Spritual shit

 


What is Spiritual shit? 
First let me tackle "Spiritual". Spiritual In general, includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ones "self",  and it typically involves a search for meaning or purpose in life. Folks may describe a spiritual experience as sacred, mystical, metaphysical, intangible,  transcendent or transforming in an event or series of events that have a deep sense of interconnectedness. Some people call having Spiritual awakening "getting woke".

Having a Spiritual awakening is a first step in what may be a very long, maybe even a life long journey. The journey is where the fun explorations start... I think that many things can be a Spiritual practice.  You can walk, breathe, eat dress, bathe, create music, art or poetry,  have sex, study, heal, read, write, travel, or live Spiritually. I am certain of these examples, because I have done or participated in them all, with intention and Spiritual focus. I think that the condition of being aware, mindful or intentional can make any activity Spiritual. 

Let's take walking for example. Let's say you go walking each day, you could try to convert this activity into a Spiritual practice. To do that you could start your walk with a simple prayer, take a deep breath and say in your mind " I am thankful for this time, help me stay present today." Then head out on your walk and start to pay attention to every step, every breath and things that are unfolding around you in a state of heightened awareness. If being Spiritual means you are or are trying to connect to something bigger than yourself, then paying attention to your surroundings is certainly Spiritual. Welcome to MY world !

There’s a stereotype of Spiritual people believing in odd stuff, like the Law of Attraction, the coming of the Age of Aquarius, the third eye, the healing power of crystals, or the malignant power of Mercury in Retrograde. All these things could actually be how those people connect to something bigger than themselves so let them have their own way of connecting.  Some things work for some people and somethings don't. So try things until something makes you feel connected. If you lose track of time and feel blissed out, guess what? You succeeded in having a Spiritual practice. 

My Spiritual practice is readings. Readings are how I demonstrate my faith, but I like lots of other Spiritual shit too, like crystals, yoga, meditation, making people laugh,  nurturing my peeps with good food, and being an aunt and a great aunt. Anything can be Spiritual if it makes you feel connected to something bigger than you. 

Does this help? What do you do that's Spiritual?

Do you have to believe in God?

Do you have to believe in God?  Wow what a loaded question! Recently, a new friend asked me this , thanks Dawn. How would I "do what I do" without a belief system that honors the Creator of the infinite universes in existence? I believe it would be impossible for me ,  but you may or may not be able to "do what you do" without that same belief system.  When I say "do what you do" I mean, live your life. There are many components to living.. like how you do your work, parent your children, make your decisions about how you spend your time and energy and loyalty. You can function well without any sort of belief system that includes a scripted version of God/ess, Great Spirit, Higher consciousness... the God of your understanding for lack of anything else to say since the list could go on and on. You may simply prescribe to a moral code of right and wrong. Your code of ethics may be more or less evolved than that too. Who should say? We live in a ...

Doing your part...

  Luca This week, I got to spend some time with my 3 year old great-nephew Luca. We were playing outside where he has a play station that reminds me of a pirate ship, in the yard were some magnetic fishing poles...we used those poles to chase my sister's dog around. That dog is a Cane Corso, he's a 190 lb love muffin named Mac. We pretended that the dog was a huge fish, we laughed and got dirty and I got stuck trying to cram my fat ass in his pirate house and even knocked the doors off when I tried to climb out and FELL over. We laughed like 3 year olds do when they play. We eventually ended up in the front yard when Luca casually turned on the hose and well, my mom and I gave him a wet sweatshirt contest..LOL!  This kid makes me laugh and remember why we do all the grown up things we do. We do them, so that we can love on our people. We do the things we do, because we have bills to pay and we have to make a living, but when it all boils down, what we really want is to laugh a...

 Why do the Woo Woo folks like crystals so much? In every bad joke about hippies and fortunetellers etc, someone is holding a crystal to the forehead... LOL  YES this may be how I choose my outfits everyday ! LMAO!  I am laughing because when I was in seminary school, I remember taking some crystal classes and laughing about the stereotype, and remarking to myself that I would NEVER get that cliche'........... well fast forward 20 some years and I am like my own crystal method dealer !!  I think crystals are feel-good reasons to get outta bed every day ! I am fairly certain that I have never seen a stone I don't like, have you? Crystals are like "Rock Candy" to me!  You’ve got a problem? There’s a crystal for that. HAHAHA From being broke to a broken heart, crystals have been said to have physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and metaphysical powers, even though there are few if any actual studies to verify that they have supernatural or healing properties. Bu...
