We are not human beings having a spirtual experience...we are spiritual beings having a human experience. - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Spirituality can refer to an ultimate reality or transcendent dimension of the world;an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his or her being, or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; such practices often lead to an experience of connectedness with a larger reality: a more comprehensive self; other individuals or the human community; nature or the cosmos; or the divine realm. Spirituality is often experienced as a source of inspiration or orientation in life. It can encompass belief in immaterial realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. (Lao Tzu). If you are reading this blog, you have taken the first step to discovery on your spiritual path= searching. The method I use to understand my searching is meditation. Meditation allows me to slow my mind and body long enough to hear what I need to hear. Ask a question and be still..you'll be surprised at the answer...more importantly you'll be amazed at where the answer comes from!
