Starting your spiritual journey is exciting, confusing, and even frustrating. Here are ten, sometimes subtle, signs that indicate you are on the right path and making progress:

Inner Shifts

1. Growing Self-Awareness: You notice and understand your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more clearly. In turn, you may realize that you are making choices that feel authentic and true to yourself.

2. Letting Go of Old Patterns: You release habits and thought patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes, even without consciously choosing to do so, you move away from negative behaviors or unhelpful thought cycles.

External Reflections

3. Positive Relationship Changes: Relationships based on genuine love and respect grow stronger, while those that drain your energy either change or fade away. While you may be struck with grief from the loss of those relationships, you also realize that your inner growth is beginning to reflect your outside world.

4. New Opportunities: Opportunities that align with your values and spiritual goals appear, such as new friendships, love, projects, or experiences that support your growth. The words luck or lucky may frequent your vocabulary more often.

Enhanced Connection

5. Increased Sensitivity to Energy: You are more aware of the energy around you, sensing the vibes of places, people, and situations more keenly. This may look like becoming more tightlipped about your life or introverted; which can help you navigate your environment with more awareness.

6. Deeper Meditation and Prayer: Meditation and prayer practices feel easier and lead to deeper states of peace, clearer insights, or a stronger sense of connection to something greater than yourself.

Emotional and Mental Evolution

7. Greater Emotional Resilience: You find it easier to handle challenges and setbacks, develop a stronger inner foundation, and bounce back from difficulties more easily. Your toolbox of resources is fuller to help you self-regulate. 

8. Living More Mindfully: You start living more in the present moment, appreciating simple joys, and being more mindful in your daily activities, which brings a sense of fulfillment and peace.

Spiritual Insight

9. Meaningful Spiritual Experiences: You have moments of profound spiritual insight, such as vivid dreams, intuitive flashes, or a deep sense of connection to the universe, which are brief but deeply impactful. These moments can be incredibly confusing, possibly scary, but hopefully inspire you to learn more.

10. Feeling Guided: You feel a stronger connection to your intuition or spirit guides. A sense of purpose and direction permeates your actions, even if the exact destination is not yet clear. 

Support Your Journey

• Journal Regularly: Keep a journal to track progress, reflect on spiritual experiences, and begin to make meaning of life's events.

• Stay Open-Minded: Stay open to new experiences and insights.

• Practice Self-Care: Emphasize the importance of self-care practices that support their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

• Seek Community: Encourage them to connect with like-minded individuals or groups for support and shared experiences.

• Identify guide(s) or elder(s): This person(s) should have at least a few more years of experience in their spiritual journey and be excited to support you on your spiritual journey. You can book a private session to gain insights and guidance tailored to your current spiritual state to advise you on how to navigate your journey.
