Spirituality Is Not Just Ethereal
It is entirely possible to be spiritual and down-to-earth
A lot of people look at the notion of spirituality and get wigged out by it. They consider it a hooky-spooky, out-there, ethereal concept. They may associate it with new-age things, or they might connect it to religious practices.
Spirituality can be an aspect of all of this. But it is actually something more. Spirituality is a source of comfort, of belief, of experiencing more to the universe than just that which you can see and touch.
The spiritual can be a means of connecting people, places, and things. The connection you might have with a pet could easily be categorized as a spiritual connection. It’s not something made of this world in-and-of-itself, but a deeper experience.
The reality of spirituality is that it’s a part of mindfulness. How? By being aware of your own thoughts, feelings, and actions, you gain more awareness of the world around you. Not just that which you can see, touch, and experience…but the amazing interconnectivity of it all.
When all is said and done, we are all one. How? Because everyone and everything has a base in pure energy.
That’s really where spirituality, in its most down-to-earth form, exists.
