5 Ways To Find Faith in Your Daily Life
It is light in the darkest night. It brings people to their knees. It is symbolic and powerful, yet proof less and criticized. It illuminates life and it wages war. It escapes some and captivates many. It is faith; to some it is doctrine, to others it is fiction.
Today’s definition of faith doesn’t have to relate to religion; it can be trust or belief in something without proof. But in today’s society the invisible creates disbelief. People lack faith in all areas of their lives because they are looking for evidence. They are waiting for the ideal job, the perfect relationship and financial abundance. They are looking for something tangible—and as a result, they are still waiting. When the answer doesn’t fall into their laps they become cynical and they lose faith.
I was riding in the elevator one morning and a gentleman was repeatedly pressing the button for the 5th floor, but it wasn’t lighting up. I kindly told him that I too had pressed the same button and that the light didn’t work. He laughed and said, “Are you sure we will still arrive?”
I said, “I have faith that the elevator will stop on the 5th floor, yes.”
He looked at me long and hard and responded, “Really? I’m not sure I have that much faith. If it doesn’t seem to work it must be broken.” I said, “If we arrive on 5 will you be a believer then?” He said, “No, it takes more evidence than that.”
What a powerful, symbolic statement. He lacked faith that he would arrive at his destination and for him this destination probably related to life itself. How many of you are so jaded by past experiences that you too have lost all faith and wonder if you are even on the right path?
I can relate to losing inspiration and faith. I spent three years working on a business venture that sucked the life out of my very existence, but I believed that I had to endure hardship to find happiness. I had lost hope that I would ever find passion or joy again. But my inner guidance knew better. I finally had to ask myself: Why is it okay to sacrifice even one day of my life in exchange for potential happiness, when I could be happy right now? I finally took a huge leap of faith and scrapped the entire project. I found strength in my inner wisdom, which knew that I deserved more.
What evidence do you need to rediscover faith in something or in yourself? Are you looking for a lightning bolt? Are you waiting for a lottery win? Have you considered asking for what you want or does it seem like too much to hope for? Have you searched your inner knowing to see what the block is to your own success or happiness? Are you able to recognize what you do have in life?
Today, stop and take pleasure in life’s little miracles. Recognize that each day is a gift, and understand that every breath you take is a test of faith. If you need a little reminder, try these tips on how to find faith in your daily life:
- Have Faith in Lessons Learned
First ask yourself, “Where did my faith go?” What triggered the feeling that you are unsupported? It is a past hurt? Is it a “bad” decision? Is fear playing a role? Sometimes fear tells us we can’t have something and then we lose faith because it doesn’t happen. If you can identify the origin, ask yourself what valuable lesson that experience might have taught you and where you may be repeating that same lesson today.
- Affirm
Affirmations are very powerful. Even if you don’t believe the words initially, your body absorbs the meaning cell by cell. Try, “I have faith in myself and the process of life. I am protected and joyful each and every day.”
- Check Your Pancreas
When the pancreas is imbalanced it carries the emotional energy of feeling defeated by life. Make sure you keep your blood sugar in check by eating every 3-4 hours and eliminating sugar. You may need to see a holistic practitioner to create a special diet or rebalance key minerals.
- Look for Signs
Signs can come in all forms. It can be a song that you are meant to hear or a “coincidence” that repeats itself. Be specific about what kind of sign you need to see for an answer. For example, if you need to know whether to take that new job in Florida, ask for a certain number of signs that relate to Florida that can indicate a yes.
- Dream big, expect the best and let go
The more you can imagine for yourself the bigger your life can be. The key is to believe that you are the designer of your destiny. Write out your ideal life like you already have it and then let go, trust and enjoy the ride.

What are the Ascended Masters?
Ascended Masters are souls who have reached a high level of spiritual evolution after overcoming the trials of earthly life and the cycles of reincarnation. This process allowed them to transcend duality and access higher planes of consciousness, from where they act as guides for those seeking to progress on their own spiritual path. They are recognized for their wisdom, compassion, and commitment to the awakening of humanity.
Unlike deities, Ascended Masters were human beings who lived experiences on Earth, learned from them, and achieved enlightenment. This direct connection with the human condition makes them especially understanding and approachable for those who invoke them. Figures such as Jesus (Jeshua), Buddha, Kwan Yin, and Saint Germain are some of the most well-known, and each of them embodies specific qualities like unconditional love, compassion, or energetic transmutation.
Although a definitive number cannot be established regarding how many Ascended Masters exist, the presence of dozens of them is recognized in various spiritual traditions. Ascension is an ever-evolving process, so it is possible that new souls may join this group as they reach a state of enlightenment. Each master has a particular mission and acts as a point of reference for those who resonate with their energy or teachings.

History and Origin of the Concept
The concept of the Ascended Masters has its roots in modern spirituality, particularly in the Theosophical Society founded in the 19th century by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Blavatsky introduced the idea of “Mahatmas” or “Masters of Wisdom,” enlightened beings who had transcended human limitations and worked to guide humanity. This vision laid the foundation for what we know today as the Ascended Masters.
In the 20th century, movements such as “The Open Door” and the teachings of Guy Ballard (founder of the I Am organization) expanded this concept. It was then that names such as Saint Germain, Kwan Yin and El Morya became popular, linking them to the Seven Cosmic Rays and presenting them as active guides in the spiritual process of humanity. These teachings focused on ascension, energetic transmutation and connection with the inner divinity.
Today, the Ascended Masters are part of various spiritual and esoteric currents. Their teachings are seen as practical tools for self-knowledge and expansion of consciousness. Through books, meditations and modern practices, these beings of light continue to inspire millions of people around the world to live in harmony and reconnect with their spiritual essence.
The Life of the Ascended Masters Before Ascending
Before reaching their enlightened state, the Ascended Masters lived as human beings, facing the same trials and challenges as all of us. Throughout multiple incarnations, they experienced suffering, love, learning and spiritual growth. These human experiences were essential to developing the compassion and wisdom that characterize them today.
In their earthly lives, many of them dedicated their existence to serving, teaching and transforming their communities. For example, Jeshua (Jesus) spread unconditional love and forgiveness, while Buddha taught the path to liberation from suffering. These exemplary lives left a legacy of practices and teachings that still inspire those who seek enlightenment today.
By overcoming the limitations of ego and duality, the Masters were able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation. This spiritual evolution brought them to a state of higher consciousness, from where they now guide humanity. Their human experiences allow them to deeply understand our struggles and offer empathetic and practical support.
How Does One Become an Ascended Master?
Becoming an Ascended Master involves a profound process of self-knowledge, purification and spiritual evolution. Through multiple lifetimes, aspirants work on their self-mastery, learning to overcome negative emotions, ego and earthly illusions. This process includes facing accumulated karma and transforming it into positive energy through forgiveness and compassion.
The path to ascension requires practicing virtues such as unconditional love, patience and selfless service. Masters in the ascension process develop the ability to live in harmony with spiritual laws, aligning themselves with their divine purpose. Meditation, introspection and working with higher energies are fundamental practices for this achievement.
Finally, the moment of ascension occurs when a soul reaches such a high vibratory state that it no longer needs to experience the duality of the physical plane. This process marks the end of the cycle of reincarnations and the entrance into a higher plane of consciousness, from where the Masters can guide and assist humanity in its own evolutionary process.
The Mission of the Ascended Masters
The primary mission of the Ascended Masters is to assist humanity in its spiritual evolution. They act as guides and mentors, offering wisdom, inspiration and tools for each person to reach their own divine potential. Through their energy and teachings, they help us overcome our challenges and remember our connection to Source.
In addition, the Ascended Masters work to raise the vibration of the planet and promote peace and harmony among human beings. Their work includes transmuting negative energies, strengthening the collective consciousness and protecting those who seek to walk the spiritual path. Many of them act through the Seven Cosmic Rays, directing specific energies to heal and transform.
On an individual level, the Masters also inspire people to find their purpose and live in alignment with their soul. Whether through meditations, intuitions or signs, they show us how we can transcend our limitations and contribute to the collective well-being. Their mission is to remind us that we are all capable of ascending and living in spiritual fulfillment.
How to Invoke the Energy of the Ascended Masters
Connecting with the Ascended Masters requires a clear intention and an open heart. A simple and effective ritual to invoke their energy is to create a sacred space in your home. Light a white candle, place flowers or crystals, and set a clear intention, such as “I open myself to receive the guidance of the Ascended Masters on my spiritual path.”
For the ritual, sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and take deep breaths. Visualize a golden light enveloping your entire body as you say aloud, “Beloved Ascended Masters, I invoke you with humility and love. Guide my path to peace, wisdom and compassion. Thank you for your divine presence and guidance.” Hold this connection for a few minutes and listen to any messages or sensations you receive.
End the ritual by thanking her for her presence and extinguishing the candle. This ritual can be repeated as needed, always with respect and gratitude. It is important to trust that the Ascended Masters listen and respond, even though their guidance may manifest in subtle ways, such as sudden insights, intuitions or feelings of calm and clarity.
How the Ascended Masters Manifest Themselves
Ascended Masters often manifest in subtle ways, using signals, intuitions or sensations to communicate. You may feel their presence as a surge of peace, an enveloping warmth or a deep sense of love. It is also common for them to manifest through repetitive numbers, songs, dreams or messages that come at key moments.
Occasionally, the Masters may send clear messages during meditation or dreams. For example, you might have visions of vibrant colors, figures of light or even hear specific words or phrases. These manifestations are often loaded with personal meaning and occur when you are receptive and aligned with their energy.
Another way the Masters manifest is through synchronicities in your daily life. You might find a book or message that answers your questions, or feel circumstances aligning to guide you to the next step in your spiritual evolution. The most important thing is to be attentive to these signs, trust their guidance and be grateful for their constant presence on your path.
