The Importance of Spiritual Self-Care for Women




The Importance of Spiritual Self-Care for Women
By Julie Hines, RMT, BMsc

In a world where women are expected to wear countless hats—mother, partner, friend, professional, caregiver—it’s easy to forget the most important relationship of all: the one with ourselves. Spiritual self-care is more than just a buzzword; it’s a lifeline. It’s the soul’s way of whispering, "Come back to me."

What Is Spiritual Self-Care?

Spiritual self-care is the intentional practice of nourishing your inner world. It goes beyond bubble baths and yoga sessions (though those are wonderful too!) and dives deeper into connection—connection with your higher self, your intuition, and the divine energy that flows through all things. It's about listening to your inner voice, honoring your sacred truth, and making space for stillness and reflection.

Why Women Need It Now More Than Ever

Women are natural nurturers, but often we nurture everyone but ourselves. We carry the weight of expectations, emotional labor, and the pressure to always “keep it together.” This constant giving can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a deep disconnection from who we are beneath the roles.

Spiritual self-care helps us:

- Reclaim our energy: It’s easy to give our power away without realizing it. Spiritual practices help us call it back.

- Find clarity: In the stillness, we receive divine guidance and insight we often miss in the busyness of life.

- Feel grounded: When the world feels chaotic, our spiritual anchor keeps us centered and strong.
- Heal old wounds: Spiritual care brings awareness to the areas of our soul that need light, compassion, and forgiveness.

How I Support Women on Their Journey

As a Registered Massage Therapist with over 25 years of experience and a background in energy healing, I offer a safe and sacred space for women to reconnect with themselves. My services include:

- Massage Therapy (including prenatal and postnatal) to release tension, promote relaxation, and restore balance.

- Energy Healing & Clearing to help remove energetic blockages and support emotional and spiritual release.

- Spiritual Empowerment Sessions to guide women in aligning with their inner truth, power, and divine purpose.

- Workshops & Gatherings to build community and explore soul growth in supportive, heart-centered ways.

Practices You Can Start Today

Here are a few ways to begin nurturing your spirit:

- Create sacred space: Even a corner of your home can become your sanctuary. Fill it with candles, crystals, affirmations, or anything that speaks to your soul.

- Daily check-ins: Ask yourself each morning, 

What does my spirit need today?

- Journaling: Let your thoughts, dreams, and feelings flow freely. Clarity often arrives through the pen.

- Meditation and breathwork: Just five minutes a day can bring peace and perspective.

- Spend time in nature: Let the Earth hold you and remind you of your sacredness.

- Book a session: Sometimes we need support in our journey. Receiving care is a beautiful act of self-love.

 It’s Not Selfish—It’s Sacred

Choosing to care for your spirit isn’t a luxury
it’s a necessity. When you tend to your inner world, everything in your outer world begins to shift. You become a more present mother, a more empowered woman, and a clearer channel for love and purpose.

Spiritual self-care isn’t about escaping life—it’s about returning to it with more grace, clarity, and authenticity.

So to all the women out there: your soul has been whispering. It’s time to listen.

Breaking Free from Division: A Call to Unite in Love

  Breaking Free from Division: A Call to Unite in Love Everywhere we turn, the world feels like it’s unraveling. War, political upheaval, and social unrest dominate the headlines. Countries clash over resources and power, governments crumble under corruption, and society is increasingly divided into factions—left versus right, the elite versus the working class, one country against another. It’s a carefully orchestrated chaos, keeping humanity distracted and disconnected from what truly matters. We’re being fed a constant stream of fear, anger, and outrage, designed to keep us in a state of division. But what if we’re missing the bigger picture? What if, beneath all of this turmoil, the universe is orchestrating something far greater?   It may not seem like it, but everything is unfolding exactly as it should. The universe doesn’t make mistakes. Humanity is being pushed—forced—to evolve. Every event, every leader, and every moment of tension is part of a much larger plan....

How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad

  How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad It’s no secret—the world feels like it’s spinning out of control. Everywhere you look, there’s conflict, corruption, division, and a sense of unease hanging in the air. Social media amplifies every crisis, and the never-ending news cycle keeps feeding us chaos. For empaths, lightworkers, and those who simply feel deeply, it can feel like an unbearable weight. So how do you navigate this madness without letting it consume you? 1. Recognize What You Can and Cannot Control You can’t single-handedly fix the world, but you can control how you respond to it. Focus your energy on what is within your reach—your thoughts, actions, and the energy you bring into the world. When you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and ask yourself: Is this something I can change? If not, allow yourself to release it. 2. Limit Exposure to Negativity Doomscrolling through social media or watching hours of news won’t make the world better—it will only drain you. Be ...

I Took the Road Less Traveled—Now I Don’t Know Where the F*ck I Am (Spiritually Speaking)

I Took the Road Less Traveled—Now I Don’t Know Where the F*ck I Am (Spiritually Speaking) At some point in my spiritual journey probably during a full moon, while clutching a chunk of amethyst and sobbing into a cup of herbal tea—I decided to take the road less traveled. You know the one. It’s not on Google Maps. There are no signs, no gas stations, and definitely no Starbucks. Just vibes. Cosmic ones. I thought it was going to be all love, light, and ascension codes. Instead, it’s been more like: “Where am I?” “What dimension is this?” “Why does my shadow keep yelling at me?” “Am I healing… or just hallucinating on cacao again?” The road less traveled is basically a spiritual back alley with detours through your childhood trauma, several ego deaths (RIP to the old me—again), and confusing downloads that come in at 3 a.m. when you're just trying to sleep but your guides are like, “Wake up, beloved, you must journal.” Don’t get me wrong. There’s beauty in this chaos. There are momen...
