Incorporating spiritual practices into our lives is as important as eating healthy or getting daily exercise. You can think of it as taking care of yourself on the spiritual plane, whereas eating right and exercising is taking care of yourself on the physical plane.
Taking spiritual baths, saging, using crystals, aura sprays, and blessed candles are all useful instruments for our spiritual evolution.
In this article, I will discuss why you should incorporate all of these tools into your life and how you can use them to become more spiritually fulfilled.
What is Spirituality?
Spirituality is the comprehensive term for how you, as an individual, connect to the spiritual realms and the Universe as a whole. It is a very broad concept that includes many varying perspectives. The beautiful thing about spirituality is that we each can take our own path; no path is right or wrong.
For some, spirituality is discovered through the religion that they practice. Their God is the Universe and vice versa. For others, spirituality may be looking within themselves and discovering how they are one with the Universal God, the Great I Am, who is our source but has many names. At Blue Sacred Rose, we called our creator the God of Love, which is the foundation for everything.
There are many practices within the realm of spirituality that you can and should look into. You can choose to implement some of these practices in your life to become more connected to your spirituality.
Spiritual Practices You Should Implement Into Your Life
The following are some of the major spiritual practices that are used by many today. Some of these practices may come to you naturally over the course of your life. Others you may choose to implement yourself.
Spiritual Baths
Spiritual baths are an amazing tool you can use to help cleanse the negative energy away from you. Negative energy collects on us like dust and can cling for extended periods of time.
By taking a spiritual bath, you can wipe this negative energy clean and enter the world with more space for positivity.
Spiritual baths are also great for relaxing and clearing the mind. The cleansing of the water is said to help unblock and heal your chakras, which I will discuss next.
Balancing Your Chakras
The chakras are points of energy along the center of your body that flow into one another and connect you to a higher source.
There are seven main chakras, including the following:
Root chakra
Sacral chakra
Solar plexus chakra
Heart chakra
Throat chakra
Third eye chakra
Crown chakra
When your chakras are blocked, the energy between them stops flowing right. This can create numerous problems in your life, whether it be spiritual, emotional, or physical.
Balancing your chakras will lead you to a more fulfilled state of existence. You will heal while simultaneously becoming more connected to the Universe.
The Practice of Saging
Saging your home is an excellent way to cleanse your space of negative energy.
You spend significant amounts of time where you live. It is crucial to keep your home in a good space energetically. This is where you should feel the safest and most secure. Simply lighting some sage can do wonders for cleansing the energetic fields of your home.
Crystals
Like everything else in the Universe, crystals are composed of energy. This energy has certain abilities that can aid in your personal and spiritual development.
You can use crystals to enhance your meditation, protect you, cleanse you, and so much more. Every crystal vibrates at a different frequency and has its own unique ability.
Aura Sprays & Blessed Candles
Aura sprays are an aromatherapy solution that helps to shift your energy into positive alignment. They are an instant mood enhancer and work excellent when you are stuck in a darker state of mind.
Using blessed candles during spiritual practices creates an ambiance of light and positivity. It helps you to open up to the Universal God of Love more easily. These are a great tool to add to any of your practices and keep your environment in the proper condition for connecting to your higher self.
Shadow Work, Karmic Lessons, and Dark Night of the Soul
Shadow work is what many people refer to as healing your inner-most trauma. These so-called ‘shadows’ lurk deep in your subconscious and influence your day-to-day life in ways you may not realize. In order to conduct shadow work, you have to retrace your negative thought patterns until you arrive at your harmful core beliefs. Then, you have to change these beliefs into more positive ones.
Karmic lessons are recurring situations in our life that keep popping up because we do not learn what we are supposed to from them. If you are stuck in a certain kind of cycle in your life that continuously causes you pain, this could be a karmic lesson that you have not handled correctly.
‘Dark Night of the Soul’ is a step in your spiritual evolution in which you go through a particularly dark period. These usually happen right before you have a spiritual awakening. Most times, these come about naturally.
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a healing technique that involves manipulating your energy. There can be blocks in your chakras or elsewhere in your body that are difficult to take care of on their own.
A Reiki healer will manipulate this energy to deliver it through your body and balance you. This includes unblocking your chakras and allowing the energy to flow more freely down from Source and through your body.
Reiki is a great option for those who feel they have energetic blocks and don’t know how to fix them.
Talking to God or the Universe
Talking to our Universal God, the Great I Am, looks different for everybody. It can involve praying, talking to your ancestors, connecting with angels, journals, meditation, using affirmations, and more.
It essentially refers to communicating directly with a higher power of your choosing. Our God of Love is constantly listening. Whenever you speak to our creator, your words are heard. This communication brings you closer to the higher power and connects you more deeply to your spirituality.
Closing Thoughts
Earth is a school that we come to in order to learn, grow, and expand as spiritual beings. Eventually, once we reach a point in our expansion, we become ascended masters.
Just as we need books and teachers for academia, we need spiritual tools and guides to help us grow and learn to get to the next level of existence.
Use these practices to aid you in your journey as you expand through time and become more connected to your spiritual evolution.
