What is Spirituality?
The meaning of spirituality means different things for every individual. It actually has various meanings depending on the person. For some people, spirituality is all about participating in organized religion, attending church activities, and going to a mosque, synagogue, church, etc.
For some other people, spirituality means something that is personal. Some individuals are getting in touch with their spiritual side by means of prayer, meditation, yoga, a quiet reflection, and even long walks in a solemn place or tarot readings and reiki sessions. To help further their own spiritual development.
For me, spirituality is who we fundermentally are, we are in fact spiritual beings here on earth, having a human experience. Spirituality is our true self and how we live as our authentic self, who we naturally are and who we have always been. We are all unique beings and we have a profound connection to our inner connection to spirituality, if we are aware of it or not.
For me, my spiritual connection has grown over the years, through my own personal life journey of learning, travelling, connecting with others, connecting and reflecting on my own life and who I am as a human being and as a spiritual being in a physical body.
Whatever you believe and even think truthfully, essentially becomes life’s reality in time. Mental repetition and constant meditation or even the same thought, whether positive or negative programs the human mechanism in order to behave and act in accordance with their thought.
Your spiritual journey is actually not a circus and all situations stem from the thinking pattern of all people and in time, their thoughts become reality. Whatever it is that happens in yourlife, is reflecting your thought pattern, so you have to work on yourself. Lift the negative thinking and the heaviness. To let go of the fear, toxicity and unhealthy mindsets and anything that makes us feel trapped. To break free from anything that is limiting us right now.
Clear all your baggage in life that seems to make things in your life even harder. Remember that clarity always leads to purity and your purity will lead to better understanding, mental clarity and to be able to move forward in authenticity as the true person (spiritual being) that you are and have always been. Spirituality is not always considered to be a philosophy or a religion.
Spirituality is not a matter of debates, discussion or even convenience. It is actually your own personal reality and our way of being able to relate to the truth.
Spirituality is an important path of being able to go through life truthfully.
Spirituality is a spiritual way of growing and living towards the new and the next lead of growth and development and a way towards self-development.
Spirituality is an act of developing and communicating with your most essential and greatest identity – you Soul.
True spirituality is a journey of self improvement and self discovery. Many people who are spiritual are starting to look within themselves to find out all the intricate details of their own identities. Most of us are just living, living without any purpose.
Some people just wake up in the morning, do their tasks and that would be their daily routines. Spiritual people are also armed with the ever growing and increasing knowledge of who they actually are. Those individuals who are spiritually enthusiastic attempt to improve and develop on that identity since they want to make their soul even stronger.
True spirituality lies in every individual, because each individual has a soul. How much you are wanting to connect with your soul, is always up to you and how much you decide to develop your soul is likewise up to you. Bear in mind that these are spiritual acts and your own path in life is always your personal spiritual journey.
There are some people who believe that spirituality is religion, but you have to bear in mind that spirituality is actually the opposite of a religion. Religion is just the same concept for every individual who is involved in it.
A person’s spirituality is always unique and is always different for each person all over the world, since our souls are at different stages and levels of development. Every individual has deep-level weaknesses and strengths and this is the main reason why spirituality is actually not a religion.
It might be safe to say that every individual has been in a situation where they are thinking of their real purpose in this life, and they also thought that they are no longer doing what they should be doing in their lives. It could just require some changes that they need, in order to complete their life-altering changes.
It is actually our nature to doze off in the wrong path every now and then, just so we can be fully aware of our main purpose, direction and path that we really are on. By creating some spiritual connections to be able to redefine our path in the most perfect direction, will give us assurance that we are starting to act from our real selves and not all out of desperation to make a change.
True spirituality is sometimes one of the main aspects that can help every individual to know and deeply understand their main purpose in life.
Ways To Deepen Your Spiritual Connection:
Deepening our spiritual connection gives us greater balance in our lives. Through greater connection to Spirit and our higher selves, we are able to gracefully deal with the many challenges that occur in our lives. We maintain our center like the calm in the eye of the storm — remaining unshaken at our core even though chaos surrounds us. Those who do not have a connection to Spirit or to their higher selves, may often feel lost or may be easily upset by what’s occurring in their outer world.
When we align with our highest self and connect to our spiritual essence of who we are, we learn to know who we truly are, and we feel a sense of purpose and clarity, that guides us through life with ease. We are empowered to continue our journey through life. When tragedy befalls upon us or our hearts have been broken, we find our inner strength and optimism, rather than choosing to be a victim. We see the beauty of life and the glory, embracing the possibilities of our future.
You can deepen your spiritual connection by using the Tarot or Oracle cards. I mention this more in one of my recent blog posts on Tarot and Oracle cards, you can read more of it here...
- Tarot is a divination tool to connect you to your soul and to your spirituality.
Remember there is nothing negative about it. It's just a simple reflection of the truth and of what we experience as a human being here on earth.
Each card of the Tarot represents a different aspect that we journey through as a soul here on this planet, so we can go through grief, we can go through loss, we can go through fear and shock, we can go through growth and abundance, we can go through love, friendships and breakups, to celebrations etc... which are all represented by one of the cards in the tarot. These are all aspects of life that we all go through at some point in our lives.
All of these cards reflect your own inner truth, and the reality of the situation you are in. It's recognising that its only you who can change this, and take responsibility for everything that happens in our lives, and in our lifes journey and to make some changes where it is needed.
Tarot is meant to help offer guidance in a person's past, present, or future, allowing them to understand themselves better. For some, reading Tarot is a journey into the soul and one's purpose in life. It tells you exactly what most of the time, you already know or need to know. As its your energy that is used within a reading, and it's always your energy that is reflected back to you through the messages of the cards.
People who use Tarot typically use it more for spiritual growth rather than for fortune-telling. Psychics begin using Tarot as a way for strengthening their intuition and connecting with their higher self.
Tarot card readings offer more specific details about events, yourself, and emotional states of your mind. For a person looking to know what is going on within a particular situation or within themselves, a Tarot card reading is more likely to offer them those insights.
The same goes for Oracle cards. They are also meant to help the user with their spiritual enlightenment as each card is intended to offer self-growth and reflection opportunities.
Generally speaking, oracle cards can provide insights into an overarching theme or topic of focus for one to consider and are often considered to be more "hopeful" than helpful.
Other ways to strengthen your spiritual connection is through -
Reiki, either having a professional Reiki session or training to become a Reiki practitioner. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
Reiki use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from the Divine, the Universe, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their connection to the universe and to the divine and their spiritual self rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
Here are 10 tips to also deepen your Spiritual Connection:
Incorporate a Mind, Body, Spirit exercise practices into your daily life.
Chi Gong, Tai Chi & Yoga are all excellent in helping you to reconnect to your body through a spiritual practice, and will assist you with creating emotional balance, greater energy flow and physical agility. As we open up the energy channels in our bodies we can more easily connect to our higher selves and to source, which helps us to learn more about ourselves and our lives journey.
2. Spend time every day feeling gratitude for your life and all the blessings that are bestowed upon you.
The feeling of gratitude for everything that you already have in your life, is a higher vibrational emotion and feeling that opens up to our divinity.
3. Be of service by helping another person in need, whether it be a stranger or a family member.
As we give to others, this opens the doors to the Universe and facilitates a deepening of our connection to source and to ourselves.
4. Spend time every week meditating.
If you don’t have time to do this every day, then take time out 3 – 4 times a week to be alone and to be still. This stillness enables us to relax, let go and to go within and connect with our higher selves. It is food for our soul and it is very important for maintaining emotional & mental stability. When we are at peace within, our outer world reflects this to us. 5. Trust your inner knowing. Our higher selves often communicate to us through intuition or physical sensations. The more we pay attention and honor these communications, we are able to deepen our connection to spirituality and our higher selves. 6. Let go of all self judgment and judgment of others.
Judgment blocks us from fully living our highest potential. When we judge ourselves or others, the only energy we can receive is the same energy that matches that judgment. This means that if something else greater comes along, we can’t acknowledge it or receive it, because we are blocked by our judgments. It's important for us to let go of any judgements we may have and to let go of any negative and toxic thoughts and feelings we may have for ourselves or of others. This will allow us to feel more free and able to move forward in our life towards our purpose, without fear or uncertainty.
7. Live your dreams!
Don’t be afraid to step out into the world and actualise your life goals and dreams that you have. The Universe will support you in living your dreams, because when we choose this, we are inviting others to choose it too. When we deny our dreams this dampens our connection to Spirit and our higher selves.
8. Laugh more, dance and celebrate life!
These are all high vibrational activities that can facilitate a heart opening and energise the body. When we fully open our hearts we ARE connecting with our higher selves. This helps us to connect more to our spirituality and who we truly are. All the great teachers understood the value of joy & laughter.
9. Get out into nature as much as possible.
When we spend time in a natural environment we feel an energy flow that recharges our entire being. This energy is one and the same as the energy of Spirit. Nature is a direct conduit to Spirit, so when we tap into it, we can connect to our higher selves on an even deeper level. Go for walks in wooded areas, green spaces, meadows and near lakes and rivers as often as you can, to reconnect to the deeper aspects of yourself, to feel refreshed and energised by your natural surroundings. 10. Live your truth! So many people compromise who they truly are by trying to fit into society by being a certain way that is considered ‘socially acceptable’, or a "good individual" or they destroy themselves by being the person that their husband, mother or father expects them to be. Let go of all of that, and be your true authentic self. When you fully step into your own potency and true self and you live your truth, you create an opening for Spirit to come through with total ease and grace. You know who you truly are and you don't feel confined to what society tells us to be. You feel free, you feel able to take the steps that are needed to fulfil your goals, dreams and wishes and to incorporate your own inner essence into your everyday life. This can be seen from the work that you do, the work that you create, whether that's a creative project such as art or music or a business plan or a life plan that you wish to see come into fruition.
As we balance our body, mind and Spirit we are able to easily align with our higher selves and open up to having a deeper connection with Spirit. Our connection is personal and is most likely totally different than someone else’s connection. It is not based on what our religious beliefs are, or whether we even have a religion or not. It is something that is ineffable and dynamic – always expanding with our choices and actions. When we stop functioning from the anti-consciousness of this reality, and we live consciously, we are fully connected to Spirit.
