Higher energies, manifestations and inner work – welcome to the world of spiritually guided empowerment. While specific definitions can be subjective, it generally refers to the sense of confidence that people gain when they form an introspective connection with their mind, body and soul, resulting in a deeper understanding of their real selves.
Many might question the difference between spirituality and religion, but the main distinguishing factor lies in the fact that spirituality is defined by an individual practice and the independent process of discovering one’s existential purpose, while religion is associated with a shared set of organised beliefs and practices by a community.
Practices rooted in spiritual guidance have been gaining traction recently. Earlier this year, home-grown mindfulness studio Altered States launched its first Ecstatic Dance session with yoga practitioner, musician and influencer Linda Hao, which saw participants partaking in communal dancing inspired by dance rituals of ancient Greece. Digital marketing and PR representative Marc Braydon from Trapeze Rec. Club, a holistic wellness club in Tanjong Pagar, noted that people have become increasingly open and curious about wellness in all shapes and forms.
“A big part of finding what [types of practices] might suit you best is dipping your toes in as many emerging or familiar forms of wellness [activities],” says Marc. Sessions such as its Full Moon Yoga and Sound Bath classes sell out incredibly quickly, and the range of participants are varied across gender and age.
