Renewal Of Spirit
KTHT Challenge Prompt
In my very first challenge here at KTHT, I asked you to write on this prompt
When my spirit is free, I..
And you all gave such wonderful answers! But what if your spirit levels are in a slump? What if life has become so complicated, busy, or you just aren’t feeling spiritual at the moment?
Stress, worries, and even depression can lessen our abilities to be in the moment, centered and grounded, and to exercise our own spiritual practices. I know I encounter this often with worry, health issues and intermittent bouts of depression. I need reminders to get back to my morning meditation routines, to remain in the NOW in each moment of my life, and to connect with Spirit.
Guided meditations work well for me, as do affirmations. And sometimes, just getting out into nature, planting my feet upon soft grasses or digging my toes into freshly turned earth for planting can also get me back to a Spirit-filled place. Even taking a few moments during the day for a little self-love and self-care can recharge my spiritual batteries — a long soak in the tub, doing yoga, a day-trip to a spa or a home spa, reading an uplifting book, or listening to some music that touches my heart and soul.
Georgiana Petec just offered us a wonderful guided meditation to help us get centered into our hearts. If these kinds of mediations work for you, I encourage you to read and/or listen to her meditation:
So in honor of Georgiana’s meditation and our need to remain Spirit-Focused, I challenge you to dig deep into your toolbox and take us on a journey into your own renewal of spirit.
