Spiritual Nature

Spiritual is our alignment with our higher self; it's our personality lining up with our soul, in harmony. It means developing the ability to 'go with the flow' effortlessly, keeping the energy of the Universe and our energy in unison. In this way we develop reverence for life, and stand in gratitude for it, delighted to be alive.



The essence of spirituality is that it reveals our true self. We stand in its bright light with humility and clarity, with forgiveness, love and compassion, not only for others but also for our selves. When we become spiritually sound (strong), we love our 'self ' and our life, and thrive in it, because our spirit has arrived at our ultimate nature and purpose, connected to our metaphysical reality.



When we choose solitude, for instance in meditation, we come to a place of quiet and stillness. The world falls away and our external identity ceases to exist for a while. We become 'no body' , and the pressures of the outside vanish. It is a place where we can stop 'doing' and just 'be'. We try to stop mental labeling of sense perceptions.
