I grew up in an environment where I was taught that the only way I could connect with spirit was through one of three ways: going to church, reading the Bible or praying. I felt like everyone around me was connecting with spirit using these methods and loved it!
But...I didn’t feel like they were my thing. I felt left out. I was frustrated with myself. I would think, “Why can’t you do this, Lindsay?!” I so badly wanted those methods to work, but they just weren’t doing it for me.
I have yet (even to this day!) to find the right church for me. Many of the churches around where I live (deep in the heart of the Bible belt of Texas) are either negative or I find the Preacher to be a bit too into himself. (Harsh I know, but true.)
The Bible I could never quite understand. The lingo didn’t make sense and even though I tried to understand it as best I could, I just barely passed. (I know this because I took an “Understanding The Bible” course in college and scrapped by with a low C in the class!!)
And, praying - don’t even get me started. I didn’t know what the heck to say! Plus, my parents weren’t religious people and always grumbled when they heard people praying. So, I felt stupid and shameful for even trying to pray. (Sad, I know!)
Yet, I craved a connection with spirit as a child and into my early adult years. I really wanted to have the connection that others gushed about with spirit, I just didn’t know how.
It wasn’t until just a few years ago did I learn how to connect with sprit! (#Hallelujah!) I didn’t go back to the conventional ways either, I instead starting finding ways of my own. From these unconventional ways I practiced, my spiritual life has blossomed 100 times over!
Having a spiritual connection now is one of the things I love MOST about my life. Life feels magical! I feel like nothing can ever NOT go my way because I know without a doubt that spirit has my back. It’s truly incredible to live life this way. I have less anxiety, less grief and instead SO much joy and happiness.
If you’re feeling the way I used to feel where you want to up your spiritual connection game but, need some new ways on how, this episode is for you.
Today, I’m sharing my top 10 unconventional ways to connect with spirit. While not all of them may be your thing, I hope you’ll find a few that you’ll feel inspired to try today!
