Life, in its passing phase, hit us to a rock bottom. After fighting and
struggling to overcome, we enter into the realm of spirituality. While for
some, it is one’s own way to find peace in life. However, the ultimate goal
is to live a peaceful life. To begin with, it is essential to
know the meaning of spiritual path. The spiritual path is a journey when an
individual feels the urge to explore. It is when one understands that the real
happiness lies within than outside. The materialistic world is no more of any
importance to him. It is when a person tries to find out the answers to his
questions about why one undergoes certain events in life. The journey is easy
and simple and is often self-driven. It is a self-healing process.
Here are five easy and simple tips to start out on your spiritual journey:
- Daily
Morning Routine
Morning is the most
effective time of a day. It is the time when the body, mind, and soul are at
rest. Before gushing thoughts to fill-in our minds, we can tune in ourselves
infusing calmness and silence. Taking the mind under our control, the rest of
the day can be smooth sailing. Our silent mind is now ready to obey us. Make up
your mind to be happy throughout the day. This morning routine can fetch you to
your daily goal of being happy thereby making each day successful.
- Meditation
The very goal of
meditating is to silence our minds. It is a journey where one seeks inwards,
peeps into his own mind. Listen to the breathing. Today, there are many
resources available to help one learn meditation. However, it is a lonesome
journey.
- Fulfil
your responsibilities
Everyone has their
own roles being an individual, as fathers/mother, as brothers/sisters, as
sons/daughters, as wife/husband, and so on. Each stage of one’s life has its
own purpose and duties to perform. Fulfilling each duty in itself is a start
for a spiritual journey.
- Being
religious
Following religious
path is the easiest way to start with the spiritual journey. Integrating into
our daily routine the prayers, feeling of gratitude, thanksgiving and being
grateful for what we have, you are almost half way through your path.
- Being
considerate and reasonable
Slow down and look
back. Take in all those in your embrace all your near and dear ones. Your words
matter. Your action matters. Make your loved ones feel valued and cared. Mere
words can be a comfort for many or just listening for some can give them solace.
Be patient. Make time for those who need your support. Helping others is one of
the methods to listen to our inner voice; rather it helps you reach yourself.
With tons of resources available around, spirituality sounds like a
rocket science. It is you, who has to be a teacher to yourself. Being spiritual
is not something one can impose on himself. It is that phase of one’s life
where one walk into the path independently. As you set out on the long slow
journey, you realize happiness and peace embracing you.
