Everyday Spirituality

Everyday spirituality is found within all of us.  From your first day on this earth you have been influenced by the ideas of society telling you what kind of person you should be.  These ideas and life events molded and shaped you into who you are today.   Your inner spirit has taken a back seat crowded out by all these ideas and notions of who you are and how to live your life. 

Seeing Spirituality Everyday

Look past the physical, look beyond it into each individual’s spiritual center.  Use your awareness to recognize it in all beings.  The best way to begin is to set the mood by just think of the people and things that make you happy:



your loved ones



the sounds of happy children 



the sounds of nature on a quiet spring day



a neighborly act of kindness



a peaceful time for meditatiom



reading a good book or inspirational story 



listening to your favorite music





 You can and will experience an “aaah haaa” moment when you come to rediscover your own inner spirituality and that of the world around you.   If you recognize all the good in your life and give it attention and recognition you will experience the spirituality that surrounds you everyday.

Spirituality is all around you, what is spirituality?  I like this definition of spirituality: “Spirituality is that which relates to or affects the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.”  Spirituality touches that part of you that is not dependant on material things or physical comforts.

You can bring spirituality into your everyday life.  You can find it in everyone you encounter and everywhere you go.  We are all spiritual beings deep within, if you look beyond the trappings of this material world.  If you do this you will see spirituality in your everyday life.

Build Your Awareness of Everyday Spirituality

Make a note to yourself that as you go through everyday tasks and events you will remember to find the spiritual aspects of whatever it is you are doing.  Bring your awareness into the here and now, you are not thinking ahead or thinking of what has past, you are in the moment.  Practicing being completely in the moment is an excellent way to build your awareness of spirit.

Choosing to see the good in all people and things is the way to tune into your spirit within.  You will no doubt encounter people that make it difficult to recognize their inner spirit.   Everyone has a spiritual center; it is just that some are not ready to open to that part of their being yet.  But your recognition of it and the way you treat that individual can help open that door for them if only a little bit, you have made a difference in that person’s life.

Listen to the voice within the voice of your inner spirit and it will guide you to take right action every time.

Live Your Best Life Now!

Make today a new beginning live in and through your spiritual center.  Remember the small things in life that truly make you smile.  When you find yourself in a negative frame of mind just recall the things that make you happy.  The positive events and people in your life will help diminish the affects of that negativity.

It is not an easy task but with practice it will become second nature and you will gain so much.  Your life will start to evolve into the life you’ve dreamed of.  Take one step at a time build your awareness of everyday spirituality by recognizing it in the people and things around you. 

Start living your best life now, start recognizing the spirit in you, and the spirituality that surrounds you.

About the Author:

I’ve always wanted to know “why” am I here what is the purpose of my being on this earth in this body. In the 70s, with the big “new age” movement going on, there were plenty of new resources to helped answer my questions, for me the philosophy made sense. Authors were writing books based on the new age thinking that body, mind, and spirit are connected. Most of these “new age” self-help authors are to this day still as popular as ever.



Connecting with your Spiritual Source

In the Western world we have moved further and further away from the examination of mental processes and how they impact upon the way in which our lives unfold.  This can be seen in many areas of our lives; we abrogate responsibility for how we feel to circumstances, other people - anything and everything other than ourselves and how we think. 

                                                                                    

Take health, for example.  We constantly look for a physical cause and not a mental one, when in fact both physical and mental forces are likely to be working together to effect a physical symptom.  Depression can be caused just as easily by how you think about things as by a chemical trigger in your brain.  The two causes tend to be intertwined.  But it is less painful to go to the doctor for pills than it is to take the time to introspect and examine ones thoughts and feelings or to face the reality of one’s circumstances; or is it less painful?  In the short term perhaps this is the case, but in the long term I very much doubt it.

 

And if we ignore the mental, we completely bury the spiritual.  We all too easily close our minds off to this seemingly intangible aspect of the universe in which we reside.  And yet, we do pay some lip service to spiritual wisdom.  Most of us accept the truth in the quotes from the ancient Greeks, Buddha or other sages.  Even those who are “non-believers” are happy to listen to such pearls of wisdom and accept them as the truth, whilst closing their minds to the real source of such wisdom.

 

In the Eastern world spirituality has been preserved throughout the centuries.  And in the West, there is clearly a gradual return of spiritual awareness which can be seen in the volume of contemporary books being written on the subject and also the content of numerous television documentaries. I myself notice it in the growing number of people who purchase hypnosis downloads and hypnosis recordings relating to matters of spirituality.

 

Why is it so important that we grow in spiritual awareness?  We are all multidimensional beings.  We are mind, body and spirit.  Everything in life is made up of energy and has its own energy frequency.  Everything and everyone has their own electromagnetic field.  We send out electrical frequencies through our very thoughts and we correspondingly magnetize electrical frequencies into our lives. 

 

You can choose to add more power to your thoughts as you tap into the power of the universe.  Some people refer to this as the collective unconscious, others think of it more in terms of a higher being.  This is not at cross purposes with any religion or faith you may have.  Every religion agrees that there is a higher being, a source of all things, and you can approach spirituality in the light of your particular faith.  If you are not of any particular religion you can apply spirituality in a manner which is comfortable to you - be it thinking in terms of the collective unconscious, or a higher being.

 

Most of us are very set in our beliefs and do not question things enough.  People are far more comfortable seeking a physical cause as opposed to a psychological one - let alone a spiritual one.  Yet to ignore your spirit being, you ignore the real you.  Your spirit is where your inner wisdom comes from.  It is your higher self.  You can easily tap into your spiritual side, and in so doing you will become more aligned and in tune with source, with the higher you.

 

There are certain laws of the universe which, once you are aware of them, you can choose to consciously apply.  Sometimes this is called cosmic ordering.  From a scientific viewpoint, your thoughts have energy, and as you focus on something and energize that thought with a lot of emotion and are consistent in your thoughts, you will magnetize what you want into your reality.  From a spiritual perspective, as you ask the universe, the collective unconscious, the higher source for something, and believe that it will be provided, and are again consistent in your thoughts, the universe will make it happen.

 

A journey into spirituality will allow you to feel more in tune with your higher self, to feel aligned with source.  You will feel that you can open your mind more to your inner wisdom and to the wisdom of the universe; you will find your true self, and your purpose and inspiration in life.  As you pay attention to your spirit self and acknowledge who you really are you will experience an incredible feeling of freedom, inspiration and purpose in your life.

 

As you allow yourself to entertain the realms of spirituality you will feel that you have moved from damp darkness into warm bright sunlight.
