The growth of the soul does not happen automatically or by chance — it is the result of our conscious effort and pursuit. Spiritual growth is an endless journey of expanding awareness and evolving the soul.
In a broad sense, any new feeling, experience, or insight about life and the self can be seen as part of spiritual growth. In a narrower sense, it refers to an awakening of the self — the ability to see through illusions, perceive reality, recognize that our soul is our true identity, and understand our true purpose.
Spiritual or personal growth holds that human beings are inherently whole; we have never been broken and do not need to be fixed. Yet, during life’s journey, we may encounter disturbances and lose connection with our innate wholeness.
In this process, we learn to recognize and move through the obstacles that hinder our growth, rather than being trapped by their energy. This process of moving through is called spiritual healing, while the unfolding of our life’s potential through it is called spiritual growth. Spiritual growth reconnects us with the innate completeness within ourselves.
Through self-awareness, we explore the deeper roots and patterns of our lives beneath surface symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fear, and confusion. Awareness dissolves these negative symptoms, allowing blocked energy to flow again, awakening creativity and vitality. This, in turn, helps us cultivate nourishing relationships and realize our personal value more fully.
Spiritual growth is thus a journey of understanding one’s inner world — an inward exploration. The “ Heart 2/to Freedom” website helps us discover the wisdom and joy that reside deep within our hearts.
