Moving Past Spiritual Stalls
Stuck in a Rut
It’s easy to get stuck on your journey but moving past spiritual stalls is possible. Perhaps you are hesitating to begin your spiritual journey. Or you have been on it for a while but have plateaued.
The following steps will help you shift forward.
Declutter
When you clear your personal space, the energy moves and lifts. You feel lighter, freer and it’s easier to take the steps you need to take. Whether it’s your home or your work space, get rid of excess things, put things away, throw away what you can.
You are creating a more serene space where you can think, contemplate and feel some calm. Doesn’t that sound good?
It’s necessary to declutter your mind as well. Thoughts and emotions are ephemeral. They come and go. When you have thoughts you don’t like, let them pass through you without judgment. You will notice your mind clears of mental clutter as you practice this. Meditate regularly. If it’s difficult for you, start with guided meditation as it helps you focus better.
Reexamine Your Beliefs
Many of your beliefs are likely those of your parents, family and others you grew up with. It’s time to look at them and determine if they are truly your beliefs. Make sure that your beliefs support your spiritual growth.
A spiritual awakening usually requires you let go of beliefs held for your whole life. It’s not easy but unless you first realize that you have been asleep, you cannot awaken.
Expanding Your Mind
This is a great time to explore differing belief systems and new ideas. You can do this by reading books, attending classes and workshops, or just conversing with people who have lived their lives differently from yours. You seek an awakening. That happens when you learn something new. Your mind and spirit emerge from slumber that you likely did not know you were in.
The great thing about expanding your mind to accept new beliefs, ideas and possibilities is that you increase the likelihood that you will wake up to a way of being that you had no idea was even possible.
Connect with Your Angels
Hearing the messages your angels give you, seeing the signs and symbols given, are invaluable to shifting forward spiritually. With some simple exercises practiced regularly, you will develop the ability to consciously receive the guidance of your angelic team.
This connection gives you a major boost in making good choices, staying on your path, and recognizing opportunities presented to you.

Time Outdoors
Being in nature is a quick way to raise your frequency, lift your mood and refresh your senses. Most of us spend way too much time indoors and online. It’s important to keep a connection with nature. Find a place you love being and go there regularly.
You can do this by walking, hiking, gardening, exercising outside. Leave distractions like your phone behind. Even another person’s company can detract. Allow yourself some quiet time in solitude and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Take Better Care of Yourself
Part of the foundation of spiritual growth is eating healthy and staying active. This will help you remain connected to yourself and your higher power. Allowing your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual systems to become lethargic blocks your flow of energy. Avoid smoking, alcohol, sugar, and mind altering drugs.
Cleaning up your diet and your mind opens up your potential for spiritual growth and your eventual awakening. Do your best to keep your body clean with purified water, organic or whole foods, less meat. Exercise regularly in ways that you enjoy so you can better receive the guidance you seek.

Letting Go
Know that you cannot force a spiritual awakening. It’s one of those things you need to let happen in divine time, meaning when it’s meant to happen. Yes, you improve the odds of it happening through spiritual practices, but there is no sure road to your awakening. Do what you can and then let it go. If you focus too much on having an awakening, your energy pushes it away and makes it less likely to happen. Relax and know that you are on the perfect path for you. Right where you are meant to be now.
You should know that a spiritual awakening can happen more than once. I’ve had two more in the 37 years since my first one. Each one was unexpected and sudden. Follow the steps above and you will wake up to a new awareness of yourself and the world.
