What Does It Mean to Be Spiritual?
Let's first say what 'spiritual' is not: it is not religiosity. It is far more than that.
You CAN be Religious and Spiritual. Many people are.
You CAN be Spiritual and not Religious.
You CAN be Religious and not Spiritual at all.
Spirituality is that instinct and yearning for something more-and also the inner knowing that where you are right now is right where you should be. It is what keeps you sane inspite of insanity in the world around you. It is the knowing that every moment and every event is a spiritual event. Religiosity is your beliefs in a higher power. Your spirituality is what you do with those beliefs-who you are because of those beliefs. It is about compassion, kindness and love.
There will be many more posts and webpages about this with tons of guidance about living a spiritual life!
Be sure and take a look at the spiritual needs pages. We all have spiritual needs, and this is one way to define spirituality.
I have to admit that I've kind of fallen off the wagon recently. I've been so tied to the business and 'have to'
things in my life, that I've let myself and my own practices take a back seat. This is part of why these pages are so important. I know I'm not alone in this AND these pages are my reminders, also! I hope you enjoy them.
It has been said that your feelings about something can be broken down into two basic aspects: Fear or Love
If you have love, you cannot fear. If you have fear, you cannot love.
Leading A Spiritual Life Remember to Remember Yourself
Are you looking for an easy and fun way to add a bit of spirituality to your life?
It seems the busier I get, the less I want to take care of myself. I'm way too focused on my 'to do' list that I can't let go and do the right thing. Just choosing one card a day helps me to stay on track, though. It is simple and so helpful.
Another great reminder is to surround yourself with little 'reminders.' Why not use special bookmark? They're simple and yet a little fancy. The beauty is in the details!
