I don't think it encompasses necessarily a lot of the more superficial trends that we see in wellness. I think that it can incorporate things like diet, it can incorporate things like mental health. It can incorporate things like nontraditional practices that we do for our bodies and our minds. But at its core, spiritual wellness is really about coming home to ourselves. It's really about discovering who we are in the context of this greater world

Thank you so much for that. Hana. I definitely agree that spirituality can get a bit of a bad rap and come off as woo woo. But hopefully as more content creators like yourself, keep putting out information and resources. People can feel more comfortable learning and speaking to each other about their spiritual journeys. So speaking of spiritual journeys, if someone was interested in starting that journey and connecting with their spiritual side, what would you recommend as their first steps

Such a good question, Christine. So I think the first step is to really get focused on why you want to embark on this journey. Why are you feeling called to dive into the spiritual work? For me, it it was something really simple. There was something that I wanted that I had absolutely no idea how I could possibly in the universe ever get it. And that's what really spurred me on this spiritual journey was this wanting and this desire

But it almost feels too simple to actually work. But sometimes other simplest things have the greatest impact. So definitely agree with the meditation advice. So this year has been executed exhausting and stressful for all of us. What are your recommendations for raising your vibration? To bring more positive energy into your life

It's so true. This year has been insane for all of us. And I think now more than ever, people are really looking towards spiritual teachings as a way to make sense of the world as it stands. So my number one piece of of advice for raising your vibration, and I think this is going to sound contradictory, but hear me out for a minute is to really sit with what you're feeling

I really like the idea of sitting with your feelings, feeling it out. And then when you're ready, having that positive affirmation and trying to see it from a positive angle and the gratitude as well. I think that's a really great advice for people who are trying to raise their energetic level during this crazy year. So thank you for that. Let's talk a little bit for our last question about astrology

It's the perfect way to kind of get a comprehensive astrology education at a very affordable price point. Now, for people who are just like, I just want to understand what astrology is. I just want the basics. I really recommend looking up a couple of different resources. So I think that Alisa Kelly, who is on Instagram. She is amazing. She has a lot of great tools, as does Natalia Benson

Well, Hannah, thank you so much for chatting with me today. Your answers were so thoughtful and insightful, and I think they've been really helpful for people who are interested in starting their spiritual journey or continuing their spiritual journey and learning more about meditation and astrology. So before we jump off, why don't you tell everybody where they can find you and how they can connect with you and take a minute to just plug yourself
