Let’s look at my Seven easy Spiritual steps to a working practice!
Nothing comes easy in this 3D world, especially when it comes to transcending it.
What I propose to offer you are easy but profound steps to get you started on a lasting and practical path that everyone can adopt. They are not rocket science but most of the long-standing spiritual systems from around the world use and gain benefit from these core practices.
The Groundwork
As I first stated, nothing comes easy, so never think for one moment that all of the spiritual beings walking around just stepped out of their car and into enlightenment, it just didn’t happen! They had to work at it!
This is why so many spiritual forays end up in a dead end, as the effort required is too much to maintain.
Start out as you mean to go on and be practical.
Don’t follow other peoples’ ideas and dreams – just yours.
Step one: Create your own space
This can be as simple as making the corner of a room special to you or if you are lucky your own space, but whatever you can afford, be happy with it.
You do not need to adorn or decorate your space, but it does need to be comfortable as this is where you will spend quite an amount of time.
If you are familiar with crystals, then instead of buying as many as you think you may need, just buy one piece of clear quartz as a focal point, because quartz is an enhancer or amplifier of all things spiritual.
Sound is also a valuable tool to focus your practice, so the use of a bell or resonating bowl can help with your attention span.
And finally (for now) incense or good quality essential oils will elevate you out of the mundane and into the Angelic realms before you can say OM!
Step two: Focus
Choose one form of concentration or meditation and do not be persuaded to deviate from your choice, as the range and complexity of some of the methods out there can be daunting, but at the same time enticing, be aware!
Step three: Timing
If you are doing a practice that requires you to attend to it every day, then pick a time and stick to it, again do not be persuaded to skip the time and do it later.
The more you adopt a practice and make it your own, the more you will energise your life and the space you practice in.
Step four: Food
The best time for practice is just before dawn, but this is not always practical.
Do not try and maintain any focused work on either a full or empty stomach. I know that this sounds counter-intuitive, but a full stomach will make you feel tired and lack concentration, and an empty one will have you wishing for food.
Step five: Be kind
If you miss a session, do not beat yourself up and do double the amount next time, resolve to get back to the plan and continue. If you find that you are missing more and more sessions, then you should look at why, but don’t just change what you are doing. It could be the mind wanting to gain the upper hand.
Step six: Bling!
The spiritual path is not a hobby or just something to spend your hard earned money on.
If you look around your space and all you see are the trinkets of something you are trying to attain, then maybe they are also the distraction you do not need.
And finally …
Step seven: Other people!
Do not get into the habit of meditating or practising with anyone else. It is too easy to get distracted from the task at hand.
Also do not let anyone tell you that meditating in a group is far more powerful unless you are trying to energise or empower something, in which case THAT’S MAGICK and another story.
A solitary practice will produce far greater results than a diluted attempt!
In truth, there are really never any steps to becoming Spiritual as it is your natural self, you have just forgotten this to be the case, and all the steps do is to guide you back to the real you!
PS If you are reading this then it says to the Universe that you are sincere and ready to make great progress in your life here on earth, all you now need to do is to stick with it and try not to be distracted. As I always say “this is work not fun, but you can find the fun aspects within it”!
