Spirituality

Definition: Spirituality refers to an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; the deepest values and meanings by which a person lives; or the connectedness with a larger reality yielding a more comprehensive self.  Spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, and contemplation, are intended to   develop an individual’s inner life with humanity, nature, the cosmos, or the divine realm. 

Each and every one of us have an aspect of ourselves that is invisible but still very real.  It is the Spirit or Soul within us that incessantly yearns for a connection, wanting to become the dominant force in our daily lives.  As we walk through life and yield to our deepest feelings, hunches, and memories, we often begin to experience conflict with what we have been taught since birth.  The confusion and possible turmoil from this experience is one of the biggest activators for us to rediscover ourselves. It motivates us to unplug from any belief systems that have been passed down or imprinted upon us, so we can redevelop our own truths and live in harmony with our Higher Selves.

Typically traumatic events can bring this about such as the loss of a loved one, a car accident, or serious illness.  When we can experience these challenging events in our life through a more spiritual lens, our pain is lessened and our life becomes far more fulfilling.  Life begins to make sense and w received answers that solidly provide us direction and solace.
