Feeling Lost? Where to Go When You Need Spiritual Direction
by Anita Ginsburg
While you may consider yourself a fairly happy and successful person, almost everyone goes through times in their lives when they feel lost, directionless, or disconnected. Unfortunately, it can be easy to isolate yourself when this happens, which doesn’t help as much as we might like it to. However, feeling some spiritual connection may allow you just to be happier overall. Luckily, there are some places you can go when you need some spiritual direction.
Classes on Spirituality
Many individuals have trouble spiritually because they are unsure about many things. Therefore, a class that focuses on spirituality can be very beneficial. In this type of class, attendees can learn more about spirituality and things they can do to get some spiritual redirection.
Many of these classes don’t focus on any one religion or belief system. In classes that cover a wide range of traditions, you can find the one that best suits you and your needs. If you are already interested in a particular belief system, you can also find classes that focus on that one. That way, you can delve more deeply into it and learn more about your options.
Church
Many people find that they can get a lot of spiritual directions just by attending a church service. However, some people might be hesitant to gather with others for several reasons. Others might not have a congregation they enjoy in their area.
Fortunately, you don’t even need to leave your house to attend church these days. Instead, you can attend church online at a time that fits your needs. In addition, many congregations, like Christ Fellowship Church, broadcast or stream their services. This will allow you to feel a spiritual connection without having to be around a lot of other people to do so.
Outdoors
It’s not uncommon for many individuals to feel very spiritual when they are outside and enjoying nature. This counts for religious people, agnostic people, and others. This is why spending time outdoors is a great way to get some spiritual redirection. Many people bring a journal with them so that they can write down some of their thoughts that they can read over later on.
The key is to choose a quiet space and will allow you to reflect. Great places for spiritual redirection include the beach or the mountains. You might want to visit a quiet park or go on a hike. Even your backyard might be peaceful enough to feel closer to nature. It doesn’t matter where you go as long as it brings you peace.
Online Groups
You’re not alone if you are having trouble with your spirituality lately. So many people go through this, and there are various groups online that you can take part in to get support. In addition, these groups are great places to talk about what you are going through and make friendships with those you can lean on when you require guidance.
Feeling lost can really take its toll on you. You might experience a period of depression, and you may struggle to find motivation even for what you enjoy. However, there are many things that you can do to regain a sense of purpose. If you’ve felt like you need some spiritual direction, there are plenty of places you can go to gain some clarity during this time. After finding your spiritual direction and motivation again, note down what helped you this time. You may fall into similar periods of confusion or depression in the future, and it can be useful to remember what helped you out of the slump this time.
