What to do when you are on your spiritual path
So what can you do to progress on your spiritual path even faster?
Begin with yourself. Stop searching for external fixes to sort out your life, deep down, you know this isn’t working.
Second, you need to connect with your higher power.
This can be done through reading religious texts, listening to religious music, or spending time in nature.
Third, you need to make sure that you are living a healthy lifestyle.
This will help to increase your overall spiritual growth and development.
Fourth, you need to make sure that you are doing your spiritual practice regularly.
However, you also need to make sure that you’re not buying into toxic spirituality.
How? Let me ask you this:
When it comes to your personal spiritual journey, which toxic habits have you unknowingly picked up?
Is it the need to be positive all the time? Is it a sense of superiority over those who lack spiritual awareness?
Even well-meaning gurus and experts can get it wrong.
The result?
You end up achieving the opposite of what you’re searching for. You do more to harm yourself than to heal.
You may even hurt those around you.
In this eye-opening video, the shaman Rudá Iandé explains how so many of us fall into the toxic spirituality trap. He himself went through a similar experience at the start of his journey.
But with over 30 years of experience in the spiritual field, Rudá now confronts and tackles popular toxic traits and habits.
As he mentions in the video, spirituality should be about empowering yourself. Not suppressing emotions, not judging others, but forming a pure connection with who you are at your core.

You are doing an amazing job
If you are at the point in your spiritual journey where you already recognize some of these signs of spiritual growth, you are doing an amazing job.

Remember that your spiritual path is no race, it’s a lifelong journey and there is no place to “arrive” to.

Try to only focus on yourself and your own progress, that is the only thing that’s important.
