Creating A Spiritual Environment
For those who are spiritual by nature and follow the spiritual path, it is important to create a spiritual environment because one’s spiritual practice holds a vital place in our life. This practice directs the positive course of our actions and serves as a guide to some of the most important decisions in our life. Even then, despite being spiritual, one does come across obstacles and problems which one must overcome in this journey called life!
While many of these problems are likely to be mental, financial, emotional and spiritual, it isn’t just the aspects of one’s internal life that can impact one’s trajectory. Sometimes the external world will have a negative influence in your life. Hence, to minimize this impact one needs to create an environment around one’s self that serves as a sanctuary, a spiritual hub, and a place of peace that can empower you to thrive. Swamiji mentions that through regular meditation one can create one’s own powerful aura, one’s own peaceful world which you carry wherever you go — a haven of peace around you!
Apart from meditation which helps you obtain peace in your inner world, there are a few things one can do to create that external environment which is conducive to creating that inner peace.
It is difficult to maintain a clean spiritual environment amid chaos. This chaos is a cause for mental stress and it also contributes to your spiritual health. When you declutter the aspects of the mess around you, it gives you space to focus on your esoteric goals.
Spirituality is an important tool in maintaining your sense of wellness, but it can also work the other way around. Maintaining your physical and mental health is extremely important, as your body is the home to your soul. A crumbling house is not good for spiritual health. Your physical health may well impact your mental health and vice versa. This combination of unwellness forms can be instrumental in derailing your spiritual goals. Surrounding yourself with plant life, creating your own home garden helps in creating a beneficial environment.
Speak about spirituality to whoever you think would benefit from this — this not only helps you gain confidence but also sends positive vibes to the recipient. People who come within the aura of spiritual practitioners usually sense peace and love and are always comfortable interacting with such people.
Spirituality should be a positive part of our day-to-day life. Our effort to create a spiritual environment around us, development of a strong aura helps us focus on inspiring others and bring a sense of inner strength and peace to ourself.
