In the beginning of our spiritual journey we cannot differenciate between spirit and soul - it is only with experience can we distinguish the two. But even with long experience some cannot tell the difference, and get caught in what they term "spirituality" which is really "soulishness".
How can we tell the two? With wise counsel from others who are truely spiritual.
A recommendation for reading is: Sould and Spirit by Watchmann Nee, and also Soul and Spirit by Jesse Penn-Lewis.
And let's not forget much prayer of the heart!

A soul cannot know peace unless he prays for his enemies
If you love truth, become a lover of silence - St Isaac the Syrian
Present Moment Living
If I did not suffer minute by minute it would be impossible for me to be patient; but I seek only the present moment, I forget the past and take good care not to anticipate the future. If we grow disheartened, if we sometimes despair it's because we have been dwelling on the past or living in the future.
