How to set out on a spiritual journey

My answer is with the first step, like you would on every other journey. Wherever you go, you must make the first step. Same applies to spiritual journey. Universal receipt does not exist.

My first step were the books I was reading intensively. And in every I found something that raised my awareness. It is not shameful to want to learn something. The wisest ones are learning their whole life. Invest in yourself and your knowledge. How will you meditate if you did not inform about it? How will you affirm if you do not know what are affirmations?

My advice is following: Always first educate about what you will do. Today there is a large number of spiritual teachers, aware people. We are living in a spiritual era, in which a large number of people who perceived certain things are willing to share it with all the others. Find them, attract them. "When disciple is ready, master shows up."

So, how to start? Listen to yourself, listen to your instinct when you are trying to choose a book you will read or a spiritual teacher you will listen. Some of the books that I have around the house, I still haven't read because they did not match my inner feeling. While I read some up to ten times. Listen and follow yourself. You know better than anyone else what and how to do.

Paulo Coelho is one of the first authors whose books I read on the beginning of my spiritual path. He is an extraordinary teacher, who wakes people through interesting stories in such a simple and potable manner. A book called Veronica decides to die I will never forget. That book pushed me on the way of realizing what are our thoughts and prejudices towards other people. Book ending is fantastic, leaving you in silence in such a powerful way, that even after completing the book, you will think about life for days. Luckily, today we have plenty of wonderful books, and also teachers. Some of them are: Neal Donald Walsh, Bob Proctor, Louise Hay, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle etc.

We also have YouTube available, which is filled with motivational and inspirational videos. Don't get confused by numerous teachers. You can learn something from each of them. But still you learn the most listening to yourself because all of the answers are in you. All of the teachers serve only to remind you and give you guidelines. You don't even have to agree with their teachings. Disagreeing is excellent because it encourages you to think. There is no right or wrong way. If the people are not on your way, it does not mean that they are on the wrong one.

Everything that brings you peace, joy and fulfillment is a good path for you. Dedicate more time to teachers that your soul recognizes as truth. Follow those teachers and listen to their voice. Don't blindly catch up to others. Don't be dependent on no one, because it is not good. Every dependency, on anything or anyone, is not good.

Follow the ones you choose by yourself. And know that they all are right. They all live what they believe and what they teach others, as they create reality using faith. I am also not fond of all the teachers. But it does not mean that they did not "wake" millions of people. If they do not suit me, it does not mean they will not be appropriate for you. Therefore, there is no true teachers and there is no wrong teachers. Rely on your instinct and spirit. No one knows better than you what is best for you. But to achieve this level of awareness, it is necessary to work on yourself.

Know that spirituality is not a goal. Spirituality is a neverending journey. Awareness will increase everyday. You are now on a certain level of consciousness, and you can not even imagine where is it possible to go.

Enjoy your spiritual journey. It is the most important and most beautiful journey you have departed on...
