The spiritual path is the most beautiful path you can embark upon – yet it is also the most demanding. Developing your spiritual nature requires effort, dedication and sincerity. It brings out the best in you – gives you courage to overcome adversity, heal conditions in your life and brings talents and abilities to their fullest bloom. Walking the spiritual path helps you to gradually unveil the mysteries of life so you understand your place in the divine plan.
What are the Seven Spiritual Arts? And why are they important in your life and spiritual development? These are seven facets of the spiritual life that are indispensable in your unfoldment. The spiritual path is a like a jewel of many facets. Each facet must be developed to succeed in your spiritual journey. Together they make you a well-rounded individual.
THE AURA
The aura and spiritual energy are essential because it is in your aura that you forge your spiritual mettle. it is through your aura that you generate the power to accomplish anything and everything in life.
There are two basic ways to develop your aura. One is with every good word, thought, act and deed. The other is through meditation. Both ways are essential in the spiritual development process. In the classes there is great emphasis on meditation and application.
HEALING
The second spiritual art is Healing. What is healing? In a word, change. Changing one condition into another. This is the art of spiritual transformation. All of us need healing at one point or another. By understanding the principle of healing you are discovering the keys to healthy living in all facets of life.
KARMA AND REINCARNATION
The third spiritual art is karma and reincarnation. We all come to this earth with unfinished business – the karma, good and bad, we have generated in past lives and come to this life to work through. No matter what other good we do in this life, we cannot reach the spiritual pinnacle without facing and resolving our karma. And understanding the process of reincarnation is essential as it takes many lives to master the lessons of life.
CONSCIOUSNESS
The fourth spiritual art is consciousness. In this study there is special emphasis on understanding the spiritual dimensions of the mind. The mind is the navigator to the soul. An enlightened mind leads to an enlightened soul. By understanding the true source of all thining you can better tune into divine guidance and receive greater creative inspiration.
SPIRITUAL LIVING
The fifth spiritual art is an important study called “The Spiritual Keys of Living”. The east Indians call this study Karma yoga – the law of right action.
This is about understanding how the heart chakra, or Hermetic Center, works. The Hermetic center is your action center and is the nucleus of your outer world activities. As you can imagine it is a busy center. The goal is to bring this center in alignment with your spiritual purpose.
The key to this center is application. Metaphysics is really a way of life. In order to grow spiritually you must employ the laws of metaphysics into everyday life. You must LIVE truth for truth to live in you.
THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY
The sixth spiritual art is the magnificent study of the spiritual hierarchy – and the understanding of your potential clairvoyant powers.
This spiritual art teaches that you ar never alone in your spiritual journey. Your spiritual unfoldment is a cooperative process with the divine. I know personally, that I could not do what I do without the constant support of the Holy Ones. It can be hard to realize just how much our life is in god’s hands and how much loving, unseen help we receive on a daily basis.
YOUR SPIRITUAL ASCENT
And finally the seventh spiritual art is understanding the grand process of evolution itself – your spiritual ascent. This study steps back and looks at the big picture of your spiritual growth It explores how you are evolving through the spiritual planes and what are the steps of spiritual attainment and what is the ultimate purpose of evolution. By keeping the big picture in mind you will never lose the forest for the trees.
This study also helps you with discernment – understanding the potential pitfalls on the path so you can better evaluate the true from the false as not everything that has a spiritual label is in fact spiritual
Together these seven spiritual arts give you a tremendous spiritual foundation. They make you a true metaphysician and advance you far on the road to spiritual maturity and enlightenment.
In closing, I urge you to make metaphysics a great part of your life. These principles take time to fully blossom in you. Make spiritual truth a living part of you and your life will be blessed in the most beautiful and wondrous ways. Armed with such knowledge you have the tools to succeed in your spiritual quest.
I wish you God’s blessings in all you do.

“In times of stress, worry, fear, sadness or grief one of the most helpful energies of all is the deep purple ray of Spiritual Peace. This ray can reach deep within to soothe and calm your soul. There may be impulses to act rashly; this ray can put you in a place of serenity where you will see things more clearly.”
Today is a powerful opportunity to choose Peace. By meditating with the purple ray of Peace you align yourself with the consciousness of Peace, enabling you to think, speak, and act in a Divine manner. If there is difficulty in your life, choose peace. If there is stress, choose peace. If there is conflict, choose peace. You are capable of embodying the peace you are searching for.
Prayer for Peace
“Down-ray the deep purple ray of Peace into my heart to give rest to my soul and to touch into all aspects of my being,
raising my consciousness into a state of harmony and peace.”
In divine light,
Barbara Y. Martin

From Barbara Martin’s first book, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life :
“Deep purple is the ray of light to call on for divine peace. The deep purple ray is essential for quieting the mind and emotions. This ray offers one of the best ways to help you release the stress and strain of the world and to get into a calm state of being. It releases any sense of burden or heavy-heartedness.”
The deep purple ray helps us to align with the peace of God. As Barbara says, “This is the energy to call upon to bring you into the divine stillness, the spiritual silence.”
Meditate with the deep purple ray for at least 5 minuets a day this week. Feel its soothing, calm nature illuminate all aspects of your life, bringing peace to all of your worldly affairs. Then as you go about your day, gift the world the greatest gift of all ~ your personal peace.

“Love connects us to each other, to creation, and to God. Along with Divine Mind, Divine Love is the most powerful primary force in the universe. It emanates directly from the heart of God. Divine Love is the bond that holds all creation together. It’s the heartbeat of life itself.”
~Barbara Y. Martin & Dimitri Moraitis, from Change Your Aura, Change Your Life

With all the challenges and activities of life, it can be easy to forget that each step you take IS your spiritual path. It can become habitual to feel that you are on a spiritual merry-go-round, pursuing the path but somehow not getting where you need to be. It is at these times that you need to stop, take a breath, and reevaluate where you are in your spiritual journey.
Your Spiritual Ascent is a miraculous journey. It represents the blossoming of your soul, the unfolding of the spiritual powers latent within you. Earth is a schoolhouse and you are here to grow and serve the divine plan. In this school there are definite grades and levels. Right now you are in the process of growing through the spiritual planes. These planes are actual dimensions of life and consciousness that you have to embody and master if you are to win the crown of life, the culminating achievement in your earthly journey.
In the esoteric work, these spiritual planes are called the astral worlds. The astral worlds are the dimensions of life you go to when you pass from this life through the portal called death. These dimensions are magnificent, but they are not just for the day when you are finished with your earthly life. These dimensions are part of you right now. You receive help and support from the astral planes. As you earn spiritual light, you grow through these realms while you are right here in physical life. This is the essence of your spiritual ascent.
There are seven of these astral dimensions that you are evolving through. Eventually you will finish with the astral planes altogether and step into the next dimension of life known as the heaven worlds of Spiritual Etheria.
Your passport to the spiritual worlds is the Divine Light you earn. The more spiritual power you earn the higher in consciousness you can climb and the greater your spiritual ascent through the astral planes. It’s a wondrous journey.
How do you help in your spiritual ascent? Is there a way to quicken this process? The answer is straight forward: there is no shortcut to spiritual enlightenment, but by putting your hands to the plough and applying yourself, you can accelerate the process, right now.
The key to your spiritual ascent is the Divine Light. Do all that you can to earn light. Through every good word, thought, act and deed you are earning light. Your efforts do add up! In all your choices and decisions, look to the best course of action regardless of personal feelings. Be willing to face the challenges of life head on. These tests are the very opportunity to help you grow and mature. And as you master these challenges, you are building your spiritual power.
The other way you earn spiritual light and quicken your spiritual steps is through meditation. By meditating regularly, you are giving yourself time to commune with the Divine and receive the gifts of Spirit. There are some who say they are too busy to meditate or say they do not know how to meditate. This is like saying you have no time for God or don’t know how to receive from God. Of course you do! It’s all a matter of choice.
Through every sincere effort you are growing and unfolding your spiritual power. Put God first in all you do and watch your life blossom.
In Divine Light and Love,
Barbara Y. Martin

Today we present the tenth and final Key in our Ten Keys to Success in Spiritual Growth series. Now that all 10 Keys have been gifted to you, remember to revisit them often. A fantastic exercise is to take one key a week and meditate daily upon its wisdom. Journaling can be very beneficial to help document your progress. Write down insights, feelings, thoughts, memories, hunches and intuitions. This is a fantastic opportunity to be creative – write, paint, dance, sing, cook, hike, etc – and invite the Divine into your daily life.
Tenth Key: DIVINE LOVE
The tenth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Divine Love. In your quest of spiritual development the expression of of love and compassion is paramount. Love is the great divine unifier of life; love holds creation together.
When you are in your spiritual love flow, you are in the oneness and goodness of life. To build your love flow, you need to let go of selfish actions and behaviors, and embrace your higher nature. You are an immortal, spiritual being. It is your birthright to experience, express, and manifest love in all areas and arenas.
As you slowly unite your heart and mind with God, your thoughts become God thoughts and your actions become God actions. With dedication and practice it becomes easy and natural to learn to trust these God thoughts and feelings when they come to you. Opening to the gift of loving co-creation with the Divine is instrumental to your spiritual success.
Exercise: To enhance your experience with Divine Love mditate with the Fuchsia Pink Ray of Healing and Restorative Love.
Ninth Key: DYNAMIC ACTION
The ninth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Dynamic Action. Dynamic action is divine inspiration made manifest.
All creation exists through the law of dynamic action. Everything in this universe and beyond -from a blade of grass, to a train, to the milky way- is the product of divine inspiration given life. Dynamic action brings in vigor and vitality necessary to bring our thoughts, desires, and dreams into being. You can desire the spiritual life, but if you are not putting that desire into action you will not get the benefit. Your spiritual growth begins as a longing. That longing must be ACTED upon to be fulfilled.
Exercise: Meditate with the Golden Ray of Wisdom Light to uplift and motivate you to Dynamic Action
Eighth Key: CONFIDENCE
The eighth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Confidence. Confidence says you know you are a child of God.
When we invite the self-assurance of divine purpose and guidance into our hearts a deep peace descends upon us and we experience the euphoria of working hand in had with God .
When you work with God, how can you not but succeed?
To maintain steady confidence you need to include God in everything you do. God is with you while you cook, during traffic, at your business meeting, while you talk with your children, in line at the DMV – God is always there, and in everything you do. It’s your cooperation with this divine process that unlocks the secret of confidence.
Exercise: To strengthen your confidence meditate with the Silver Ray of Divine Intelligence and Guidance
