How To Start Spiritual Healing

If you're looking for spiritual healing, it's likely that you're missing something important in your life.

Some people can express their feelings, while others simply experience a stark, bone-chilling absence of something essential. When a person is able to determine the source of their problem, they usually find that it is anchored in the soul.

However, this is a basic error. Yes, something is wrong, but it isn't that their soul has been broken (which is impossible objectively), but rather that they have lost contact with their soul. In other words, they live in a lifeless, colorless world devoid of the delight and succulence that only the soul can provide.

So the question isn't how to “repair” your soul (since the soul is Divine and cannot be shattered – as you can experience while meditating), but how to find it.

Spiritual healers who are well-informed (i.e., those who understand the nature of the soul) and spiritual healing resources (such as this website) will recommend a variety of approaches. Among them are the following:

I also strongly advise you to read our post on Ensoulment, which goes into great detail about reconnecting with your soul.

It's critical to be educated and to employ spiritual discernment in this situation. Spiritual healing modalities are not all created equal. Not all healers and teachers have your best interests at heart. And our motivations for spiritual healing can be misguided at times. Next, I'll explain why.

How do I start my spiritual healing journey?

The spiritual journey—and the resulting “spiritual awakening” we seek—always appears to take place in some exotic location or following a spectacular incident.

Perhaps you believe you need to travel to Peru to drink ayahuasca or leave your spouse to get the spiritual awakening you seek?

From the comfort of your own home, you may connect with your spirituality and awaken to the lessons that are meant for you over and over again throughout your life.

How do I start healing myself?

1. Take the emotional break you require. We strive so hard to show people that we are valuable and to show ourselves that we are important. Begin to understand that you have nothing to prove.

2. Appreciate the simple pleasures in life. It can be difficult to appreciate the positive in the world on days when it rains again or the weather isn't as pleasant as the prediction predicted. Don't attempt to find the silver lining in everything on those days. Consider the positive aspects of something modest, such as a delicious cup of coffee.

3. Make amends with someone you've been putting off reconciling with. Be the one to take up the phone and call someone. We sometimes resent ourselves for giving in first, as if holding out is a prize. You managed to outlive everyone else. However, I believe you should be recognized for your forgiveness. For synchronized swimming, people are awarded medals. Why not work to keep a friendship or relationship alive? Our marathons of interpersonal marriages should be celebrated in the Olympic spirit.

4. Make an effort to be kinder to yourself. When I let myself down or make a mistake, I have a nasty habit of saying to myself, “You're a scumbag. Until I believe it, you're such a motherfucking jerk.” We must no longer be our own worst adversaries.

5. Consider the messages you give yourself on a daily basis. What are the messages you're getting from the media about your body and self-worth?

6. Don't think of self-improvement as a once-a-year goal. Begin to see it as a year-round, long-term commitment to mental and physical well-being.

7. Pay greater attention to your parents and friends and trust them with your concerns, while being true to yourself and your intuition. Begin to pay attention to the voices around you, but keep in mind that none of them are more powerful than your own.

8. Allow your body to rest as much as it need. Don't tell yourself that you're not good enough “Because you have work to accomplish or want to beat this deadline, you'll only get 5 hours. If you're starting to feel tense, give your body what it needs. Don't set an alarm; instead, listen to your body's cues for when it's time to wake up. Just make sure you don't miss any essential tests in the process.

9. Stand in front of the mirror for a minute and just smile at yourself. To remember why committing to wellness is so vital, we sometimes need to be reminded of how lovely our happiness is.

10. Today is not a good day to go to the gym. We're constantly so focused on pushing ourselves to the edge that I'm afraid we forget to take a break and hang out with the inner child. You don't have to be the person who drinks protein shakes all of the time. You're free to eat the pizza or fail to meet all of your goals for the week. Allow yourself to be a human being.

11. Accept and celebrate your blunders. Everything in the cosmos was designed to be imperfect, with the ability to deteriorate and atrophy. Remember that you have the entire cosmos within you when you make a mistake. This is all part of the strategy.

12. Don't bring it up. We can become preoccupied with our own progress if we are so focused on mending. Invite someone over with whom you can just be yourself and not have to talk about anything.

13. Take that vacation, even if it's only a short one. Get out of here. If you don't have the finances to travel, it could be somewhere in your own city or state. Visit a buddy on the city's far north side whom you've never met before, or go visit your family in the suburbs. You don't need to spend a lot of money to celebrate your ability to experiment, take chances, and find new things, even if they were right in front of your eyes the whole time.

14. Don't forget to keep your balance. If you've been going out too much, or if you've been a homebody recently, recommit to your friendships by staying at home. Make an effort to be someone who lives in the happy middle.

15. Maintain a positive attitude. You might begin by examining your reactions to various situations. When confronted with a challenge, do you quickly descend into pessimism and self-doubt? If this is the case, take measures to shift your viewpoint. Learn to see these difficulties as opportunities for personal progress.

16. Allow yourself to let go of things. It doesn't have to be a large undertaking. It could be something as simple as dropping your change on the metro and not receiving it back. Do not consider every mishap to be a life-changing disaster. Remember not only that you can't change things, but that even if you could, you probably wouldn't want to five years down the road. Every blunder you make now will later appear to be a teaching opportunity.

17. Put more faith in yourself. We often believe that we are incapable of doing things on our own. We believe we are unable to sew or perform certain tasks. We become interdependent in ways that teach us to value our community's resources but also preventing us from providing for ourselves. Whether it's changing a lightbulb or being proactive about progress, we need to believe in our ability to take responsibility of our lives and be the ones in command.

18. Have a good laugh at yourself. Don't be too hard on yourself all of the time.

19. Assist someone else in their recovery. Being a witness to someone else's sorrow and struggle, as well as an agent in their improvement, can provide us with perspective and knowledge. We learn about ourselves by observing others deal with problems that are both similar to and unlike to our own. We must remember to be present to those around us and walk alongside them as we go. You can stroll by yourself, but you should not go alone.

20. Regain faith in people. Surround yourself with individuals who will not accept your guarded pessimism, people who will remind you of the beauty of life. Even when things are at their worst, we need those who can help us see the world's potential and give us hope. We must join those who are working to clean it up and improve it.

21. Experiment with fresh prayer techniques. Yesterday, I received a Facebook message asking me to pray for Boston. Because I don't believe in God or pray with my hands, I pray with my heart. I don't care how you pray: by smiling at strangers, seeking to make the world a better place, updating your status, telling your mother how much you love her, or thinking about the victims of violence throughout the world (the many whose losses go undocumented). Send your best wishes in whatever way you can. Every day, but especially now, the world requires more love.

Where do I start to get into 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 is the spiritual awakening process?

Spiritual awakening, contrary to popular belief, does not entail a literal transformation “Awakening.”

You don't wake up one day feeling like you have a powerful energy within of you beckoning for change.

Spiritual awakening is a long process in which a person realizes that their existence extends beyond the physical realm “I” refers to the ego.

Eastern spiritualists refer to the ego, or everyday self, as the acquired mind in Taoist philosophy.

• Stay in the moment. Focusing on being in the now, as simple as it sounds, can be a difficult challenge, especially when the direction you believed your life was going to take abruptly alters.

What are the 3 elements of spirituality?

In their eternal wisdom, all shamans, healers, sages, and wisdom keepers of all centuries, continents, and peoples claim that human spirituality is made up of three aspects: connections, values, and life purpose. These three components are so strongly linked that it may be difficult to tell them apart. Take a minute to ponder on each facet of human spirituality to determine the state of your spiritual well-being if this is possible. This will be a three-part monthly series, starting with relationships.

Internal (your domestic policy)—how you deal with yourself, how you nurture the relationship with yourself and your higher self—and external (your foreign policy)—how you relate, support, and interact with those people (and all living entities) in your environment—are the two categories of relationships.

What criteria would you use to assess your internal relationship, and what steps could you take to improve it?

How would you assess your external relationships, shifting from the perspective of domestic policy to international policy?

How do you recognize a spiritual person?

The first evidence of a spiritual person is their lack of fear. When you have a fear or a chronic worry, that fear takes over your life and you are unable to be in the present moment. Fear of public speaking, fear of heights, and fear of bugs are the three most common fears among Americans. Many people, however, are terrified of death, rejection, loneliness, failure, illness, or making poor judgments. Spiritual people understand how to yield to forces beyond their control. In this way, they are similar to children in that they know how to ignore their minds and live fearlessly.
