I lost my spirituality back in June, after being an incredibly spiritual person. It just sort of died inside of me, lost into the dark inner crevices of my self.

Now I think I would like to start again. Start over completely, which I might have to do anyway because of my cognitive impairments. I'm actually reading a book on Celtic Spirituality of all types. Spirituality without borders. Its really beautiful and makes me think. Unfortunately, because of my impairments its a very slow read, and I have to go back and re-read what I read and try to make mental associations to make it stick. Sometimes I have to read books 2-3 times. Its going to be that way for the rest of my life. But I loved to read before my neurological trauma, so I'm getting back into it. I wish it wasn't so difficult though.

I have all the spiritual tools I need. And they are absolutely beautiful. Even though I lost my spiritual connection, I didn't get rid of my tools because they are very special to me. It took me years to get around to buying them.

This is actually the perfect month to pick my practices back up, with the holidays coming. Last year I did 12 days of Yule, I think I will try to do that again. I love this time of year. Everyone comes together, and there is so much kindness shared in the air. Despite the less daylight, the light is carried in our hearts and we give it to each other when we are kind to one another.

I do not think you lost your Spirituality at all. Spirituality is more than just books anyway. The reading problem you now have may actually help your spirituality, by helping you get out of your head, and more into your heart. I think you are heading in the right direction.

I agree you're probably Just as spiritual as you were. Just keep reading. It may take longer but it will be worth it. I had to restart my own reading after years of not doing it. It'll come back.

i think when i feel like my spirituality is gone, it is like the footsteps poem. i can't think of the words right now but it is a picture of one set of footsteps and another with 2 foot steps. that is when god was carrying you.

Taking part in holiday festivities is helping me renew my spirituality. Decorating, doing crafts, and really enjoying the season, those are all spiritual for me. Because they have a spiritual basis. Even giving gifts is spiritual for me.
