Practical Spirituality may sound like an oxy-moron, but I believe in it. I believe it has the power to drastically change a life. Often the words and phrases used to describe and promote spirituality are dramatic even compelling and this is with good reason. Spirituality cannot be overstated. It is how to live well and it can be applied to all aspects of your life….in a *practical* way.
Start with knowing….knowing that you are not alone. Believe that everything you do is done while co-creating with a higher power. This is the truth. The Universe has your back! Yes there will be difficult times, times where you must stretch and grow. And knowing that you are helped and loved well beyond measure will keep you sane and get you through. It’s not just a fanciful notion.
Move on to practice….practice by taking time for yourself each day to get quiet and become still. Just listen to your breath, give thanks and look for any insights that pop into your head. Your mind may race and that is ok, but you should listen for the still, small voice that wants to guide you to your greatest good.
Finally, you must act. Act on your intuitions and insights. Go with your gut. Follow your heart. Yes I realize the last two there are clichés but I believe these words to be true. Following your heart is the only way you can truly be happy. Do what you do because you love it, because it enlivens you! This will bring you the best kind of wealth. This is how to live well.
