How to Find a Spiritual Connection for Your Health

The world is a stressful place to live in and it’s very easy to disconnect from yourself and your environment. You’re juggling your challenges, responsibility and a never-ending list of distractions. In all of this, it becomes the norm to neglect our inner selves, which leads to feelings of stress, anxiety and other physical ailments.

Improving your health improves your life, and you need to learn to cultivate a spiritual connection that you can benefit from. Here’s how to do it:

  • Explore spiritual practice. There are plenty of paths and practices out there that can help you to feel more connected to your higher self - or even the universe. You have to keep exploring until you find what resonates, whether that’s in deep meditation or psychedelics. If you don't know where to begin, reaching out to spiritual practitioners and retreats can make all the difference to your health.


  • Focus on being present. Mindfulness is so important when it comes to cultivating a spiritual connection. When you’re caught up in the past, in the what-ifs and the future that hasn't even happened, you can’t be more present in your life. This is something you could be lacking, so start practicing mindfulness where you can. You need time in the day to just focus on your breathing and centre yourself.


  • Practice gratitude. Developing a sense of gratitude can make all the difference to your health. When you focus on the positive aspects of life, you can shift your mindset to avoid too much worry and change to one of abundance and contentment. Being grateful for what you can can make all the difference to your spiritual well being.


  • Move to build compassion within yourself. A spiritual connection leads to a sense of interconnectedness with others, and you have to develop compassion and forgiveness for yourself before you can develop it for others. Letting go of negativity and emotions that make you feel low can help you to heal, releasing that emotional tension bringing you down. 


  • Give yourself space to reflect. Creating a physical space in which you can reflect and go into yourself is important. A cozy meditation nook, a quiet corner where you can journal and a place that offers peace is exactly what you need. Having physical space you can retreat to beyond the actual relaxation retreats can help you to feel more than fulfilled.


  • Embrace your connection with nature. Nature is a powerful spiritual teacher, and many people find being outdoors will allow you to come back to yourself in a big way. Disconnecting from the digital world and reconnecting with the physical one will be a game-changer for you and your ability to connect with yourself.


A spiritual connection with yourself helps you to ground yourself and improve how you feel about the world around you, too.
