5 Signs You're Spiritual AF

This year, spirituality is in.

If you're like me and you've been using healing crystals for years, telling everyone you know about the law of attraction, meditating and loving all things astrology, then you know the weird looks we used to get when others had no idea what we were on about.

Now, everyone from your friends to stars on your favourite shows are talking about their star signs, mercury retrogrades, the full moon effect and smudging their homes with sage. Finally, it's about time you all caught up!

So, how do you know you're the real deal?

Well, to put it frankly, there is no right or wrong way to be spiritual. If anyone tells you otherwise, they have no clue what they're talking about. Although there really is no right way to be spiritual, there are a number of things we all just can't seem to resist. How many of these apply to you?

5 SIGNS YOU'RE SPIRITUAL AF 🌌

1. You know 'The Secret'

If you've seen it, read it or heard it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It was a glorious day when you first found out that YOU are in control of your own destiny. You want a new job? Done. You want some Airpods? Easy! A new relationship? Yep, that's possible too. The feeling of freedom you felt that day was probably similar to a religious awakening.

To go from being a victim of circumstance, which many of us seem to be, to becoming absolutely liberated was most likely a shock to your system. The rush of endorphins probably had you walking into work like 'Bruce Almighty' (I'm guilty of this).

Whether real or a completely reliant on pseudoscience, there's no denying that situations and circumstances soon after began to work in your favour. From a scientific standpoint, you can attribute the changes in your life to you simply believing that you now ruled your life - not the other way around.

Now, whether you still believe in the Law of Attraction or not, that was probably enough to get the wheels in motion and spark your curiosity in spirituality.

2. 'Magic Rocks' aka Healing Crystals

You probably came across them on Instagram one day. Or, maybe your curiosity got the better of you when you were walking by a store that pulled you in by the scents of sandalwood and the promise of a deep awakening. Browsing the collection of healing crystals, you realised these are not just pretty rocks. They promise health, healing, great fortune and protection. Amazing.

I remember speaking to a lady at this lovely little store in Brighton a year ago, asking her about all the effects these crystals can have. To be honest with you, I am both excitable and extremely cynical. I'd spent 30 minutes asking her about every single crystal, its powers and the best ways to use them only to end the conversation with "so, you're telling me that not only do these 'rocks' look beautiful, but they'll also help me get my life together? Right. Okay. I'll think about it and come back" I am so not coming back...

I don't know about you but I definitely went back and bought far too many of them.

3. You're still looking for your 'Twin Flame'

Since you came out the womb, everyone has been banging on and on about Soulmates.

Well, you believe you're one step ahead. You're not looking for a soulmate. You're looking for your twin flame. If the term wasn't enough to pull you in with its sex appeal, after some thorough research (thanks, Google), you found out what twin flames are really about.

Similar to their soulmate counterparts, twin flames push you to grow and ascend beyond your current circumstances. You may have met whilst you were both in a relationship with someone else, but you felt a strong magnetic pull towards each other. You experience a strong telepathic connection and cannot seem to hide anything from the other.

Twin flames can be intense, powerful and incredibly intimate. But, don't let this confuse you with lustful connections. Be honest with yourself. Are you truly growing together or have you been growing apart? If it's the latter, they may be a soulmate, not your true twin flame.

Don't allow yourself to get so caught up on finding your person that you excuse red flags and compromise your wellbeing, mental health and boundaries. That is not your twin flame.

4. 'You are such a Cancer, Karen!'

You probably know your star sign, rising sign, moon sign, the coordinates of all the planets and which planet is retrograding next. You believe the planets and the moon all play a part in our every day life, from how we respond to situations to our general moods. With all this information, it's no wonder you feel like the best new therapist in town, telling people about themselves.

After scanning all the traits of the star signs, you just cannot seem to help yourself from pinning peoples actions to their star signs. 'That is so pisces of you. So dreamy, haha", "you're such a Leo, Tom! You love yourself far too much!" and "of course, you're angry, hot-head, Aries."

Just because you know the main traits of each star sign, please don't fall into the trap of boxing everybody up in their star signs.

Astrology is far more complicated than this. Use it as a reference point, if you like, but do not use it to justify anybody else's sh*tty behaviour, or your own. It is not a get-out-of-jail free card. Ever.

5. Who cares about the weather - tell me all your traumas

Spiritual people tend to be exactly what they claim to be. Completely spaced out. We don't seem to care too much about the news or materialistic things. We want to know the real stuff. The juicy stuff. Tell me about you. What are your traumas? Who hurt you? Have you ever been in therapy? When's the last time you truly felt happy? Tell us about the real you. We want to get to know your soul.

We are not for the fainthearted because we see past the illusion of every day life. Yes, we all have jobs and side hustles, but our fascination lies in human connection. It lies in 5 hour conversations about space, aliens, love, pain, dreams and completely unbroken eye contact. We are here for soul connections.

Unfortunately, if you don't know yourself very well, you may end up in friendships and relationships unfavourable to you and the other party. Simply because someone knows you and understands you, it doesn't mean your souls are tied to each other. We may connect to people easily, but you need to know your limits. Know which relationships are worth pursuing and which have continued simply because you've been providing uncensored healing. Your needs matter too.

Well, that brings us to the end of our list!
