I was raised in a secular environment, and it wasn't until I was in my early twenties, when I began working as a hospice nurse, that I began to rethink my beliefs. Observing my dying patients interact with their family caused me to reflect about life from a new perspective, asking questions such as, “If the body is simply a shell, what happens to that spark of life after we die?” What happens to that energy? What ties us all together?

I began to have a strong urge to connect with something bigger than myself. But I felt lostas if I didn't know how to express what I was looking for. In my pursuit for what I now know as a spiritual practice, I was bashful and clumsy. It took me a long time to compile a list of truths, observations, and touchstones that consistently guided me back to serenity and inspired me to live with an open heart. Here are eight easy actions that have helped me develop my own spiritual practice over time. I'm hoping they'll be able to do the same for you.
How do I unlock my powers?
My view is that we should not only nurture this wild monkey, but also consider various strategies to help us improve our mindset.
Here are some ways I recommend for anyone wishing to increase their mental strength:
Be Conscious About What You're Putting in Your Head
The first step in regaining control of your mind is to eliminate bad emotions from your thinking. This entails putting aside negative self-talk and anxiety.
This is a crucial phase since it deconstructs your current belief system. Even if you don't believe in God, there are some things you believe in.
What are your thoughts about your work? If it bores you, your mind will believe it and cause you to feel and act on those feelings.
What about your relationships with your kids, relatives, partner, or coworkers? Those beliefs will pervade how you interact with others.
What are your thoughts on your life as a whole? That belief will have an impact on how you view your life.
These are just a few instances, but they may be applied to other facets of life as well. As a result, make sure you're not afraid of those qualities or seeing them in a negative perspective.
Work on Desire
While our subconscious mind reacts to negativity, it also responds to positive experiences. It thrives on transmitted desire in particular. Again, our mind power requires a goal, and if that goal is driven by desire, our mind will work hard to achieve it.

- Consider meditating. Check to see whether a regular class is offered in your area, or download the Smiling Mind app for a guided meditation.
Can humans have powers?
Humans may not have “spider-senses” like Spiderman or the ability to sprout adamantium claws like Wolverine, but they do have abilities of their own. These superhumans are the product of genetic mutations and have abilities that a normal person would consider inconceivable.
What are my spiritual powers?
Your Spiritual Strength is a memory thief! Everything that matters to you is stored in your mind, allowing you to recall and utilise whatever memory you require. Your Spiritual Ability is a Daydreamer! You have dreams about things that happen in the future and in the past, and you can see into the future and the past.
How can I connect to my soul?
Do you realize you have remarkable abilities that come from your creative, intuitive, and spiritual nature? Your mind is as beautiful as a lush forest, rich with neuro-networks that connect beneath the surface, much like the roots of trees. When storm clouds form ahead of rain, scientists have seen increased chemical exchanges between these tree roots.
Our unconscious minds do the same thing, especially during times of stress, when the ego is imbued with dread, storylines and scripts from the past, which arise without warning, obscure our minds. Other woodland routes lead to charred and dead trees, while others go to tranquil meadows and stunning waterfalls. We can't see what's beneath the surface of our thinking, just as we can't see what's beneath the surface of trees and plants reaching for the sun.
This is a method for returning to one's roots and reconnecting with one's soul. To engage in this form of mindfulness, all you have to do is agree that you are not your thoughts.
Living Artfully in Five Steps
Begin by becoming a loving observer of oneself. Recognize that sensations and thoughts are neither “true” nor “false.” Allow the need to be right to fade away, and instead focus on the underlying emotions, such as fear or grief. Accept that you will be thinking and feeling a lot of different things at the same time.
Interference and commentary about your thoughts, pulling up old scars and scripts from the past, deceives you into merging with your ideas, leaving you befuddled. In other words, your thoughts had been “conned” into becoming “fused”! To avoid being “conned,” it's a good idea to “diss” (dis-identify) your thoughts.
When you've discovered your inner voice, how will you know? You'll figure it out. When you connect with your higher wisdom, it feels extremely different inside of you. And don't be surprised if you have spontaneous feelings of forgiveness or compassion when your soul offers you the direction you need.

How do you recognize a spiritual person?
The first evidence of a spiritual person is their lack of fear. When you have a fear or a chronic worry, that fear takes over your life and you are unable to be in the present moment. Fear of public speaking, fear of heights, and fear of bugs are the three most common fears among Americans. Many people, however, are terrified of death, rejection, loneliness, failure, illness, or making poor judgments. Spiritual people understand how to yield to forces beyond their control. In this way, they are similar to children in that they know how to ignore their minds and live fearlessly.
