How to Become More Spiritual

Most people know about the importance of the physical and mental aspects of health and well-being. But many people forgot about the spiritual aspects, likely because spirituality can be complex. Most people like to assign some sort of purpose and meaning to their lives, and this is part of having a spiritual practice. Spirituality involves self-reflection and self-awareness. It enables you to become the guide to your own life and seek out a true purpose in everything that you do. 

 



Despite what many people believe, being spiritual is not synonymous with being religious. You can be spiritual while also being an atheist. However, many people find that there is a significant cross-over between the two.

There are several ways that you can become more spiritual, and which method works best for you may be completely different from the method that somebody else finds helpful. Spirituality is a journey that often doesn’t have a destination.

There is no end goal when you’re on a path to enhance your spirituality. It revolves around you, your thoughts, and your feelings. Ultimately, to become more spiritual, you need to change the way you think and the way you see the world around you.

Try each of these tips below to try and strengthen your spiritual connection. You can use more than one of them at the same time, and you may have better results if you do use a combination of these techniques.

Learn More About Religion

Even if you are not religious, you can still be spiritual. However, if you’re looking to enhance your spirituality, learning more about religion can be extremely beneficial.

Whether you choose to engage with just one religion or multiple religions, this is a great way to expand your mind and discover more about the world around you.

Take some time to research online or read religious texts to immerse yourself in the religious world. Ask yourself the tough questions like ‘is there any evidence that Jesus existed?’ or ‘does God really exist?’

Although these questions have no correct answers, taking a deep dive into the evidence for and against them can strengthen the connection to your spiritual mind.

Both religion and spirituality work to enhance your self-awareness and teach you the most important life lessons. Neither of them are set in stone and they can each be individualized based on your unique beliefs and needs.

Practice Yoga


Yoga is one of the easiest and most accessible methods of starting your spiritual journey.

Yoga has been shown to have a multitude of incredible health benefits. It has been practiced for thousands of years by monks and other spiritual leaders as a method of connecting to their higher self and is still popular today.

To correctly perform yoga, you must focus on the present moment. You allow your thoughts to flow freely in and out of your mind while remaining calm and still. This practice can improve your concentration and self-awareness

The great thing about yoga is that it can be done almost anywhere! You can gain the health benefits of this practice whether it’s from the comfort of your own home, outside in your garden, in a local park, or in a class setting.

Improve Your Physical Health


Spirituality is does not only revolve around your mental health. It also entails working on your physical well-being. The mind and body are very closely connected, and when they are misaligned, it makes it much harder to enhance your spiritual mind.

By constantly striving for optimal physical health, you will find that your mental health begins to improve as well. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to fuel your body and brain with the right foods.

The type of exercise and the variety of foods that are best for your physical health may be different to the practices that are best for somebody else. This is why it’s important to try out a variety of different types of exercise and play around with your diet to see what gives you the best results.

When your physical health aligns with your mental health, you will find it much easier to practice spirituality and you will feel a huge sense of fulfillment in your life.

Spend Time in Nature

Spending time outside is something that many of us don’t do enough, especially those of us who live in the middle of the city. However, breathing in the fresh air and surrounding yourself with nature can do wonders for your mental health and, in turn, can boost your spiritual health.

Being outside and feeling the sun on your skin naturally stimulates the production of ‘happy hormones’, including serotonin and dopamine. In fact, studies show that spending more time outdoors can reduce symptoms in those with anxiety or depression.

Connecting with nature can help you to view the world from a different perspective and provides a much-needed distraction to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can slow down, calm your mind, and be at one with your surroundings.

Be Open and Committed

Spirituality requires you to open up your mind and be receptive to new ideas. When you open up your mind to the world around you, it becomes easier to connect to your higher self.

You begin to notice how the Universe is in your favor and you will find more reasons to be grateful for the things that you have in your life. This can completely switch your mindset from negative to positive, and will boost your self-esteem and confidence.

To fully experience the benefits of spirituality, you must remain fully committed. When you decide that you want to begin on your journey to self-discovery, you need to stay on the right path. Finding your spiritual beliefs can take months, if not years, so you need to remain patient.
