Why You Should Start a Spiritual Journey by Psychic Hope

There is no manual in life. You do your best to figure things out as you go along, And as you go along you have the chance to build the best version of YOU, as well. But how can we do this? Since life is already a journey, why not commit to making it a spiritual journey as well? For this publication, I am here to highlight some important holistic insights for spiritual and personal advancement to shed light on the HOW. Let’s begin this conversation….

What is Spirituality?

 “We aren’t human beings having a spiritual experience. We’re spiritual beings having a human experience." - Teilhard de Chardin

Think about the role of spirituality! It plays a huge part in how we evolve as humans while being interconnected in this world. Spirituality can be explored in diverse ways, especially as you tap into human nature to find some peace and calm in life.

For some, spirituality is to do with religion, prayer, God, meditation, faith, and a higher power. Others find spirituality through art, nature, charity work or even a secular community. Spirituality means different things to different people. However you choose to express it, spirituality is about your connection to yourself and others, developing your own personal values and searching for meaning and purpose in your life. When we embrace spirituality in diverse ways, it gives us personal growth to advance more in life.

Every person on Earth is on his/her journey of self-discovery to grow more intuitively, physically, emotionally, mentally, sexually, creatively, energetically, and of course, spiritually. We cannot forget as we have this human experience, we are learning how to balance the masculine and feminine energies called duality while raising our vibrations higher with LOVE. Don’t forget LOVE is the glue that makes life important and enjoyable.

The Benefits of Having More Spiritual Awareness

Increased Self-Awareness: You develop a profound understanding of who you truly are, such as understanding more of your thoughts, emotions, social conditioning, and patterns of behavior. Self-awareness allows you to make conscious choices that align with your authentic self.

Enhanced Creativity: Spirituality ignites our creative spark by allowing us to tap into the limitless source of inspiration, especially through artistic expression or innovative problem-solving. Overall, embracing your spirituality fosters a greater flow of creative energy, leading to breakthroughs and new perspectives.

Improved Mental Health: The world is distracting, so finding clarity and focus can be challenging. However, it is important to nurture mindfulness. As we cultivate the ability to quiet the mind and sharpen our focus, this allows us to approach tasks with renewed energy and purpose. Practicing a form of spirituality provides solace in our fast-paced, chaotic world. By finding stillness within us through meditation and mindfulness techniques, we can calm our minds to alleviate stress and anxiety.

Higher Sense of Purpose: Spirituality provides a profound sense of meaning and purpose in life. As we align ourselves with our positive intentions, we gain a deeper understanding through wisdom and our unique role in this world, which propels us to pioneer by infusing every action with purpose and fulfillment.  

Embracing More Inner Peace While Creating a Meaningful Life: Spirituality helps us to nurture more of our inner peace. Think of it as a tranquil oasis amidst life’s storms as we connect with our spiritual essence. We can cultivate a sense of contentment that transcends external circumstances. This deep serenity becomes an anchor in turbulent times, reminding us again to find solace within ourselves. Also, embracing spirituality propels us towards a more meaningful existence. We embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation that adds depth, growth, connection, joy, and, of course, LOVE.

Connecting to Divine Feminine Energy On Your Spiritual Journey

Now, let’s briefly shift gears! Since Women’s History Month is in March, let’s discuss the concept of Divine Feminine Energy. In today’s world, as women, we are more suppressed than ever to not connect to our feminine energy within ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously. We have lost our way with the confusion of today’s events, especially when we question more about our place in this world.

Feminine energy comes from our hearts and our inner knowing, which makes it an interpersonal connection. It connects with empathy, sensuality, and receptivity. It’s also called your intuition. Intuition embodies feminine energy. It leads to the path of the most emotionally fulfilling side to us. It fosters strong, intimate, and nurturing bonds with people. Plus, it connects us to other living creatures, plants, and most importantly, Mother Earth.

Qualities of Divine Feminine Energy

• To be; not to do.
• Collaborative; not competitive.
• Flexibility; not strength.
• Internal energy; not external energy.
• Intuitive; not logical.
• Emotional driven; not purpose-driven
• Create; being open.

 

When you learn how to connect more to your Divine Feminine Energy, here are the internal changes to be mindful of….

Embracing more SELF-LOVE: Learning to build yourself up with an understanding of who you are and doing things for you that bring you joy.

Doing more SELF-ACCEPTANCE: Acknowledging you are not perfect and still having a loving and cheerful outlook, even towards the most difficult parts of you. You learn that you are enough for you, regardless of what others think, and let people see you for who you are in today’s world.

Practicing more SELF-COMPASSION and SELF-RESPECT: It’s supporting and treating yourself with love, compassion, and respect in a way that you would support someone you care for. You treat yourself better by knowing how to listen to yourself, following your intuition and heart, and giving yourself a break in life.

Most importantly, I highly recommend an oldie but a goodie, “Warrior Goddess Training: Become the Woman You Are Meant to Be,” by HeatherAsh Amara, which is a great resource to help with self-love, healing, higher purpose, and spiritual boundaries. So, please check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Cultivating Self-Love on Your Spiritual Journey 

“The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.” - Marianne Williamson

Self-love is essential in how we evolve in learning to love ourselves first before taking care of others. If we get this concept right, then we evolve into a healthier version of ourselves while having a positive impact on helping others grow at the same time. It’s a balancing act of giving and receiving with love, but the key to evolving successfully, spiritually, and personally.

Raising Your Spiritual Awareness

With that said, how do you learn to conquer your fear, master your ego, and allow love to heal and bring more self-awareness into your soul? All of these things fall under the umbrella of raising your spiritual awareness. When you embrace your spiritual journey, you open yourself up with new possibilities to learn new things that help you grow into the best version of YOU, such as….

• Start daily meditation practice.
• Attend yoga classes.
• Seek solitude with a spiritual retreat.
• Explore the chakras and koshas.
