Cannabis is a flowering herb, which is also referred to as hemp or marijuana. Of late, it has been in the limelight and is getting legalized in many parts of the world, but still, some folks are not that familiar with this ‘people’s plant’. Not all are aware that there is a connection between spirituality and cannabis. These plants are mainly used for spiritual awakening.

Cannabis plants have a history for being used for spirituality in many continents. Many western countries are not aware that several ancient cultures realized the value of marijuana as an aide for spiritual practice. Whether you want to open your heart or you are looking for spirituality thoughts, hemp can help you to get all these.

No matter how long it takes, you should always pay attention and learn how this is helpful in healing and relaxing. Cannabis is not a replacement for meditation, yoga or exercise.

Many religious groups like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism are already using cannabis for their spiritual activities. To worship Lord Shiva, cannabis is used in some parts of the world as this herb includes spiritual activities, which is most liked by God Shiva.  As a part of their spiritual practice (Sadhana), in some places, this is consumed by sadhus (wandering ascetics), as we all know, Shivratri is a widely celebrated festival. During this festival season, Bhang, which is prepared using the cannabis plant, is mainly offered to the statues and pictures of Shiva.

People who use cannabis always put it in this way.  They feel like they are more balanced, relaxed, and concentrated.  This herb will help to increase the energy of your body.  Do not consider this simply as a physical fitness.  The reason behind considering this as a ‘sacred herb’ is because it expands your level of consciousness.  After taking a puff, you will notice major changes in the body parts such as stomach, heart, throat and your feelings as well.

Do you know the energy portals of your body? Does that sound strange? Yes, we all have energy portals in our physical and energetic bodies called “Chakra”. We all are aware of the word and it is called “Wheel”. There’s a study that our backbone has totally 7 chakras. If you want to feel this in reality, start concentrating on your body.

The spiritual aspects of this wonder plant are regarded to be profound and thoughtful in South Asia.
