Spiritual Growth Tips for People on the Spiritual Journey and Path

My name is Bill Austin and I am a spiritual healer, teacher, artist, writer and visionary. I have been following the spiritual path for almost twenty years. I thought I would share some of my insights on spiritual growth in this article.

Spiritual Growth Tip 1 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

The most important thing I have found is to be as true as possible to myself. And that means no longer giving away my power to others, honoring my time and energy and living as aligned as I can be in any given moment to my heart and soul.

Spiritual Growth Tip 2 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

I feel it is very important to stay as grounded, balanced and centered as you can on the spiritual path. A lot of people I  have met over the years of my spiritual journey are often so focused on growing spiritually that they ignore their physical bodies and emotionally they often are a mess. Often people on the spiritual path don't like having a body at all. Ascension on a physical world means grounding Spirit into the body not fleeing from the body.

Spiritual Growth Tip 3 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

I feel it is so important to love yourself.  Self love, esteem, confidence and worth are so important. The external world reflects back to us our own internal consciousness. If you do not love yourself from the inside, you will never be able to create a life on the outside that loves and supports you.

Spiritual Growth Tip 4 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

Learn how to forgive yourself, others and Spirit. To move forward on the spiritual path, you often need to let go, forgive, surrender and release your past.

Spiritual Growth Tip 5 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

People who are on a spiritual journey and walking the spiritual path are often very sensitive to energy. We often are psychic sponges that pick up negative energy from the people around us. Energy can only influence us three ways - positively, negatively or neutral. When you feel bad about someone or some thing, that usually means something is going on that you need to be aware of. It is helpful to learn a way to create and maintain good, strong and healthy boundaries on other people - especially people we love the most. Be very discerning about the people you share your life with or things like surfing the internet.

Spiritual Growth Tip 6 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

Be very careful about spiritual ego and arrogance. Often it is very easy for people on the spiritual path to feel that because they are spiritual that they are better than other people who are not on a spiritual path. This whole area can be very very subtle.

Spiritual Growth Tip 7 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

You often do not need to do anything at all to grow spiritually. Our souls are very good at drawing the people, events and circumstances to us in our daily lives that we most need to advance spiritually or to heal ourselves.

Spiritual Growth Tip 8 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

Perhaps my greatest spiritual teacher is Mother Nature. Take time to hang out with nature. Hug a tree, play in the surf, take long walks. Nature is a great healer and a great teacher for things like staying grounded.

Spiritual Growth Tip 9 for People on the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Path

Live from your heart as much as you can, have fun and don't take things or yourself too seriously. There often is no wrong or right choice since our souls learn from everything we do and every one we encounter on the spiritual path.
