Practical Tips On Having A Spiritual Awakening

By Stephanie Anderson


The wells of the deepest believers also run dry. Once you find yourself in such a situation, it is time to look for spiritual awakening. This exercise reignites your passion for deeper spirituality and helps you to fulfill your responsibilities better. Here are practical steps you can take in this journey so as to experience rewarding transformation.

Shed off unnecessary burdens in your life. The burdens exist in the form of habits, things and people, among other perspectives. You may also have carried over habits picked when you got saved or entered a certain spirituality. Evaluate what is still relevant and drop what no longer works. This gives you a lighter heart to begin a new journey in life.

Review your beliefs and only stick to what is progressive and practical. Some elements of your faith will get cold with time and lead to withering of the spirit. Dissect your beliefs and isolate that which makes sense. Drop anything that does not add value or make sense in your life. Adapt the new ideas that will grow your spirituality.

Explore new spiritual ideas. This is not an invitation to abandon that which you believe today. The exploration comes in the form of reading new books and talking to people who will breathe new life into your spirituality. Expand your circle and you will discover the level of hunger that exists. You realize that you have been living a very enclosed life.

Take to outdoors for inspiration. Nature has a load of gifts in store for people who pay homage. Visit your favorite park, take a long drive, retreat to the mountains or ride down the river, among other options. By connecting with nature, you awaken a new aspect of your life.

Take care of your body. You cannot have a strong spirit if the body is weak. Eat well, exercise and receive treatment for any illnesses you may have. If the body is strong, the mind and spirit will also be strong. A weak body does not have the push to search for awakening. Your perceptions will be limited to your inner strength. If the body is flexible, the mind and heart will equally be flexible.

Be ready to let go. There are ideas that are no longer tenable in your life. The company of some people will also no longer add value to your life. Friends and activities will also have to change if a transformation is to be realized. Continued holding on to them means that your life is held hostage. Pray for strength and grace to accept these changes. You cannot achieve the changes without letting go a part of your old self.

Find a mentor to guide you through the process. There are activities and actions that could be enticing yet they do not lead you in the right direction. A mentor will direct you from experience and revelation. This should be a leader who has served for years and therefore understands the right direction to take. You must prepare to be a new being and drop your old ways. It will take a while to get comfortable with your new self.
