Spirituality is an important part of life and should be felt on a daily basis.\u00a0 It improves mental and physical health brings us through the bad moments in life and, also, helps us to see and appreciate the good.\u00a0 Picture it as day or night.\u00a0 They are beautiful but how much more beautiful are they with the sun\u2019s rays or the moon\u2019s beams caressing your skin &amp; lighting your way.\u00a0 Spirituality is akin to the sun\u2019s kiss or the moon\u2019s blessings.\u00a0\u00a0 A feeling grander with more benefits than any other. So how do we get out of a spiritual slump or just bring more into our daily lives? For the beginning of this path we can walk it together.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with defining what spirituality is: 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What does spirituality mean to you? 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When you think of someone who is spiritual what do you see? 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What could I do every day to make myself be more spiritual? I\u2019ll start with my thoughts, but you write your own\u2026 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spirituality to me means walking with the diving.\u00a0 By divine I not only mean the God and Goddess, but also, the divine elements and with the creatures of the earth.\u00a0\u00a0 Being created by the God and Goddess make these all divine.\u00a0 On that thought being with myself meditating, relaxing, learning about me deeply, also, counts as divine interaction. 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When I think of someone who is spiritual I must admit I see a childlike image of a glowing person.\u00a0 But on a more adult level, I see a woman who stands tall with a gleam of knowledge in her eyes.\u00a0 Her glow comes from self assurance and self acceptance.\u00a0 Her back is straight and she stands tall with the divine. 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now I know what I want to achieve and feel, but how do I get it?\u00a0 Simple, by DOING something about it.\u00a0 I know I am looking to connect with the divine on a daily basis, so I made a list of things I feel will bring me to my goal.\u00a0 After looking it over I decide on a simple book.\u00a0 An Everyday book that I can read chapter by chapter with exercises I feel will enlighten me everyday.\u00a0 I also decided to read one prayer a day from a prayer book. Take the time to think of ideas and make your own list.\u00a0 Think of things you would enjoy doing to make the experience special. Now set aside time everyday.\u00a0 Five minutes alone if that is all you have, and work towards being a more spiritual you.
