Practical Ways To Have A Spiritual Awakening

By Stephanie Anderson


The strength of spirituality is like fuel to a vehicle. It runs out or low and has to be reinforced regularly. The process of reinforcing leads to spiritual awakening and gives you new strength to face the challenges ahead. You have greater passion to explore and live your spirituality. What can you do to make this process successful and effective?

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.

Examine your current beliefs to see where you stand. There are traditions and beliefs that would be slowing you down or causing you to get cold. Place these elements on the table to determine the role they are playing in your spirituality. If they do not add any value, it is time to drop them. This creates room for new ideas or approaches.

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.

Take to outdoors for inspiration. Nature has a load of gifts in store for people who pay homage. Visit your favorite park, take a long drive, retreat to the mountains or ride down the river, among other options. By connecting with nature, you awaken a new aspect of your life.

Be kind to your body. The body is the house where the spirit lives. If the body is healthy and happy, your spirit will also be happy and strong. Eat good foods, lean to relax. This leaves you with more strength to yearn for a revival. A weak body will clog your judgment and deny you the energy to pursue a better life.

Be ready to let go. There are ideas that are no longer tenable in your life. The company of some people will also no longer add value to your life. Friends and activities will also have to change if a transformation is to be realized. Continued holding on to them means that your life is held hostage. Pray for strength and grace to accept these changes. You cannot achieve the changes without letting go a part of your old self.

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.
