Musings On Spirituality, With A Sense Of Wonderment
Written by Suzanne Kyra M.A., R.C.C.
Spirituality reveals that life is bigger than our bodies and what our minds think. It is a reminder that we are never alone, and that we are all connected.
I experience spirituality as the invisible connection between you and I. It is the non-physical internal world revealing something more than the sum total of us. Our body defines our physical I, our mind defines our non-physical I, and our spirit transcends the boundaries of our mind and body. It is the essence of our life—the majesty within and beyond us. Spirituality embraces both reflection and action. It is moving beyond I to care for the other.

These connections reveal to me that the world is about more than me and my relationships—its entirety is beyond my comprehension. In addition, I see spirituality as being curious about myself, what matters to me, and where to direct my heart and mind.

Who are the spiritual or philosophical leaders you admire? What do you believe happens to spirit when the body dies?
Encouragement
There are many ways you can get in touch with your spirituality. You may begin by simply being grateful for your spiritual nature. Be aware of the greatness of your existence, and the existence around you. Through focused awareness, you can boundlessly experience all of it in the moment as you settle into yourself. Sensing that the world is bigger than you is to comprehend that you are connecting with spirituality.
My commitment to nurturing my spirituality is ...
