DISCOVERING ENLIGHTENMENT AND SPIRITUAL AWARENESS - THREE EASY STEPS TO GUIDE YOU

If you have spent any time exploring spiritual practices, whether in New Age circles or ancient Eastern traditions such as Reiki or Tantra, you would have most likely come across words like "enlightenment" and "illumination." But what do they actually mean? And how can you achieve them? These are questions many people ask but often find hard to answer. In fact, the harder you try to grasp the concept of spiritual enlightenment, the more it seems to slip away - like trying to free your fingers from a Chinese finger trap.

If you are seeking spiritual enlightenment, here are three easy steps to help guide you:

Step 1: Let go of the chase.

Many people approach enlightenment with the wrong mindset. They see it as something to pursue and conquer, like a trophy to win, or something you can attain at a weekend retreat in exchange for a pricey sum of money. But the truth is, the more you chase it, the further out of reach it becomes.

Instead, shift your perspective. Acknowledge enlightenment as your ultimate goal, but don’t obsess over it. Then, let it go. Focus instead on your daily life and the spiritual practices that resonate with you.

Imagine if you put the same energy into meditation, quiet time in nature, or self-reflection as you do into worrying about "achieving" enlightenment. You might be surprised by the results.

Step 2: Tune into your feelings, not just your thoughts.

Take a moment to reflect: what does a typical day in your spiritual journey look like?

If your days are spent stuck in your head, trying to analyze and understand every detail of spirituality, you might be overthinking it. While gaining knowledge is helpful, relying too much on logic and facts can block your spiritual growth. Do you feel like you need to know everything before you can move forward? If so, it is time to pause and shift gears.

Stop overanalyzing, and instead, allow yourself to feel. When you rely on your intuition, you tap into your natural psychic abilities and bring yourself closer to enlightenment. Remember, your Higher Self is already a part of you, and all the wisdom you need is within you.

As an old saying goes, "Understanding spirituality is helpful, but overthinking it can block your ability to follow your inner guidance."

Step 3: Relax and enjoy the process.

Let go of fear and worry. They don’t serve you and won’t help you reach your goals at all. The most spiritually fulfilled people tend to be the most relaxed and easygoing individuals. Why? Because they’ve learned to embrace life as it unfolds.

The key to enlightenment is learning to trust your natural instincts and inner guidance. But to do that, you need to be calm and open enough to hear them. So, take a deep breath, lean back, and enjoy the journey. When you relax and allow life to flow, you will find yourself moving closer to enlightenment without even trying.

By letting go, connecting with your feelings, and staying relaxed in your body, you will set the stage for spiritual growth and enlightenment to naturally find you.

Remember, it isn't something you "get" but something you grow into. Enjoy the journey.
