First I want to say that I never want to tell anyone how to begin on their own spiritual journey as everyone’s journey looks very different. We also all have different lessons and blessings in this lifetime, but I will share with you my own personal experience and what has helped me. Know that there is no right or wrong way to begin your path. Take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
Step to Begin Your Spiritual Journey
Connecting with Your Personal Guides
My first & very thing is to ask your guides to help. Yes we all have our own personal angels that have been governed to us since birth. Along with our guardian angels of loved ones who have passed away we all have two guides who have been given to us as it’s their job to guide and help us. These guides are usually angels who have never walked in this life and sits close to the Archangels, and God or a higher power or whatever your belief may be.
Our angels want to help us! They are so happy when we ask them for help and guidance, but because we’re given free will of choice our angels are not allowed to intervene unless it’s life or death and it’s not our time to exit this earth.
Practice Meditation
Meditation was one of the hardest things for me. I’m a Virgo and my brain is always busy, I literally had to learn how to quiet it and it took me almost a year to do so.
I was one of those people who thought meditation was for tree huggers. (I’m def a tree hugger now) I never thought it was for me and I actually found it very very difficult to quiet my mind, but once I did wow! The downloads and messages I receive when I meditate are like nothing I ever experienced. Meditation is actually something I crave now. My days are different on the days I meditate. It’s almost like everything just flows on the days I do.
Here is how I started meditating:
I started very small, 5 mins at a time. It was so difficult for me to quiet the mind that I downloaded an app called “calm” and did guided meditations in the bathtub because I knew if I was in water I couldn’t just get up and do something else. From 5 mins I worked my way up to 10 mins. It took me a full year to quiet my mind and really see the benefits of meditation.
Now my meditation looks a lot different. I now use HZ sounds for meditation and I meditate on an acupuncture mat anywhere from 30mins to 1 hour. Again everyone’s journey looks different. There is no right or wrong way to begin this and your thoughts are going to be loud at first it’s normal. You’re human, acknowledge your thoughts and then let them go.
Find your tribe
Who aligns with you and who doesn’t? Is there anyone in your life that is weighing you down? I call them anchors or energy vampires. As you begin to align on your new spiritual path you will find you don’t align with certain people anymore in your life.
LET THEM GO! You can meet someone tomorrow who has better intentions for you than someone you’ve known your whole life. Theres been periods throughout my life as I became more aligned on my path the less friends I had, and that’s ok when you let go of people who no longer serve you, you open up the doors for new people who truly align with who you’re becoming.
Decide who you want to be
What does your life look like? Who do you want to become? What are your hopes, dreams, and goals? Visualize him or her and start showing up as this person.
A vision board is a great way to get clear on who it is you want to be. Or journaling is another way too.
Write down 10 Affirmations of who you’re beginning to embody
I have some affirmations in my blog section to help you get started.
Quit the negative self talk
You have to be your biggest cheerleader, you have to believe in yourself. Everything is energy once you begin to believe the thoughts you think then you’ll start to see your beliefs become a reality.
Create a morning practice and commit to it.
How you start your day is one of the most powerful foundations for how your day flows. Meditation, positive affirmations, journaling. Whatever it is commit to it and watch your life change.
Conclusion:
Being on a spiritual path isn’t always pretty, it’s freaking ugly because you get real and raw with yourself. You create boundaries for yourself, you’ll lose some people who no longer align with you and your soul, but you get real with yourself and you realize there is something way bigger than just you and I in this life. The more you become aligned the more signs you’ll begin to see. I literally see signs everyday, I call them my angel winks. Ask your angels to give you signs because they will. You’ll know you’re on the right path. But I will never sugar coat it, it’s not easy but nothing worthwhile is. You can’t have the rainbow without a little rain.
I hope this blog has helped you on starting out on your new journey. And congratulations as life is about to become so magical for you! Just watch and see what the universe has in store for you!
