Today I’m sharing my favorite positive spiritual growth quotes. Use them for meditation, as journaling prompts, or whenever you need a bit of inspiration. I hope they bring you comfort!

Spiritual Growth Meaning

Simply put, spiritual growth happens when you pursue your connection with your own spirit.

If you embrace the knowledge that there’s more to you than your physical body and what you can gather with your five senses, then you’re already experiencing spiritual growth!

When you look at life through this broader lens, it changes your perception of everything, from your relationships to your challenges and blessings.

It’s important to know that spiritual growth is a continual process that you will never complete; so don’t put any pressure on yourself.  Think of it as a practice that will allow you to continually upgrade your world.

The material world is all feminine. The feminine engergy makes the non-manifest, manifest. So even men (are of the feminine energy). We have to relinquish our ideas of gender in the conventional sense. This has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with energy. So feminine energy is what creates and allows anything which is non-manifest, like an idea, to come into form, into being, to be born. All that we experience in the world around us, absolutely everything (is feminine energy). The only way that anything exists is through the feminine force.
