How to Start a Spiritual Journey: A Path Back to Yourself

Updated: 4 days ago

There comes a moment in life when the noise of the world feels too loud, the routine feels too heavy, and your soul starts whispering, “There’s more to this.” That whisper? That’s your calling — the spark that begins your spiritual journey.

Starting a spiritual journey isn’t about religion or rules. It’s about rediscovering who you truly are beneath the layers of pain, conditioning, and expectation. It’s about remembering your divine essence and walking a path of healing, clarity, and alignment.

Let’s break down how to begin.

 

1. Start with Intention, Not Perfection

Your journey begins with a simple decision: I’m ready to know myself.That’s it. You don’t need to have all the answers or be “zen” from day one. Set a heartfelt intention — maybe it’s to heal, to find peace, or to strengthen your connection with Spirit. Write that intention somewhere sacred: your journal, your altar, or even on a slip of paper you carry with you.


✨ Affirmation: “I trust that my soul knows the way.”

 2. Cleanse and Protect Your Energy

When you open yourself spiritually, your energy becomes more sensitive — which means you’ll feel things more deeply. Cleansing and protecting your energy is the foundation of every spiritual path.


Try this:

  • Burn sage, cedar, or palo santo to clear stagnant energy.

  • Use Florida Water or Rue Soap in your bath to refresh your aura.

  • Wear or carry protective crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, or amethyst.

This is your spiritual hygiene — it keeps you grounded, balanced, and clear.


Suggested Tools:

 

3. Connect with the Ancestors and Spirit Guides

You are never walking alone. Your ancestors and spirit guides walk beside you, whispering guidance and protection. Build a small ancestor altar — a candle, a glass of water, maybe a photo or item that connects you to your lineage. Speak to them. Thank them. Listen in silence after you pray or meditate — their messages often come as feelings, songs, or symbols in your daily life.

4. Learn to Listen — Through Meditation and Reflection

Meditation isn’t about silencing your mind; it’s about learning to listen beyond the noise. Start small: five minutes of deep breathing or soft music. Journaling after meditation can help you process what Spirit reveals.

Meditation, journaling, and solitude open the door for your intuition to grow stronger.

  • The Power of Now — another great companion here to help you deepen presence and awareness in your practice.

 

5. Surround Yourself with Tools and Teachers

Books, crystals, tarot decks, and candles aren’t just pretty things; they’re spiritual tools that help you connect with energy, focus intention, and create ritual.

Some beautiful tools to start with:

And of course, find mentors, workshops, or spiritual communities that align with your energy. (T’s Wicked Wonders, for example, is always open for seekers ready to explore their path)

6. Be Patient — Growth Comes in Waves

You’ll have moments of clarity followed by confusion, peace followed by chaos — and that’s okay. Spiritual growth isn’t linear; it’s cyclical. Every challenge you face is an initiation, a chance to release what no longer serves you.

When the path feels heavy, return to your breath. Light your candle. Speak your affirmations. The journey is working through you, not against you.

7. Live What You Learn

True spirituality isn’t about rituals alone — it’s about transformation. Let your practices change the way you speak, love, forgive, and move in the world. The real magic happens when your inner healing starts to shape your outer reality.


✨ Daily Reminder: “I am both student and master of my own soul.”
