Spirituality means something different to everyone. Sometimes, it is associated to a particular region. Other times, it just has to do with a general sense of well-being. The landscape of spirituality may seem very broad, because it is an evolving concept. But the core principle of spirituality is always the same. In actuality, spirituality has far less to do with religious doctrine that people may think. You don’t have to practice a certain religion in order to be spiritual, because true spirituality can be found within. It doesn’t matter what religion you practice on the outside. Spirituality is inherent. The only way to really “practice” spirituality is to look within yourself.
Getting to know yourself deeply is known as a spiritual journey. But you don’t have to hike into the mountains or fast for weeks in order to “find” yourself on a spiritual journey. A spiritual journey is the process of uncovering layers within, and knowing yourself on a deeper level. You don’t have to go anywhere to do that. All you have to do is take some time to sit and be with yourself. A spiritual journey takes time and lots of patience. Many people are on spiritual journeys for their entire lives. Realizing how you are an intricate part of creation doesn’t necessarily happen overnight. It takes time to sift through all of the mind traps that exist within us. When we cleanup the cobwebs of our mind, we can then see that we are a beautiful being of creation. The source energy that created the Universe is the same source energy that created us.
In fact, if you look at all of the organized religions throughout the world you will find many common threads and themes. Every human being comes from the same life source, regardless of race, skin color, sexuality or religion. Inside, we are all the same and we all emanate the same vibrant energy field. That life source is the same source that created the Universe and everything in it. We are not separate from it, but rather an intricate part of it. Knowing that you are one with the very source energy that created you is often the key to unlocking your inner spirit.
Finding our inner spirit would be a lot easier if our daily lives weren’t full of needless distractions. There are so many “things” that get in the way of discovering our true selves. But the very reason why we are here is to love and accept ourselves. By enhancing your spirituality, you have the ability to expand your world in ways you never thought possible. Healing and wellness incorporates spirituality, and involves the mind, body and soul. We have the power to heal ourselves, and that power comes with knowing who we really are. The reason why so many people find themselves searching for fulfillment in life is because they haven’t yet realized that the only true sense of completeness comes from within. True happiness cannot be found in the “things” of this world, because nothing lasts forever. It can only be found through spirituality.
Spirituality varies in meaning from person to person. Some people put it at the very top of their list while others don’t even think twice about it. Eventually, the comings and goings of the Universe will take place and you may find yourself at a point in your life where you are searching for something “more.” Your spiritual journey may take you deeper than you ever imagined, and change your whole perspective of the world.
It doesn’t matter what you believe about spirituality, what matters most is maintaining a deep and profound love for yourself and the Universe throughout your lifetime. Reality moves constantly and the world is always changing. That is the exact reason why you can never find true happiness and fulfillment in the things of this world. Things come and ago. The true meaning of spirituality is to find a secure place within yourself, knowing that what “comes and goes” doesn’t much matter because you are always whole and complete just as you are.
