How Symbolism Helps Us on a Mindful Path

On this episode of the Flirting with Enlightenment podcast, we dive into symbolism and how it speaks to all of us on a unique, individual level. We talk about how symbols can induce a kind of heightened level of consciousness as we tune into what they mean to us, the world, or the universe in a broader context. This is how we connect with symbolism in a creative way - helping our mind engage with our intuitive side and imagination.There are two core ways people use symbols, whether they realize it or not:As inspiration to raise consciousness and vibrationAs a way to connect with the energetic vibration of it to energize us in a physical waySymbols also help fill in the communication gaps between cultures, offering everyone a way relate to a common concept in a meaningful way, without having to put it into specific words.Some examples of this is include “OM”, the vibrational power of the universe that is depicted as an image and a sound. Another example is the chakras, depicted as “wheels of moving energy” and differentiated by their corresponding colors.
