14 Benefits Of Living A Spiritually Guided Life
Updated 2024.11.26
Living a spiritually guided life puts you into a place of alignment. In many faiths, this is known as enlightenment. Enlightenment happens when your highest self is connected to your soul's path and light.
Spiritually guided paths, such as those towards enlightenment, often bring a greater sense of connection to love, joy, sublime, and bliss, also, opens you up to spiritual gifts, like intuition, prophecy, and link to Source.
They look different for all of us, and there is no one right way to do it. Alas, there are still many benefits to living a spiritually and intuitively connected lifestyle, and clues that you're already doing it.
Interested in connecting with intuition? Opening your Heart Chakra? Experiencing more love and joy and a greater sense of unity with all that is?
Below, I go over fourteen of the most common benefits to connecting to your intuition and your soul wisdom and allowing yourself to be guided by these sources of wise counsel.
1. You enjoy the simple things more
Because you know that's what matters, and while money can buy happiness through greater physical comforts, some of the excellent feeling stuff in life is often free.
When living more in alignment, you have a deeper connection to your soul-level desires, which often are seated in non-complex reasons for happiness and joy.
2. You have a clearer understanding of why stuff happened
At this point, you've probably already meditated and connected with your guides about it. As you spiritually develop, your ability for third-sight increases.
Third sight is often called dream state, or metaphorical sight, and it can provide you opportunities to see life experiences from a higher perspective.
In other words, when in spiritual alignment, you are more able to see the bigger picture.
This ability to see, feel, and sense the why often creates a sense of peace and ease because it taps into the soul's need to be at one with the Universe and all others in harmony.
3. You have more exciting life experiences
When you spiritually align, you connect to your soul purpose, and generally, on some level, you step into the mystery. This allows you to stop analyzing, living in the past or future and opens your heart chakra.
As your Heart Chakra opens and clears itself of past or future concerns, it can sense more of what is happening at the present moment.
Then, when pinnacle life moments happen, you will feel them more, causing the heart chakra to spin in delight, activating the other chakras. As more chakras feel the happiness, this allows them to memorize the experience.
Give your chakra system an idea and indicator of what total delight at the moment feels like. It allows your energy body to sense when you are near similar experiences later, guiding you towards more of them.
When you feel more of life's experiences, through more open chakras, this heightens your awareness of them, thus, increasing the excitement.
4. You say YES more
As you align your spiritual body with your physical body, your heart chakra, and inner wisdom is more alive within you. Meaning, you can sense when something is a good idea, even before it manifests in the physical.
Thus, you may find yourself more open to possibilities, and saying yes to things you would have previously been closed off to.
5. You can say no when it's the healthiest thing to do
You know the value and importance of being true to yourself. Hence, energy boundaries become more essential, and it becomes easier for you to exercise them.
Usually, when you become more aligned, your chakras are more balanced and open. Speaking your boundaries is more comfortable with a bright, open, and centered throat chakra.
The throat chakra is the energetic part of you that enhances your ability to speak your truth. Experience is often created through words, so this is important in continuing to build your aligned life.
6. You invest more in your health
Your body is your temple, and living your best life often starts with total wellness. While health can begin in mind, it usually trickles down to the body and the Spirit.
Health is essential, and when you're in alignment with your soul path, you invest more in self-care, wellness, and even in taking pauses to cater to your own needs.
7. You're more resilient when it comes to challenges
You know there's a lesson to be learned and a reason for everything, and thus you are more accepting of life's circumstances. Here, you are out of a place of resistance, and you have entered the flow.
This often means life becomes easier because when you can accept what is, then you can adapt and overcome a situation much more quickly.
Since when in alignment, you are looking at things through a higher lens of truthfulness.
8. You accept mistakes and move on
You know it's true, and you know you are capable of experiences that feel better. Thus, you agree with redirections, sometimes called mistakes.
Mistakes are contrasting experiences that move our river in another direction, usually, an easier one. Think of a mistake as the uphill slope on land and you a downward flowing waterway. You encounter a slope, you swing the next direction and move on.
When Spiritually aligned, it is easier to see and feel blocks, such as mistakes, as challenges to overcome, or places to swim away from. You can more readily brush them off, as you are more in tune with your heart and what matters to you.
9. You cultivate deeper relationships
Your relationships with those who are willing become deeper and more meaningful.
When moving into alignment, you tend to gravitate towards those who are going the same direction. Thus, long term bonding can become a greater possibility and reward of the process.
10. You get to meet your soulmate(s)
When you're living your soul path, you align with others who are on the same road. So you tend to meet more of your soulmates and kindred Spirits along the way.
11. You save money
You're buying less of what you don't need because you know belongings don't bring happiness. Over time, energy may accumulate as a result of it. This energy can be known as resources, money, or even ideas for new projects.
With less flow going to non-returning directions, you naturally build and generate more of it, and hang out with others who are sending back energy, too. Accumulation on the material plane becomes more possible when aligned, as this energy generates around you.
12. You get more in-tune
By that, I mean your natural intuitive-psychic abilities often heighten and develop.
You may realize the gifts that you have, as your energy clears from your increased ability to live more in tune with who you are on a soul level.
As you live more in alignment with who you are on a soul level, you hold onto other's energy less readily, because you are living in the now. Rather than replaying past or future situations, cueing up interactions.
Additionally, because your boundaries improve, so your energy field generally stays clearer, giving you a greater connection to your inner wisdom.
Thus, your intuitive gifts are available, more of the time, allowing you to use them and, in turn, strengthen them.
13. It's easier for you to make changes
When you are aligned spiritually, your energy is in the present moment. Your astral body is with your physical body, and you are fully aware in the now.
This makes it easier to observe the truth as it is, neutrally where things are and then, see things positively, of where things could go. Coming into alignment in mind-body-spirit allows you to accept the present as it is.
This makes it easier for you to adapt and thrive in your current environment. The definition of intelligence is how well one uses its resources to thrive concerning its environment. So, spiritual alignment is often the execution of getting close to sublime intelligence, wherever it may originate from.
14. You're happier
When aligned, you are more accepting of the now. It is easier to avoid the weight of the past and the unknown of the present.
This allows you to accept the joys and love of the moment, making you feel happier when happiness opportunities come along. Which can be frequent when you are aware.
Without these additional weights of other possibilities that are not in your current reality, you are more able to live in truth with who you were when you came to this planet.
This is your inner child, or what some call your true soul nature. Our inner child is happy and connected.
Spiritual alignment with your inner wisdom also connects you to your soul gifts, your purpose, and your life is typically an on-going journey.
When you are more spiritually aligned, no matter what the physical circumstances, they may feel more doable. You can accept life circumstances with ease, sometimes love and sometimes with joy.
Meaning, you can live in a greater state of sublime and bliss, more of the time.
How do you live a more spiritually guided life?
There are many ways, but a few places to reconnect with this path are suggested below:
Live more in the present
Allow your body and spirit space to join you in the now. Accept where things are. This often means you slow down in some way, you slow down your breath, your action, or your thoughts, to come into being.
Slowing even temporarily allows all parts of you to catch up to the current. It also gives you time to become aware of the present, meaning you are more in the now. Here, your senses are with you - which is alignment.
Surrender to this moment
Let go of control, and surrender to the present. This allows you to stop pushing against and start moving with life. You are where you are, and pivoting is possible at almost any time.
When you move with life, rather than against it, this decreases resistance, and all the elements in your mind, body, and Spirit can exist in harmony. This is the alignment. This is where all people are spiritually guided towards.
Some people let go of control by identifying fears and then releasing them, others through the art of detachment.
Others, by finding ways to get grounded.
All of these are ways to surrender to what is. This allows your Spirit to breathe, exist, and show you what it is. When your Spirit can show itself to you, you are offered to step into alignment. This is unfolding and happens as a continuous process.
Identify your soul gifts
Your soul gifts are your spiritual gifts. They are supported by your intuitive abilities, your passions, and your natural biology, also known as the design of your star chart.
When you identify your spiritual gifts, by paying attention to where you have natural talents, your unique spiritual path is revealed. As your spiritual path is revealed, you can choose to follow it more, this creates a greater sense of alignment.
Whatever path you chose to align, these are just a few of the signs you are on one.
