Unfortunately, life is not always roses and rainbows. Unexpected twists and turns make our routine hectic, so it’s no wonder we all need a bit of extra guidance to keep on going. That’s when different spiritual practices come in handy. Not only do they provide inner peace and clarity, but they also finally give a much-desired sense of purpose. And what we especially like about them is that you do not have to spend a lot of time performing all the sacred rituals given below.
#1 Mindful Meditation
Who said that meditation should be complicated? All you have to do is set aside up to 10 minutes a day to relax, unwind, sit in silence, breathe in, and breathe out – all needed to clear up your busy mind. Try nature sounds or guided meditations as background for your practice to boost your intuition and deepen your relaxation.
#2 Do Positive Affirmations
Looking for quick ways to attract good energy? Positive affirmations are sure to do the job. Just make sure to start the day with positive and simple statements such as “I am here to get new guidance,” “I trust my today’s path,” “I am at peace with myself and with the place I am at,” etc. Choose the way you would like to do your affirmations be it in front of a mirror by putting them down on a piece of paper.
#3 Perform Tarot Reading Sessions
Luckily, you can choose between a personal tarot reading online or an in-person session offline! Just pick a reader that you can trust or try solo reading séance. The point here is that tarot cards are both an insightful and entertaining way to find guidance for a clearer path. Just draw a single card every day and spend some time focusing on how the message from the card is related to your life. No need to be a skilled guru – it’s only about your intuition.
#4 Write Down Your Thoughts
To come up with the right solutions for daily issues, combat challenges, and clear your dreams and thoughts – journaling can help with each of these things. Create a journal for dreams, gratitude, or for thoughts about anything literally. Daily journaling can become a powerful tool to understand your inner self better and reveal hidden patterns.
#5 Get Back to Nature Roots
The more time you spend in nature, the more grounded and connected you feel to something bigger than human beings. And the best thing is that you do not have to travel far to re-find your links with Mother Nature. Just go out and have a quick walk in the park. Sit down under the tree and listen to what nature has to say. Listen to the birds singing and feel how the inner peace is refilling you, providing you with the clarity you’ve been looking for.
#6 Breathe in, Breathe out
Breathing techniques help when it comes to combating anxiety and clarifying your path. Try deep belly or nostril breathing to boost your focus or/and cut off stress. We recommend inhaling for 4 counts and then holding for the other 4. Now, make sure to exhale for 4 in order to reset your energy.
#7 Listen to Your Intuition
Learn to trust your gut. It’s not an easy task since we, as human beings, are more used to trusting the material, i.e., what we can see, touch, smell, feel, and so on. However, practice makes perfect! If you learn to listen to your intuition, you’ll actually have a powerful tool in your arsenal that will help you make your path clearer. Pay attention to things like subtle dreams and nudges in your daily life. Listening is the key.
#8 Help Others
One of the best (and easiest, let’s face it) ways to redirect positive energies into your life is by doing some simple acts of kindness. And the best thing is that there is no need to save the world! Even the smallest gestures can do the job. Helping others like volunteering, complimenting your friend’s new dress, giving a hand to a stranger – anything like that can lift you up and warm the hearts of those around you.
#9 Let Things Go
The reality is that we all try to keep things under control be it our personal life, professional routine, or any other aspect. However, sometimes the best spiritual practice you can embrace is releasing all of your worries to take the flow of life as it is. In other words, it’s time to start trusting the universe that, in turn, has a special plan for you exclusively. To cut a long story, guys – everything happens for a reason!
#10 Clear Negative Energy
To create a peaceful environment, try the ritual of clearing negative energy. The best news is that you can choose the procedure that works best for you, from taking a cleansing bath with pinky sea salt and burning palo santo to visualizing warm white light all over the place surrounding you and making you feel at home. In other words, even the most primitive (at first glance) act can refresh and reload both – your spirit and mind.
#11 Be Grateful
It is crucial to take a moment every single day to think about things you are thankful for and are happy to have. Express your gratitude for everything that makes your life complete in order to attract positive energies and experiences. If you’re into journaling, use this habit to write down things you can say thanks for. For instance, you can end up every day by putting down three or four things that you are grateful for. It’s so simple yet so rewarding!
All of the simple practices we listed above are just some of the things you can incorporate into your routine to eventually enjoy a more peaceful and clearer path.
