Do you often feel stressed, overwhelmed or randomly zone out in the middle of a meeting? Don’t ignore these signs. It’s your body and soul calling for help! In a fast-paced life where hustle culture is highly appreciated, we often spend days staring at our phone screens, earning, learning or wondering how all the people on social media are so happy and content all the time. Moreover, finding peace in modern times has become a job that most people are failing to execute.
Well, much like plants, we need the right resources and enough room to bloom and grow into the best version of ourselves. People often say that we should spend at least fifteen to twenty minutes building a bond with ourselves. They also say that it is important to rejuvenate our soul by spending quality time in nature. However, that can be beneficial in the short term but for the long term, you would need to hit the ‘reset’ button and inculcate some healthy habits that can give you peace and the space you need to grow.
Raghav, the host at Divine Tirthan truly appreciates the joy of slow living. He understands the need to detoxify our soul occasionally and maintain the right balance of work and play. ‘Life can only make sense when you’ve found your purpose and tasted the true essence of living’- he says. Keeping this in mind, he has paired up with Himanshoo sir and Aruna ma’am, and together they organize several sessions regarding spiritual healing at Divine Tirthan. Attending our spiritual retreats can help you ground yourself, allow you to slow down, tune into your inner selves, find balance amidst the chaos and reconnect with nature at Divine Tirthan.

The Healing Power and Benefits of Spirituality Today
Although spirituality is often confused with religion, the two are very different. Spirituality is about mindfulness, self-awareness, and creating a connection with the universe and something larger than ourselves. Practices such as meditation, yoga, spending time in nature and expressing gratitude are some proven methods that aid in reducing stress, improving emotional well-being, and fostering a deeper connection with the present moment. It helps us to know ourselves better, embrace who we are as a person and face life’s challenges with resilience.
The Relevance of Spirituality in Modern Life
In modern life, spirituality has several benefits that can help in enhancing the overall well-being and personal growth. Firstly, it fosters a sense of connection and helps us to feel part of something greater. This interconnectedness can reduce feelings of loneliness, isolation and promote a sense of community.
Spirituality can encourage mindfulness, self-reflection, and allow us to understand our thoughts and emotions. This self-awareness can lead to improved emotional regulation and resilience in the face of stress. Many people find that engaging in spiritual practices, such as meditation or prayer, provides a calming effect, thereby reducing anxiety and enhancing mental clarity. Moreover, spirituality often emphasizes values such as compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness, which can lead to healthier relationships and a more positive outlook on life. By cultivating these qualities we can create more harmonious environments, both personally and socially.
