Explain Holy Trinity and how does this relate to ones spiritual journey, what even are christian practices?
I was born into it but long abandoned it tho i respect Meister Eckhart teachings , they are a mix of eastern with christian thought.

The Trinity is real because it's in the fucking Bible, you nerds. The Holy Spirit appears numerous times throughout the Old Testament, from Genesis to Kings. God the Father is, of course present as God Himself in the Old Testament. And Jesus is obviously God, but he also claims he's distinct from both the Father and the Spirit.

So we have these three entities that seem to be God, but Judaism is strictly, pointedly monotheistic. How is this possible? That's where the Trinity comes from. It's not some cute invention, it's an attempt to make sense of the actual events the Bible describes. It's probably inadequate and doesn't fully grasp just what God is like, but that's true of every human attempt to comprehend God.
