“The Begining”
If you’re just starting out on your spiritual journey.
The spiritual journey has different phases.
Everyone’s spiritual journey is unique.
The process can easily seem overwhelming and you may think it always needs some exotic place, event, or even after a dramatic event
But actually, It doesn’t have to be so hard from
the spiritual journey to the subsequent “spiritual awakening”
” The Dangers “
In a world where there are as many different spiritual paths to enlightenment as there are people to ask about it. Not only that, but most people believe very strongly that their way is “the” right way to go. The process can easily feel overwhelming rather confusing at times.
So how do you sort through all of the information out there and find the spiritual journey that’s right for you?
Well, there are a few key points to consider,
First, ask these questions yourself before you begin.
Are you trying to figure out how to find peace within yourself?
Reduce stress and operate at a higher level in your life?
or go even deeper
Are you trying to reach a state of total nirvana, eternal peace, happiness perched in meditation, etc.?
Do I Have To Be Religious To Be Spiritual?
Another concept that often gets thrown into the mix is the idea of religion. Many people think that spirituality and religion are intertwined.
Whether you adhere to a specific religion, adopt some beliefs from different religions, or cringe at the word God, you can still live a deeply spiritual life.
There are some commonalities.
Here’s what you need to know!
That can help you and make things easier.
” Follow Your Heart “
Finding the Right Spiritual Community for You.

“spiritual journey”
The first point to clarify is what, exactly, you mean when you talk about a spiritual journey.
To some people, a spiritual journey is a specific religious experience or rite of passage, while to others it’s an other-worldly, out-of-body experience, or even a hallucinogenic trip with drugs like ayahuasca or LSD. To that end, this section is aimed to help you listen to your intuition/inner knowing as you build your spiritual practice.
Life is our journey,
and spirituality is something that we each cultivate within ourselves gradually, over time.
Regular spiritual practice is key for most people to break out of unhealthy ego patterns and ignorance.
By committing yourself to regular meditation and other spiritual practices, you can enrich your life and deal with adversity better.
The beautiful thing about spiritual truths is that they lead us towards certain morals. The more you develop on the spiritual path, the more it is only natural to discover your own spiritual morality.
” Healing Mental Wounds “
For many, the only real healing that can address their wounds is spiritual healing from the trauma they had faced in the past, wounding, self-worth issues, scarcity fears, fears of loneliness, and many others that cause a lot of suffering than people realize.
Healing things like trauma and abuse is critical. Types of pain cause people and the people in their lives immense suffering.
Here are simple ways to set yourself up for spiritual awakening:
” Making Space “
Start by making room! Clear your space of the stuff that you no longer need, the stuff that merely serves as a distraction from your life. And while decluttering your physical space is important, it’s also important to declutter your mind. Take time every day to sit a bit in silence and solitude.
” Take The Time To Step Back “
One of the best ways to increase your level of awareness is to take the time to step back through the idea.
Allow your thoughts to pass without judgment, and slowly watch your mind clear of mental clutter. Meditation allows you to relax into what is presently present —and what is always true for all of us is that there is love, no fear—and offers you a greater connection There are many different breathing exercises you can use to do this, but the primary idea behind each of them is to take yourself out of the details of your daily drama.
” Examine your beliefs “
Be conscious of and intentional about what you believe. Understand the energy that you’re putting not only into your world but into the world at large. And be honest—are your beliefs supporting your spiritual growth? Very often, a spiritual awakening requires letting go of beliefs we’ve held for our entire lives. But that’s the thing about awakening: You have to realize first that you have been sleeping.
” Expand your mind “
Explore new ideas and differing beliefs. Read books and attend lectures and have conversations with people who have lived different lives. An awakening occurs when you have learned something new—when you have, quite literally, “woken” your mind and your spirit from a slumber you perhaps didn’t even know you were in. When you expand your mind to allow in new ideas, beliefs, and possibilities, you increase the opportunity to wake up to a life experience you never knew was possible. You become more receptive to new ideas and ways of looking at the world. This receptivity will prepare you for higher-level understandings and leaps of consciousness.
” Go outside “
There is energy and spirit and magic in the outdoors. So many of us spend our time cooped up inside, sitting behind computer screens, or with our mobile phones or virtual world not truly connected to the real world (or to ourselves). Take time to reconnect with nature—even in the big cities, you can find trees to touch, gardens to admire, fresh air to breathe. Try not to distract yourself with your phone or even another person’s company. Give yourself the quiet and the solitude and the presence that comes with being outside. You may be surprised by what comes alive within you.
” Take care of yourself “
Eating healthy and staying active is a great way to stay connected to yourself and your higher power, whether that’s God, the Universe, or simply your own internal guidance system. When we allow our internal systems (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) to become clogged and bogged down by lethargy and unnatural substances, we block the opportunity for spiritual growth and eventual awakening. Keep your body clean and clear by feeding it well and moving it often, and prepare to receive the messages you seek.
” Follow Your Joy”
Spirituality, at its core, comes down to living a vibrant, passionate, and joyful life.
Every spiritual technique, book, or philosophy, ultimately comes down to helping you experience more love, and to begin sharing that love with the world around you.
” Find a Path That Resonates With You “
Setting your goals and understanding the different options available will help you to find the path that resonates with you.
The first is that your spiritual journey is an individual experience. There is no right or wrong way for you to become more spiritual, and the path you choose should be unique to you.
” Learn to let go “
The reality is you can’t force a spiritual awakening. Anyone can have one—and following tips like the ones in this article—will help you in that effort, but there’s no prescription for enlightenment. Do what you can, then let it go. If you’re attached to the idea of having a spiritual awakening (and attached to your idea of what a spiritual awakening looks like), you’re far less likely to experience one. Know that you are on the perfect path for yourself.
Once you have established a practice, it’s helpful to have some guidance in terms of deepening into it. For instance, meditation is meditation, but you can go into all kinds of different depths with it depending on your focus. This and other tools are suggested to help you create space for whatever chooses to arise within you.
“spiritual awakening”
You can connect with your spirituality and awaken to the lessons that are meant for you—over and over again throughout your life—from the comfort of your own home. NO, You’re not going crazy, you’re just waking up! That’s the overwhelming feeling of a Spiritual Awakening brings comfort and awareness. This is the ultimate promise of any spiritual system. You begin to quiet your mind, understand what’s truly important, and live from the highest version of yourself.
Keep in mind that a spiritual awakening is not necessarily a one-time thing. The spiritual path is a lifelong journey of growth. Continue to follow the steps above and you will undoubtedly find yourself “waking up” to new awareness and deeper consciousness over and over again.
” Another drop of water in the sea “
Lastly, the aim of spirituality isn’t to separate yourself from the world or the universe. We are all one . While many people go through a period of inner exploration that requires at least some degree of isolation, ultimately the biggest challenge is to incorporate your spiritual principles into the modern world.
Eventually, our inner work takes us towards engaging with the world. Obviously, we are always engaged with life somehow, but many of you are going to be called to take on larger roles in helping to shape and shift society towards compassion, loving-kindness, and joy, and you will begin to see a new world unfold before you.
Best Wishes ~
Have a Wonderful journey
