SPIRITUALITY~ and a bit about "my" chat


If you google the definition of Spirituality you will find seemingly endless definitions.

We are ALL on a Spiritual Journey on this EarthWalk when we draw our first Breath whether we are aware of it or not ~ and there are Many who believe in a Far Greater "picture" of ourSelves than "merely" this particular EarthWalk.

For me? I have Always been a "Seeker". Questions have always been swirling around in this ole brain of mine. Probably yours as well. At some point my questions became more introspective and the search opened New and Limitless "worlds" and Answers to discover that were WithIn!!
We "carry" the Wisdom of the Ancients/Ancestors within and finding that "access" sort of sums up MY Spiritual Journey!

I have Learned to

~Ground/Center/Balance~although it seems I "forget" this all too often!

~LISTEN~ this one is HUGE for me!! In each and every moment of the NOW there are Lessons to be (re-)Learned. And Often Now when I am encountering some difficulty in ME, my Life/my Relationships~ I ask mySelf~
"What is My Lesson?"
"What am I missing here?"

~Heal~ a slow process at times but I am Ever Learning!

In "my" Spirituality Chat ( I specifically enclose the word in quotes as Really?? It is OUR Chat! ) we come together for an impossibly "short" hour and Share. We Learn and Grow Together as a Group & Individually.
In past chats we have discussed topics such as
Self Talk
Gratitude
Grounding
Balance
"Spirit" Guides
Asking ourSelves the question~ "What is MY Purpose?"
Mindfulness
Acceptance.... the list goes on and on.

If discovering yourSelf, Healing, Growing as the JOYful person You may CHOOSE to BE! sounds like something that interests you by all means PLEASE join us??

Note: I generally post in chat announcements (shooting for mid-week ) a link for discussion in the upcoming chat.

Brightest Blessings
PEACE

I think a lot of what you're saying is very helpful and healing and all personal spirituality is a great thing. I don't think spirituality can be the same for any two people.

My spirituality personally centers around meditation (not necessarily quieting the mind, using a mantra and letting thoughts come but going back to the mantra effortlessly), balance and duality (I believe duality is the core nature of life ex.... life and death, night and day, god and devil (as an idea), dark and light, yin and yang), most spirituality usually comes back to duality which I believe creates true balance. I'm also very into the idea of universal human contentedness and a strong connection with nature.

That's my personal spirituality which I'm exploring everyday and it plays an important part in my life. I love when people have their own unique and independent spirituality. Whatever works for you!
