Practical Ways To Have A Spiritual Awakening

By Stephanie Anderson


The wells of the deepest believers also run dry. Once you find yourself in such a situation, it is time to look for spiritual awakening. This exercise reignites your passion for deeper spirituality and helps you to fulfill your responsibilities better. Here are practical steps you can take in this journey so as to experience rewarding transformation.

Prepare to drop excess baggage from your life. The baggage comes in the form of habits, items and people. A lot of elements in life cause cluttering to the point that you cannot operate efficiently. An example is habits that you picked during your formation years. Other burdens could be physical and even emotional. By dropping some of these elements, you are light weight and have room for a new perspective.

Review your beliefs and only stick to what is progressive and practical. Some elements of your faith will get cold with time and lead to withering of the spirit. Dissect your beliefs and isolate that which makes sense. Drop anything that does not add value or make sense in your life. Adapt the new ideas that will grow your spirituality.

Look for new ideas about spirituality. This does not mean that you drop the old ones. Rather, you begin to read new books and talk to other people apart from your usual circle. The new ideas will jolt you back to life and make you hungry to learn. It opens up your life to new ideas that will bring transformation.

Find appropriate outdoor space for your reflection. There is magic in nature if it is used well to for spiritual reflections. Go for a retreat by the river bed or at a beautiful park. Take a long drive or go to the mountains. Such excursions will help you connect with nature and with your inner self.

Take care of your body. You cannot have a strong spirit if the body is weak. Eat well, exercise and receive treatment for any illnesses you may have. If the body is strong, the mind and spirit will also be strong. A weak body does not have the push to search for awakening. Your perceptions will be limited to your inner strength. If the body is flexible, the mind and heart will equally be flexible.

Prepare to let go of some of the things you have held dear. It is not easy stopping conversations and company with your dear friends. It is also not easy to stop watching certain programs or engaging in activities you have put at the center of your life for years. It takes a lot of courage and grace to change your life. However, it is impossible to renew your life without letting go.

Enlist the help of a mentor to hold your hand through the process. Choose a seasoned mentor who has gone through a similar process. Mentors work from experience and revelation. It helps to work with a leader who understands the direction you are moving towards. Prepare to drop the old self and pick a new one. This process takes time and will sometimes be very uncomfortable. Be strong and persistent.
