Throughout the journey from birth to death, many people choose
to question life, strive for improvement, seek out knowledge, and search for
the divine. Simply put, this is the essence of spirituality. One's spiritual
practice can take on many forms, because embracing the spiritual is a very
personal pursuit. While many people do relate their spirituality to a
God or Goddess, this quest for the divine, or oneness with the universe,
always springs from within. It doesn't matter where you find your spiritual
path. We are all fundamentally spiritual beings and the essence of that lies
in knowing one's true self and finding a peace that comes from within rather
than the outside world. It is in remembering this that we awaken to our
personal path.
The spiritual path springs forth from a daily routine that reaffirms our
personal connection with a purpose or a way of life. Practicing compassion,
gratitude, appreciation, forgiveness, generosity, meditation, and taking care
of one's wellbeing can all be a part of one's spiritual life. If you are
new to exploring your personal spirituality, remember that this is a process.
You may want to spend a few moments each day giving yourself a spiritual
gift. Try a new form of meditation, visit a sanctuary, or explore a specific
deity.
Accepting the importance of spirituality can be a healthy decision, because a
spiritual practice tends to include habits that promote healthy living. Take
the time to carefully determine the action, thought, and ritual that most
speaks to your soul. Remember that your most profound spiritual experiences
may also come from the simple intricacies that make up your life. See the
interconnectedness of all things. As you explore your "inner
work," you will be walking your spiritual path and feeling your oneness
with the universe.
