-If you need to manually start SparkSession because you have other configurations and `sparknlp.start()` is not including them, you can manually start the SparkSession:
+ Spark session for Spark NLP can be created (or retrieved) by using `sparknlp.start()`:
+
+```python
+import sparknlp
+spark = sparknlp.start()
+```
