What is New Age Spirituality and Why Does It Feel… Culty?

Why does new-age spirituality feel culty? Short answer…? It’s because cults have intertwined new age terms with their manipulative language since the dawn of the new age movement.

Here’s the thing, though… Whether you're hearing a politician speak, a religious leader, or a tarot reader on social media, cult-like language is everywhere. It’s almost ingrained in the way we speak. Language is taught, after all. But it isn’t so much the words used, but the way they are used and the intent behind them.

There’s a Problem With “New Age” Spirituality

Though the term “New Age” was first used in the 1960s, its roots can be found in ancient spiritual practices. Many of the practices associated with New Age spirituality, such as meditation, yoga, and astrology, have been part of Eastern spirituality for centuries. 

These practices were often seen as ways of connecting with the divine or attaining higher levels of consciousness. The 1960s saw a surge in interest in Eastern spirituality in the West, and many of these practices were adopted and adapted by Westerners. 

This period was also marked by a renewed interest in the occult and paranormal, with many people exploring spiritual paths such as yoga, meditation, astrology, tarot, and crystals.

The Intelligence of Your Heart

The Intelligence of Your Heart

It is often said that the mind is mightier than the heart, but I believe that our hearts are just as important as our minds. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that the heart is often more important in life and in our relationships with others. The heart is the source of our emotions, feelings and intuition. It is the place where we store our deepest desires and our sense of self-love. 

While the mind can be logical and rational, the heart is what allows us to be empathetic, to connect with others and to experience joy. It is the heart that allows us to be vulnerable and open to love and to create meaningful relationships with others.

The Importance Of Spiritual Hygiene

When it comes to our physical, mental, and spiritual health, we often focus on the physical aspects first. We brush our teeth, we take regular showers, and we do our best to eat healthy - but what about spiritual hygiene? 

Just like our physical bodies, our spiritual selves require regular care in the form of spiritual hygiene. Just as we use a shower to cleanse our physical body, we can use spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and other forms of mindfulness to cleanse and refresh our souls. 

Imagine your soul as a garden in need of tending. If left unattended, weeds can quickly take over, choking out the beauty. Regular spiritual hygiene is like weeding; it helps us to get rid of the unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that weigh us down, creating more space for peace and joy.

How to cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the new year

How to cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the new year

What does it mean to return kindness? When we focus so much on lack, it is the kind thing to acknowledge what is already there. When we cultivate an attitude of gratitude, we return kindness to ourselves and others. Refocusing our brains on the people we value in our lives, the traits we love about ourselves, and the privileges we have been lucky enough to have.

This should not take away from what we are still missing and the abundance we wish to attract. We should still strive for our dreams of doing, being, and receiving better things for us and those we love. Luckily, we are complex beings capable of both aspirations and gratitude. In fact, the two together are vital on your path to manifesting abundance.

Until we can acknowledge the good things in our lives and know that we are worthy of those blessings, we will not receive the abundance we are hoping for.
