I feel I need to say something here because my journey has been pretty amazing to me at least and true spirituality is difficult to define.
I believed I was a 'truth seeker' and so I searched for God. The logic was how can I please someone/worship God without knowing a little about Him. I was being helped even as a Mormon in miraculous ways so I had a pretty strong belief that I was being helped by someone or something divine.
At first, most procedures I tried did not seem to work but the few that did were great. Eventually, most techniques I attempted seemed to work to some extent for me. I found I could connect with 'spirit' and get answers but I didn't expect what I found. I did this using prayer, meditation, intuition/psychics/mediumship/channeling etc. and a lot of attempts to connect and get answers. You can leave off the 'woo' and call it intuition and it seems to work just as well but eventually you need to ask the 'big' questions about God, after life, purpose of life, who we really are, etc..
The God/Source, I found doesn't seek worship but us carrying out life plans we established before we came here. These plans mainly work on virtues ----- honesty, integrity, knowledge, wisdom, empathy, forgiveness, etc. Every incarnation we work on a few. So if there are certain 'virtues' that "keep coming up" in your life you need to pay a lot of attention to them ------ that is help to alert you there is work to do in that area.
We also need to recognize we are all connected to all humanity, nature, universe, etc. and the responsibility that involves.
I get great results in many areas premonitions, visions and dreams ---- I don't ask for. When I ask I seem to get again visions, dreams, voices, feelings, etc. and feel good about them but not sure I get 100% accurate answers so try to verify some information using different techniques. I do get a lot of "routine" thoughts that are "very helpful" that come to me ----- forget to pack something (normally my wife's error) inspired on what to say, do, etc.
I think the 'journey' is very important and will probably be different for everyone. I am still on my journey even though I feel I have gained so much already. Meditation, prayer, study, etc. is essential but you don't need to try so hard or so intently that you get overwhelmed ----- pace yourself. Also, trying and failing is ok, just don't get discouraged.
When you are successful and feel like you are 'finding your path' any past failures will seem minor.
Good luck!
