We have come to the last part of the series, "Living longer, Living Better." Today I will focus on your spiritual side. Many people link being spiritual with being religious. Actually the two may be related in some ways but are entirely different in others. The traditional meaning of spirituality is a process of re-formation which "aims to recover the original shape of man, the image of God." Religion is an institutionalized or personal system of beliefs and practices relating to the divine. So you can see that they are quite different. You can be spiritual but not religious, but not be the other way around.
I would venture to say that because of this there are many more spiritual than religious people in the world. What does it mean to you to be 'spiritual?" And, do you consider yourself to be a 'spiritual' person?
Spirituality has many, many meanings but it is summed up very well by this:
“The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it”
By being "spiritual, you can truly connect to both yourself and the world around you. It represents a sort of stepping outside of yourself; a moment of quiet and tranquility. A way to recharge yourself in the midst of all the 'busyness.' Many people think that spirituality means countless hours of deep prayer and meditation but nothing could be further from the truth!
Being spiritual is simply a few moments of downtime everyday. For me it is when I practice my Reiki (in the morning) and self hypnosis (at night before bed) The whole process takes about 10 minutes total (5 minutes each). It is relaxing, fun and emotionally very, very beneficial. So you see that it is so easy to be spiritual.
Why not start on yourself today?
