Ways For Spiritual Guidance
Are you seeking spiritual guidance? Here are some simple ways to start the spiritual journey that will help you reflect and get control over your life.
1. Journaling
Have you ever practiced journaling? You might have used a diary in your childhood to write about your fears, challenges, and weaknesses. Since there is nobody to judge you or punish you for confessing your thoughts in a diary, you were using it. It’s one of the effective ways to get all these insecure feelings and thoughts on a paper without judgment.Â
However, most people stop this habit after they reach adulthood. Although we didn’t know much about spirituality when we were kids, we practiced journaling unconsciously, which helped us keep calm and relaxed.Â
So, if you have stopped journaling or never written your thoughts and feelings on a paper, start them right now. Here your thoughts and feelings will act as spiritual guidance and help you get control over your life.Â
2. Connect With Nature
With the rapid advancement of technology, many of us have forgotten nature. We don’t value the importance of nature and spend time on mobile phones. As a result, we are losing contact with our souls.Â
One of the best ways to receive spiritual guidance is by connecting with nature. When you spend some time in nature every day, you feel inclusive about everything around you, such as trees, plants, rivers, etc.Â
For getting the most benefits, feel nature with all your five senses. You will get a sense of fulfillment when you become aware that you are a part of nature.Â

Gradually, you will feel that your prayers are not only one-way conversation; you are receiving a message from the universe in the form of images, various words, and visions in your consciousness.
