You know you are progressing spiritually when

I’m lucky; I was first introduced to spirituality by my clairvoyant grandmother, and I have been working with a spiritual teacher in London since 2012. So therefore, spirituality is an energy that has always surrounded my life and guided who I am and my choices.

I hope that my substack and work, in general, will help you reach a greater sense of spirituality and whatever that might mean to you.

Focusing on spiritual growth is essential for a higher quality of life for ourselves and others. But how do we know that we are moving forward spiritually?

Your list might look different to mine. Here is my work-in-progress list:

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you know that all you need for your practice is stillness.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you are able to take time for yourself without feeling guilt or shame.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you accept that challenges are as crucial as opportunities.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when your intuition is in the driver’s seat.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you know that following your intuition is not an excuse to do harm.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you are less affected by other people’s opinions of who you should be.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you no longer need to prove yourself to others.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you communicate with clarity and calm.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when your self-worth is one of your top priorities.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when it has become an inward journey and has little to do with materialistic consumerist spiritual pernephernilia.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you have found balance between flow and discipline.

• You know you are growing spiritually when you can hold onto your spiritual integrity even in the urban.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you can set and honour healthy boundaries.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when rest and slowness is integral to you life.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you practice acceptance.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you know that everything in life is temporary and that everything comes to an end.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you know that this is only one life of many and that gives you a sense of calm.

• You know you are progressing spiritually when you have become less hung-up on words such as soul mate, twin flame, 5D, manifestation and other terms.

Thank you for reading my list and there are many of these I’m still working on too.
