1. Declutter Your Spaces
The Universe is, at its most basic level, a web of interconnected energy. Living and working in clean, uncluttered places attract healthy, positive vibes and wavelengths to your space and aura. If you're not longer using it and you can't reuse it donate it or off to the trash it goes.
2. Take Stock of Your Current Belief System
It’s beneficial to know where you’ve been to figure out where you’re going, when embarking on a spiritual journey, take stock of the belief system you grew up with or currently subscribe to. Does it serve you? Is it comfortable? Do you practice it because that’s all you’ve ever known, or does it genuinely resonate with you?
3. Develop a Self-Care Routine
A significant part of spiritual journeys is getting to know yourself. Getting it right takes self-compassion, honesty, and self-forgiveness. Which seriously isn’t always easy. As such, you must care for yourself, and developing a self-care routine is wise during this period of your life. Moreover, we can control habits, which adds a bit of stress-lessening stability to a sometimes shit show of a time. Trust me I get it!
4. Read Up on the Possibilities
Before you pick a path, read up on the possibilities. Think about your motivations and what you want to get out of the experience. Don’t forget to consider the logistics of your life. Try not to pick something that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle. Sure, it’s fine to make some changes — like adding meditation and journaling. But if you have a nine-to-five job, it’s not practical to pick a path that requires you to live in an ashram for 24 months straight.
5. Decide Whether You Will Share Your Plans
You're the captain of your spiritual journey and decide who gets to know. If it’s something you want to share with the world, post about it on social media. Start a blog about your journey. And if you want it to be a personal experience between you and the higher forces. Always keep it 100% to yourself.
6. Reconnect With Nature
Nature plays a big role in spiritual journeys. After all, it’s the Earthly manifestation of otherworldly forces. Connecting with nature is bonding with universal energy, and it helps during a spiritual transformation.
7. Learn To Be Kind to Yourself
Spiritual journeys aren’t smooth sailing at all times. The waters can get rough, and you must learn to be kind to yourself to get through it. Instead of listening to the negative voice in your head, give attention to the positive one. Learn to forgive yourself and understand that everyone messes up, including you and listen that’s OK. Seriously lighten up on you!
8. Choose the Path You Want To Try
Once you’ve adjusted your mental facilities, done some research, and prepped your space for the journey, it’s time to pick a path you want to try.
Don’t worry about not picking right one the first time. It happens to load's of people. Remember that this is a time of exploration and discovery, so feel free to try on different things till you find something that fits your soul totally no pressure.
9. Keep an Open Mind
Skepticism is bound to drop by for a visit during your spiritual journey. Do your best to keep an open mind. Some things you try may feel silly and improbable. But give it a shot anyway. Hey, you never know.
10. Give Everything You Try a Chance
Giving everything a chance is another important aspect of your spiritual journey. You probably won’t get much out of the experience if you go through the motions half-heartedly. So, allow yourself to believe in majick and mysticism for a bit. Who knows, maybe there is a scientific explanation for why certain “spiritual” things work, and we just don’t understand it from a practical standpoint yet. It is what it is.
11. Be on the Lookout For Scammers
The spiritual market is filled with many aspiring cult leaders, grifters, and various types of scam artists. They prey on peoples’ vulnerabilities, and they’re usually skilled at leaching money from marks. So be careful about the orbits you inhabit.
12. Keep a Record of Your Progress
Having a record of your journey is educational and fun. Think how satisfying it will be to go back a year or two from now and read how far you’ve come. Yes You! I have a ton of journals both used and unused and we take great satisfaction in buying new goodies.
13. Try Rituals
Rituals are a fun way to enhance the spiritual journey. Plus, they put you in the right frame of mind. If you use candles, however, make sure to be safe and blow them out.
14. Allow Yourself To Believe
One of the biggest hurdles some people face on their path to higher consciousness is that they refuse to believe. But it’s a catch-22 because to perceive extra-sensory forces, you must believe in them. So, try to put doubts aside and give yourself to the unknown for the time being. It's worth it and so much fun. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience might as well spice it up a bit.
15. Read, Learn and Absorb
Journeys can take decades. Shit, some people argue that one’s spiritual journey is never over as there’s always more to experience and learn. Keeping up a reading and learning habit is the best way to keep your spiritual receptors tuned and receptive. Your journey is yours and yours alone you're going to meet a lot of people along the way. So, buckle up tight buttercup it's your time to shine.
