The continual practice of spiritual principles produces abilities to experience life in a more meaningful and enjoyable way. Self-awareness, peace of mind, freedom from fear, the ability to focus, loss of resentments, greater connections to others and nature, and the ability to love more unconditionally are some of the signs that characterize a spiritual awakening.
