Are You New to Spirituality?

Becoming Spiritual

If you are interested in finding out what spirituality is, or if you have just started out and are wondering what the journey will be like and how it feels to be spiritual, then it’s helpful to know that there is not just one journey people take and there is not just one way to feel or be spiritual.

As people become involved in spirituality, they may have many and varied experiences. Some have a gentle, easy and enjoyable flow into a new way of living, while others may find it a challenging or distressing experience that they don’t understand or know what to do with.

It helps to know that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way, there is simply your way. You have been endowed with – or have chosen to endow yourself with – a way to live as a spiritual being on Earth.

To help you get a sense of the different ways, we asked a number of people who have been involved in spirituality for some time to share their journey and experiences. You will find their responses in the attached e-booklet.

There is much wisdom in their replies, with information that may help you. Many people are open to being contacted if you would like to ask questions or talk through your experiences.

Other options to help you step onto the spiritual path include:
