(Hint: It doesn’t have to be so hard.)
Here are six simple ways to set yourself up for a spiritual awakening:
1.
Start by making room!
Take time every day to sit in silence and solitude.
Allow your thoughts to pass without judgment, and slowly watch your mind clear of mental clutter.
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 honestare 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.
Explore new ideas and differing beliefs.
Read books and attend lectures and have conversations with people who have lived different lives.
There is energy and spirit and magic in the outdoors.
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.
Learn to let go.
The reality is you’re free to’t force a spiritual awakening.
Do what it’s possible for you to, then let it go.
Know that you are on the perfect path for you.
Keep in mind that a spiritual awakening is not necessarily a one-time thing.
The spiritual path is a lifelong journey of growth.
