Let’s demystify what it really means to be spiritual.
For many, spirituality can sound like something reserved for monks, priests, gurus, or special moments in temples. But the truth is, being spiritual isn't something we become — it’s something we already are. It’s a matter of peeling back the layers and veil to reveal what is already innately present.
It’s not about perfect rituals, having all the answers, or being saintly—those are hard to maintain or sustain. Instead, it’s about cultivating a sense of inner harmony, compassion, and curiosity—regardless of your background or beliefs. Everyone has the capacity to be spiritual because it’s really about how you relate to yourself and the world around you, in simple everyday ways.
Spirituality is about awakening to the reality that we are more than our thoughts, emotions, or daily stresses — it’s about recognising our true nature and living in alignment with this, harmonising our inner world with the external world. It’s accessible, personal, and something we all can nurture through small, daily practices like meditation, mantra, gratitude, compassion and so many more.
So, if you’ve ever wondered if you’re ‘spiritual enough’ — the answer is, you already are. It’s just about remembering and reconnecting to that inner truth.
"For me personally, I’ve found that many of the things that used to cause suffering — habits, attachments, beliefs, or ways of thinking — have fallen away naturally over the years through a consistent daily spiritual practice."
"It’s not about forcing change or resisting what’s there, but dedicating time every day to connect with me — through meditation, mantra, movement or embodying the teachings. Over time, this dedication has created a subtle shift, and what no longer serves me tends to fall away more effortlessly. It is an evolution that has no end."
That’s the beauty of a daily practice — it’s not about perfection, but about steady, loving commitment. And in that process, alchemy happens naturally, with more ease than we might expect.
Being spiritual doesn’t mean giving up the things you enjoy or feel connected to, like having a glass of wine, eating meat, or enjoying intimacy. Spirituality isn’t about restrictions; it’s about awareness, intention and full enjoyment of the things you are engaged in. If there is any sense of guilt, shame, or blame, this is not the true essence of spirituality. Spirituality offers compassion, acceptance, and self-awareness — it’s about loving yourself as you are and recognising your inherent worth. It’s a pathway of deep care and kindness, not judgment or condemnation.
Spirituality is really about integrating your practices into your life in a way that feels nourishing and innately authentic, not about deprivation or perfection. It’s about honouring your needs, your joy, and your unique path.
