A New Spiritual Revolution

In recent years, spirituality has taken an important turn, moving away from conventional beliefs to adopt new forms more focused on personal wellbeing and the expansion of consciousness. A recent study conducted by the Wake Up Institute, created by Rafa Puertas and Alex Guerra, has highlighted this transformation by interviewing more than 2,000 people and analyzing how they perceive spirituality today.

STUDY ON SPIRITUALITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Definition of New Age Spirituality

During a talk between the co-founders, Rafa Puertas mentions: “Spirituality today has almost nothing to do with what was thought a few years ago”. The study confirms that new generations are reinterpreting what it means to be spiritual, moving away from traditional religions and focusing more on personal development, connection with oneself and with the universe.

For his part, Alex Guerra points out that this change has boosted interest in practices such as meditation, mindfulness and other forms of introspection that help people connect with something greater without having to follow the dogmas of a particular religion.

Study Highlights

The survey of more than 2,000 people reveals that a large proportion of respondents associate spirituality with aspects such as:

• Self-knowledge: 70% link spirituality to the process of discovering who they really are, beyond external labels.
• Universal Connection: 65% associate spirituality with a deep connection to nature, the universe and other living beings.
• Daily Practices: More than 50% of the respondents mentioned that they engage in some daily spiritual practice, such as meditation, yoga or simply contemplation.

These data point to a trend towards a more personalized spirituality that is less tied to institutions, where people are looking for tools to help them improve their daily lives and emotional well-being.

The New Era and its Implications

Rafa and Alex agree that New Age spirituality is not just a fad, but a reflection of a deeper shift in collective consciousness. The Wake Up Institute has been a pioneer in exploring these new forms of spirituality, offering workshops and resources to those seeking to deepen their self-knowledge and personal development.

In their talk, the co-founders also emphasize that while this modern spirituality is very appealing, it is not without its challenges. Information overload on the internet has led to some confusion about what it really means to be spiritual today, and the Wake Up Institute study seeks to offer clarity, providing a more organized framework for those who want to explore this path.

Conclusion

The Wake Up Institute’s study of spirituality today gives us a comprehensive view of how this concept is changing. New Age spirituality is more inclusive, personalized and practical, with a focus on individual well-being and connection to something higher. As more people join this movement, the Wake Up Institute will continue to be an important source of support and knowledge for all those who wish to live more consciously and fully.
