In the era of widespread social media use, millions of people from various cultures and
backgrounds use social media platforms to express and show their many cultural differences. An
example that comes to mind is the use of TikTok to discuss and/or educate others on the spiritual
practices of astrology, Tarot readings, and the use of crystals, cleansing rituals, and/or herbs to
in-tune oneself into a state of protection and inner peace. While not everyone follows these
spiritual practices, I have found through observation of these practices that there is a direct
correlation between these cultural expressions with an individual’s physical, emotional, and
spiritual wellness. Practices like this have grown in popularity as more people find comfort in
connecting with nature and the universe to restore inner peace and clarity. As social media
continues to explode in popularity, exposure to different cultural or spiritual practices not only
helps to educate others but allows valuable insight into how different beliefs and rituals are used
to help balance the mind and body to achieve overall wellness.
