnecting is really trust, self and inner awareness which means deep listening.
This allows me to be more in sync with the universe and lose less.
Karma
“Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” – Galatians 6:7
Karma is a huge factor in why I keep losing things.
Actions have reactions, and that to lose things is part of a karma.
When I look back on my spiritual journey, there are certain losses that were not simply due to accident.
It was so ingrained with karmic lessons I had to learn.
The frustration and inconvenience were not punishments they were an opportunity for me to look at my choices and figure out how i had gotten off the path.
Learning about karma has given me some understanding as to how these cycles come into play.
It leads me to the solution by allowing my actions to be love, compassion and higher conscious.
It is about spiritual awareness
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.” – Matthew 13:44
I know that when I lose things, it makes me focus on the immeasurable treasure within.
Loss teaches me that things have value up to a certain point but true worth can only be found in spirit.
This realization goes far beyond objects and allows me to dedicate my focus onto what is importan.
The journey of being a spiritual individual.
Unresolved Emotions
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters.” – Proverbs 20:5
I have learned that when I lose things, it can be a “symptom” of unprocessed emotions.
If I have baggage in my heart, that mess will present itself to me somehow.
My emotional stress is reflected in the physical act of losing things and thus inhibiting my mental clarity.
Trust
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” – Corrie Ten Boom
To be honest, for many of us the difficulty in losing things is a spiritual test on our trust.
In these times of loss, I am being called to have faith and let go.
When stuff gets lost I am afforded another opportunity to learn the lesson of release,
I have meditated on how with this loss come tests of my faith as I get caught in haste.
It challenges me to stop, breathe and have faith that things are working.
Simplicity
“Simplicity makes me happy.” – Alicia Keys
Losing things also calls me to delight in the simplicity of life.
Things that I have lost is a notice to how materialistic our world has become.
It is the time to learn detachment from stripping away the unnecessary.
I have to bring myself back simplicity.
I have the tendency to complicate my life with too much.
Too many things, thoughts and worries.
Losing stuff is simply the way to simplicity.
Simplicity allows clarity and the peace that only a clear path can provide.
Spiritual simplicity is an allotment of space for that which matters.
Having losses of any scope is just the universe’s way to steer me back into this simplicity.
I need to divest myself of the attachments that hold me back, moving more deliberately and purposefully through life.
