The path of Spirituality can be lonely.

As a person decides to take a plunge into the path of spirituality it can take one through the twists and turns of darkness and can get lonely and at times difficult. The ones who stick on and keep moving forward are often blessed with the beautiful fruits of reaching the destination which we desire.

The spiritual path seems to start in a world of confusion, endless distractions and deep pain. However, in my experience, knowing you are on a spiritual path – no matter where you are – gives you a certain feeling, a deep sense of trust, a sense that you are being looked after, a sense that everything really is ok. This can also become a guiding light and force to move ahead.

The course or journey is what needs to be bared as it gets tough. Due to various reasons and situations. As we start let us first see what can some of the main reasons be for this

1. As one starts moving towards the path of spirituality the thinking changes. That could bring about many in your circle moving away from you. As there is no more sync or the compatibility has shifted.
2. Many times one can be caught unaware in certain circumstances and situations that are unexplainable and also difficult to express. But these tough currents has to be crossed only by you and no one else.
3. The journey or path can look like it’s taking you in circles or through a labyrinth path which can make one to give up or get frustrated.
4. The darkness that encompasses one, could put one in spaces of depression or anxiety being unaware of where the path is leading to the right destination and if it is true for you.
5. Many may not be able to connect and may fall off your grid of network. Instead of trying to sulk or holding on stagnant energy it’s best to keep moving without any issues.
6. Try to be reasonable and supportive of yourself as well as people around they may not know how to deal with the new you.

As the going gets tough the path gets even more lonely and also the uncertainties at times can increase. One of the most common things that a person on the journey on the path of spirituality experiences is loneliness. This is inevitable when we are committed to avoid taking on certain beliefs systems and you want to experience the true essence of our trueself.

The point is one should not succumb to the loneliness trying to relieve it sometimes can be the reason people become blind followers of not knowing what they truly want. Instead of trying to trade a comfort of being in the crowd of being loved and appreciated accept the insecurity of the solitary quest and keep moving ahead.

As the path gets lonely the only thing that which can keep you on the path is the commitment. Keeping the commitment high and believing in yourself is utmost important as your traverse the path of uncertainties and loneliness.

Though the loneliness can be tough and at times can break you as a person. Wherein one may want to crawl back to the old ways of life and go about the same old routine which is acceptable by all.

As the going gets tough what should I do?

1. Stay focused and set small goals and celebrate as you reach each milestone as it is an important step or accomplishment by you.
2. Look at your commitments and work towards being assertive about your commitments for your own journey.
3. Be prepared for setbacks and maybe challenges that may come upon the path.
4. Be patient and also loving to yourself as the going gets tough. Don’t let anything bring you down.
5. Be vocal and express your thoughts and communicate without any fear or resistance.
6. Pamper and nurture yourself and don’t allow excuses or anything to come in the way.
7. Set boundaries and define them it’s much needed. Especially when many are not in sync with you being in the path of spirituality.
8. Criticism is part of the game take it with a pinch of salt don’t let it bring you down or distort your path.
9. Respect your self identity and accept yourself for who you are.
10. Know that no two paths can be same, so let things be and don’t try to copy someone else. Be authentic to yourself.
11. Remember no one is perfect so it’s okay to falter or make mistakes. There is no major reason to feel like you have failed.
12. It’s good to reach out to a support group or a circle of fellow travellers who are facing similar issues.
13. Ask someone to hold space, especially when going through the tough phases of loneliness it’s always good to know that someone is there holding space.

When certain simple principles are followed and understood it becomes easy and one can just keep moving. Everyone are on the path to know who they are and understand this. Some choose the easy path and some take the tough road. Nevertheless each one have their pre-planned destinations.

So, does the path get lonely?

Yes, it can get lonely but it is all about enduring and knowing that when you are on a path to understanding yourself there may be many people who may not understand or know what exactly you are seeking. Hence many may drop off from the journey which you have picked or chosen. It is okay to accept it and not hold any grudges against such people who drop off.

The choice lies within us, do we wish to make the journey of life a lonely journey or enjoy the silence and taking the experiences of life.

Loneliness is just a state of being lonely at a period of time. When one understands this it becomes easy to cross these crevices of loneliness.
