When most people think about spirituality, they might imagine crystals, candles, fancy journals, sound baths, or expensive retreats in the Lake District, Cornwall, or even abroad. Scroll through Instagram and you’ll see perfect morning routines, themed rituals, and people flying off for “life-changing” retreats.
But here’s the simple truth, spirituality isn’t about spending loads of money or collecting tools. You don’t need any of that! It’s more about connecting with yourself, getting to know the real you, and embracing a very personal journey, it’s not one-size-fits-all.
It’s Easy to Feel Pressured
Social media can make it feel like you have to “perform” spirituality in a certain way. Perfect morning routines, elaborate rituals, crystal collections, retreats… it’s easy to think you’re “not doing it right” if you haven’t bought the right tools or booked the right experiences.
The reality? Most of us don’t have time for two-hour long sunrise ceremonies before work, we’re just trying to get out the door and through the day. Spirituality isn’t about performance, it’s about connection.
Real spirituality is simple and pretty ordinary, it’s about…
- noticing how you feel
- being present in the moment instead of constantly being on autopilot
- taking a moment to breathe when life feels hectic
- reflecting on what really matters and letting go of what doesn’t
- letting your beliefs come from your own experience, not from what anyone else thinks you “should” believe!
If you enjoy crystals, tarot cards, workshops, or retreats, then that’s also great! They can help you feel grounded or connected. But they don’t make you “more spiritual,” and not having them doesn’t make you “less.”
They’re add-ons, not requirements. The real work is done by you, your awareness, your intention, and your presence
Spirituality really isn’t about collecting things. It’s about understanding yourself, checking in, slowing down, and living with a bit more intention.
Expensive retreats, crystal collections and £150 workshops are not necessary, because spirituality is free, and everything else is optional.
With warmth, love and light Xx
Very true words, Following on from sessions I have had with Liz I am more able to deal with life’s issues and deal with issues that in the past could make me angry, frustrated and miserable. Life is something I can now deal with in a rational way, and feel more relaxed way.
