The year 2020 will be remembered as a year where life suddenly changed around the world. Lockdown has led many people to start examining their lives and try to make sense of where they are, maybe how their life has unfolded. Introspection can lead to people ‘waking’ up to their spiritual selves. If you have the feeling that there is something out there, call it the Universe, Spirit, whatever, then what is the next step?

At the start of my spiritual journey, I knew there was something out there, even though it felt intangible. I spent a lot of time reading everything in the Mind, Body, Spirit sections of bookshops and searching the web for anything and everything about spirituality.

There is so much information out there that it can feel overwhelming. Start by doing what you feel is best for you – reading, finding yoga/meditation classes, going to seminars/workshops, joining groups, etc. Know that you are guided so tune into that and follow your heart and intuition.

The spiritual journey is a long one, so enjoy it. Going towards enlightenment is like peeling the layers off an onion. The issues/problems we’ve faced in life become the layers that we remove as we move towards connecting fully with our spiritual self.

The wonderful part of this journey is that you learn more and more about yourself and the Universe, all of which helps you in a multitude of ways.
