Spirituality - A Simple Start

Discover the beauty of spirituality and simple ways to start your quest for deeper meaning

What Is Spirituality? | A Brief Explanation

Many people often shy away from the topic of spirituality. Main stream media and society as a whole, often posses uneducated perceptions which have made the topic taboo. Many people think it is a form of beliefs that are "evil", "sacrilegious" and include witchcraft, devil worship, etc. However, these ideas could not be further from the truth. Spirituality in general, is one's own personal search for deeper meaning and sacred purpose in life. It can include personal growth and development, religious practice and experiences, a belief in a supernatural realm/afterlife or simply creating a sense of peace and tranquility in your life and your being.

Becoming More Spiritual | A Simple Start

One of the very first things I began doing on a regular basis when I started my spiritual journey was simply spending more quiet time outside and in nature. No matter what religion you prefer, if you prefer one at all, enjoying some peace outdoors is definitely a positive thing for your life. I typically take a book and my journal with me. I spend time watching the trees, the birds, and any other animals that I come by. I absolutely love watching the sunrise and the sunset, so I try to make it out during these times of day. I also love taking leisurely walks. Whenever I can, I make sure to spend a little time with my bare feet on the ground or playing with the grass. This helps to ground my energy.

When I am settled, I pray and give my thanks for the day and for my life. When I am finished, I center my focus on the present moment, blocking all thoughts of the things going on in my life. Oftentimes, while doing this I will write. Every word or thought that comes to mind, even if it doesn’t flow or make sense, I jot it down. Once I am at a stopping point with my writing, I will read the book I chose to bring and make notes as I go. This is a fantastic way to start your journey with becoming a more spiritual being. Do this as often as you can!
