Practical Ways To Have A Spiritual Awakening

By Stephanie Anderson


A strong believer will sometimes feel weak at a point in his or her life. This plateau moment calls for a spiritual awakening. The exercises are meant to awaken passion to pursue deeper spirituality so that the believer can enjoy the fruits of full or strong spirituality. The following practical steps will aid in reigniting a strong spirit and transforming your life.

Prepare to drop excess baggage from your life. The baggage comes in the form of habits, items and people. A lot of elements in life cause cluttering to the point that you cannot operate efficiently. An example is habits that you picked during your formation years. Other burdens could be physical and even emotional. By dropping some of these elements, you are light weight and have room for a new perspective.

Evaluate your belief system to see whether it is practical and effective. There are aspects of faith that could be causing your spirit to die or get cold. Lay bare what you believe and see whether it makes sense. If a belief is not making sense or adding value to your life, drop it. Pick up new ideas that enhance your spirituality.

Adapt new ideas in your spiritual life. Do not change the beliefs but seek to strengthen them. Talk to people you have not been interacting with. Read new books and visit new places. You will open your mind to new possibilities that awaken your spirit. This will be the beginning of a transformation.

Take to the outdoors to reflect on the strength and state of your spirituality. Nature has its magic that will only be enjoyed by those who pay homage. A retreat on a mountain, a few hours at the park, or just a long drive will be rewarding to the soul. Nature also gives you a chance to reconnect with self.

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.

Learn to release that which is no longer necessary in your life. It is difficult to drop something, a friend or a habit that you have been engaged in for years. This means that you have to stop watching certain programs, visiting certain areas or keeping company. It will take a lot of grace, courage and determination to accept this change. It opens the way for a new path in life.

Enlist the help of a mentor to hold your hand through the process. Choose a seasoned mentor who has gone through a similar process. Mentors work from experience and revelation. It helps to work with a leader who understands the direction you are moving towards. Prepare to drop the old self and pick a new one. This process takes time and will sometimes be very uncomfortable. Be strong and persistent.
