How To Get Spiritual Guidance

Meditation is one way to receive heavenly guidance in a practical way. This method allows you to purge your mind of unnecessary information and concentrate your thoughts on the present moment.

Repeat the mantra “I am open to any message the universe might bring me” while you're meditating.

It's perfectly acceptable to substitute the word “universe” with “God” or the name of your higher power. The goal is to use language that have personal meaning for you.

If you've never meditated before or aren't sure where to begin, I recommend starting with this step-by-step body scan.

You can meditate about openness at any time. Some people say they get the best outcomes by doing the following:

What does spiritual guidance do?

On our spiritual journeys, we all require company. A spiritual guide is a person who assists you in becoming more aware of God's presence in your life. Spiritual guidance may be sought to help you reflect carefully on your experiences or to incorporate spirituality into your daily life. At times of transition, loss, or disappointment, spiritual counseling can be beneficial.

Spiritual guides have been trained and have a lot of expertise in assisting people with their spiritual lives. Spiritual advice differs from counseling in that its objective is to improve awareness of how God is already functioning in your life, rather than to solve issues. We recommend a $50 payment for an hour consultation with a spiritual guide at Holy Wisdom.

A spiritual mentoring relationship's shape, frequency, and length are all personal preferences. Consider the following questions before hiring a spiritual advisor:

Is it necessary for your guide to have a certain religious background?

How do I get in touch with my spiritual side?

Spirituality is extremely personal and unique to everyone of us. Make an effort to connect with your spiritual side.

• Attending religious services or meditating on a regular basis are examples of active practice.

How do you practice spirituality?

I'm a mother and a wife. I'm a carpool driver. I cook, and there's a 50/50 chance that my family will eat what I create. I set a goal of exercising six days a week, but I've only been able to do it three times recently. I'm also starting a meditation teaching business. I enjoy socializing with my friends, but I don't get to do it as much as I used to. But, no matter what, I still manage to make time to be spiritual every day.

This isn't to suggest that I'm more spiritual or unique than you. I just incorporate my faith into everything I do, giving even the most boring chores significance and assisting me in my personal development. I'm always learning new things, working on forgiving myself and others, and trying to be more attentive.

Certain days are unquestionably better than others. Even my worst days might feel like a wonderful gift when I have a firmly entrenched spiritual perspective.

Here are six techniques that you can adopt into your daily life to help you live a more spiritual existence:

1. Mindfulness

Even if it's only for a minute, try to start each day with meditation. You'll be able to start your day feeling more centered and grounded as a result of this. Meditation has helped me feel less stressed, have more patience, get better sleep, have a stronger connection to my inner guidance system, and have improved compassion for myself and others.

I started my practice two years ago with eight minutes per day and gradually increased it by a minute or two every few weeks. I now meditate for 20-30 minutes every morning, but consistency is more important than time. It is preferable to meditate for five minutes every day rather than twice a week for 20 minutes. However, it is preferable to meditate twice a week than not at all.

2. Spiritual Consultation

Reading spiritual books has become an important part of my daily meditation routine. Reading novels like Robert Holden's Holy Shift! and Marianne Williamson's A Year of Miracles inspires me every day. These books are constructed with the intention of allowing the reader to read one page per day in order to avoid becoming overwhelmed by commitment. It's incredible how motivated you may feel after reading just one page of truly profound literature.

3. Develop a sense of gratitude

Increasing your thankfulness is a major changer in your life. I am convinced that the more thankfulness you express, the more things you will have to be grateful for from the Universe.

What happens when you have a spiritual awakening?

As Kaiser argues, this is the start of your spiritual journey, as you begin to doubt everything you previously believed. You begin to purge certain aspects of your life (habits, relationships, and outdated belief systems) in order to make room for new, more meaningful experiences. You may sense that something is lacking, but you aren't sure what it is. It's common to feel disoriented, confused, and down during this time.

What is your higher self?

The word “higher self” is used in a variety of belief systems, but its core premise is that it refers to an everlasting, omnipotent, conscious, and intellectual being who is one's true self. “Atma, the inseparable light of the Universe and one self,” Blavatsky formally defined the higher self.

What is a spiritual mentor?

The Holy Spirit, the mentor, and the mentee form a spiritual mentoring relationship. The mentee strives to learn what God is already doing in his or her life through this relationship, and thereby grows in friendship with God, identity in God, and knowledge of God's call.

How is spirituality significant to my everyday life?

People who are spiritual thrive. Spirituality is associated with a variety of fundamental characteristics of human functioning, including positive relationships, high self-esteem, optimism, and a sense of meaning and purpose in life.

Spiritual people reach their full potential. Spiritual people strive for a better life and place a high value on personal development and fulfillment. Because it demands people to focus on their personal beliefs and strive on becoming a better individual, spirituality might be regarded a road toward self-actualization.
