Deepen my spirituality

some spiritual speakers have noted many people going thru this and suggest that it is a time to meditate, when things are clearer, or perhaps that is when we have awakened from important dreams it’s a good time to integrate it. I got a reiki attunement about 2 months ago and was able to sleep until 5:30 or 6 again.

I guess I need to get up and meditate again as I am beginning to wake up early in the morning again. Anyone else going thru similar times?

This is going well.

I’ve had a lot of stops and starts with regards to my spirituality. I never really found a religion or philosophy that really coincides with my personal beliefs. Without something to follow, I just end up wandering aimlessly, or just ignoring my spirituality entirely.

I thought that in coming to Japan I would start to research Buddhism a little more. But I’ve started to learn a bit more about Shintoism and I really like the philosophy behind it.

I was thinking that it didn’t make much sense to remove this from my list. In order to keep doing it, I have to keep my focus on it. The reminders have helped me to center myself. I’m not giving them up!

Hokey title, I know, but I have a very laid-back, cool relationship with a higher power of my understanding. That has given me the freedom to feel connected without having to be holier than thou, or to act as if I have the world all figured out. It’s simply given me more peace and my life (and more access to it) than I’ve ever had before.

It seems that for me, pain and hardship is what takes me deeper into my spirituality. It certainly is what’s doing it now, as I get over a recent breakup. I now realize that my spiritual practice, prayer, meditation, is the glue. It’s what gives me strength to face the challenges. To get on with life. I want to hold onto this awareness, because this process is so painful, I always forget its value.

This is going to be an life goal . I am doing ok i guess. I am meditating regularly , but i soon want to strecth this and may end up as an aol teacher soon

To me, spirituality isn’t about wearing a cross, rosary, beads or whatever, it’s not about how others percieve you, it’s about how you percieve the world.

This is one of my oldest goals on 43things and I’m happy to mark it done.
I’ll never stop growing, I’ll never stop learning, but I know I’m on the right path.

I just got my latest Paulo Coelho book – ‘The Devil and Miss Prym’, it’s a story of finding the answer of wether humans, in essence, are good or evil.
His books never fail to change my perspective for the better.
I always feel more connected to myself, others and the world.

All my life I have been raised in a Christian household, I do identify myself as a Christian. At this point in my life, I enjoy learning about other religions to appreciate my spirituality. Though I read the Bible and pray every day, I want to explore Judaism and other religions that I am not familiar with. I would love to go to a Buddhist Temple and have other religious experiences that are not Christian just to expand my horizon. God is with us. He has allowed all of these spiritual religions to exist for us to choose what we feel comfortable in participating in. I enjoy sharing my spiritual walk with others because I grow every day in my spirituality.
