Connecting Spirit

Do you have a connection with your spiritual side? Is there something in life that gives you a sense of your place in the universe, and your connectedness to all that is? Maybe you’ve considered getting to know people through a spiritual practice or interest group. Sometimes these kinds of connections can be a valuable support in troubled times. Let’s take time this month to consider the spiritual side of life, and what it has to offer us in our journeys. This challenge offers a chance to connect with people and with our own serenity.

Habit:

Spend time in a special or sacred place
Take 15 minutes to meditate silently or pray

To Do:

Do a good deed
Connect with someone about your spirituality or faith
Consider how spiritual connection can support your journey.

Reflection:

A lot of people enjoyed participating in this challenge. For me, it reaffirmed that my most sacred places are green spaces, and it is connecting with nature that makes me feel the most connected to the rest of life. Also, my daily meditation practice is huge. I am so happy that meditation drew me strongly enough that I was able to play around with it, making several unsuccessful attempts over the better part of a decade to have a consistent daily practice… until finally it just took. And now it’s a part of my daily routine that I would hate to do without.
