In the hustle and bustle of every day, it’s easy to get lost in the misconception that you can’t be spiritual. The truth is that it’s easier now than ever to get in touch with our inner selves. We have access to knowledge today that our parents and grandparents could have only dreamed of. If you are ready to take the first steps toward becoming a better physical, mental, and spiritual version of yourself, keep reading for a few mile markers you may wish to pass along the way.
Soul Sourcing
Soul sourcing is the process of receiving guidance and clarity. Sydney Campos offers soul sourcing sessions that can help strengthen your connection and intuitive abilities. You can look at it as a mind and body tune-up that will brighten your soul and clear out the obstacles put in your way.
Yoga
Yoga and meditation are one and the same for many practitioners. This ancient practice can help you clear the clutter of your mind while aligning your inner energy. To get started, decide whether you would like to attend classes or learn at home using videos, DVDs, or virtual instructors.
One of the most spiritual aspects of starting a yoga practice is that you can do it with others on the same path. You are not competing with anyone for anything, and you all have the same goal, which is physical and spiritual enlightenment.
Nutrition
Our minds, bodies, and souls are intricately interconnected. And we know that the healthier our bodies are, the more connected we are to our intellectual and spiritual sides. For a truly spiritual existence, learn how to eat whole and healthy foods, take cleansing supplements, and give your body what it needs to fight free radicals, detoxify, and improve your immune system from the inside out.
Solitude
Solitude is quite literally the simplest thing we can do to remove the influences of the world around us. When we take the time to be alone, our mind and body can refresh. We realize that the world continues to revolve when we do not play an active part in it. We are no longer busy and do not have to meet anyone’s expectations.
Perhaps most importantly, as Becoming Minimalist’s Joshua Becker asserts, solitude gives us a unique opportunity to hear and listen to our hearts. This is crucial when you are on a spiritual journey because it is your heart that must take precedence over your mind.
Travel
Given the state of the world, travel may not be the most easily attainable goal at the moment. But rest assured that the pandemic will one day end, borders will open, and the world will once again be at your beck and call. When the time comes, make plans to travel, preferably alone, or with others walking the same path.
Going to places you’ve never been helps you truly realize how small you are in the grand scheme of the world. It will also push you to take a look at how other cultures approach everything from day-to-day life to their own religion and spirituality.
Spirituality is not a religion. Your spiritual journey does not have to involve a specific deity or set of rules. It’s more about putting yourself in a position to accept that life is greater than the sum of physical existence. Finding your own spirituality will help you see how you fit into the world and will make you a more compassionate person. It may not be easy, but the steps above can help you help yourself open your heart to a greater existence.
