Demi Lovato is continuing her year of loving herself and growing from within.

In a new series of photos posted to Instagram, the "Sorry, Not Sorry" singer posted about getting baptized in Israel and connecting to her spiritual roots.

"There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now," she went on. "Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life."

Lovato said the trip has been important for "my well-being, my heart, and my soul."
