Seven cool spiritual gifts for your Christmas wish list

Exploring your spirituality is one of life's most exciting and rewarding experiences. It can give you a real sense of belonging, make you feel more connected, and answer your questions regarding destiny, true love, your soul, and life purpose.

If you've longed to delve deeper into your divinity, but just don't know how to get started on your personal spiritual adventure, why not ask your loved ones to help you kickstart your exploration this Christmas...

Curating a Christmas wish list of cool spiritual gifts that you would love to receive not only gives your family and friends helpful clues to make their seasonal shopping easier, but it also promises to deliver a delightful present that's specially meaningful to you.

1. A spiritual retreat

A relaxing wellbeing retreat getaway is definitely at the top of the Christmas wish list for any spiritual devotee. Whether you're into feeling closer to Source/God/the Universe, you love to commune with nature, or you're a bit of a yoga junkie, escaping to a spiritual retreat can work wonders for your mind, body and spirit.

If you're lucky not to have to consider a festive budget, you can add a luxury spiritual retreat request to your Christmas wish list, and let your loved ones know that you're happy to travel anywhere to enjoy this lavish spiritual feelgood experience.

A more modest Christmas wish list gift is a spiritual retreat that's located closer to home. There are lots of weekend retreats that offer spirituality packages to suit budget and wellbeing preferences.

2. Immersive spiritual experiences

Soul-seekers can unite with like-minded explorers at immersive spiritual workshops all over the UK. Weekend and one-day workshops can teach you the basics that you need to know to get started on your spiritual personal development journey.

You can choose to focus your energy on learning manifestation practices, master mindfulness meditation techniques, or try your hand at Reiki or spiritual healing.

3. Spiritual online courses

If you love the idea of learning more about spirituality hot topics, but currently have too many family and work commitments to consider a weekend away experience, a membership to an online spiritual course offers the perfect Christmas wish list option.

There are 100s of transformational programs that are led by top spiritual teachers and coaches. You can access them online, from the comfort of your home, and connect to a community of people just like you.

4. A Psychic Network reading

To gain valuable insider knowledge of your spiritual path, it's essential to connect to cosmic wisdom. Having a personal one-to-one phone or SMS Psychic Network consultation, with an experienced reader, can open the door between this world and the spiritual realm for you.

A good psychic reading is rather like an enjoyable conversation with someone who is friendly, open-minded and non-judgmental. This empowering, personalised experience can give you insights and inspiration to explore deeper, and leave you feeling spiritually energised and rejuvenated.

5. Symbolic spiritual jewellery

Many people love to receive a beautiful piece of jewellery as a Christmas gift. If bling is your thing, ask your loved ones to shop for a special symbolic spiritual token for you this year.

Striking and aesthetically pleasing spiritual symbols like the lotus flower, the tree of life and the hand of Hamsa each have their own unique meaning. There are also natural crystals and gemstones that are commonly associated with birth months, intentions and energetic healing properties. As jewellery can be customised, you may want to create your own individualised design, or request a piece that is embellished with a specific symbol or semi-precious stone.

6. An energy healing kit

Rather like those gorgeous seasonal gift baskets that are typically filled with foodie treats or luxury bath and body products, a DIY energy healing kit contains all the essentials that you need to clear your space of toxicity, in preparation for your personal spiritual practice.

To help your family and friends create a personalised kit, curate a shopping list that features the following: sage smudge stick bundles and Palo Santo, a large abalone shell (to catch ashes), an assortment of beautiful crystals, a singing bowl and an array of candles. These items can be presented a pretty keepsake box or gift bag.

7. Spiritual books

Every spiritual seeker's journey begins with words of inspiration. Many explorers embark on a spirituality quest after reading a book that motivated them to take the first step on their personal path towards inner growth. The right spiritual book can spark interest and curiosity, and set the ball rolling for someone to begin a journey that leads to the fulfillment of their spiritual destiny.

To start a spiritual library, you can't go wrong with influential books written by leading metaphysical and esoteric writers, such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Dalai Lama, Paolo Coelho or many others that are equally well-known in spiritual circles. Besides the classics, you may also feel inspired to include books of sacred texts from traditional religions on your spiritual Christmas wish list.
