I’m sure you’ve heard of soul evolution and spiritual development. But what exactly are they? Do we really need to evolve spiritually? And if so, what are some things we can do to encourage soul growth? Let’s explore.
What Is Soul Evolution?
In a nutshell, soul evolution is the process of growing and expanding spiritually. As we evolve spiritually, we become more attuned to our higher selves and the divine source of energy that created us. We become more wise, compassionate, and loving. We also become better able to create the life we want and manifest our desires. Watch my video on manifestation here or my video on How Do I Become An Energy Worker here.
Why bother evolving spiritually, you might ask? Well, there are a few reasons. For one thing, it’s simply part of the natural cycle of life. Just as our physical bodies grow and change over time, so too do our souls. Additionally, as we evolve spiritually, we become better equipped to deal with the challenges of life. We also become happier and more fulfilled as we connect with our true purpose and destiny.

Do These Things For Soul Evolution & Growth
So how do we go about evolving spiritually? There are many things we can do to encourage soul growth, but here are a few of my favorites:
1) Spend time in nature. There’s something about being in nature that helps us connect with the divine source of energy that created us. When we’re surrounded by the beauty of nature, it’s easier to remember that we too are beautiful and perfect just as we are. Make it a point to spend time in nature every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Take a walk in the park, sit under a tree, or watch the sunset. Check out my video on Forest Bathing here for the hottest tips.
2) Meditate regularly. Meditation is one of the quickest and easiest ways to connect with our higher selves and expand our consciousness. It allows us to quiet our minds and tap into a deeper level of wisdom and understanding. I recommend meditating for at least 15 minutes each day, but you can start small if you need to get into the swing of things, like 3-5 minutes. If you’re new to meditation, there are plenty of resources available online or at your local library to help you get started. Here are My 3 Meditation Essentials.

3) Be mindful of your thoughts and words. Our thoughts and words create our reality, so it’s important to be mindful of what we’re thinking and saying throughout the day. Pay attention to your self-talk and make an effort to speak kindly to yourself and others. Fill your mind with positive thoughts, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly your life begins to change for the better.
4) Be grateful for everything in your life – even the difficult stuff. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have for encouraging soul growth. When we’re grateful for everything in our lives—both the good and the bad—we open ourselves up to receive even more blessings from the universe. So next time you’re feeling down, make a list of all the things you’re grateful for in your life—you’ll be surprised at how quickly your mood will improve!

5] Practice random acts of kindness. Kindness is another powerful tool for encouraging soul growth because it helps us feel more connected to others—and when we feel connected, we feel happier. So make it a point to perform at least one act of kindness each day, whether it’s holding the door open for someone, letting someone go ahead of you in line, or simply smiling at a stranger. You’ll be amazed at how good it makes you feel! And in that bent do listen to a very powerfully insightful conversation with Katherine Jansen Byrkit – On Intrinsic Self Worth episode #39.

It’s a lifelong journey and never too late to start. Dive in and get contemplative with yourself.
