Week 4: Spirituality

I am delving into Spirituality this week in my Vibrant Life Cleanse.Spirituality to me is a connection with and trust in a higher power. I did not always have this trust and connection. For many years I shut out my higher power altogether. Only recently have I opened my heart enough to let my higher power back in and only recently have I been meeting the exact people that open doors in me so that I can grow.The more I trust in my higher power and let go of people, places and things the more I am able to deeply connect with myself.My goals for this week:

  • Find a guided meditation that I can do 2 times per week
  • Find one immensely spiritual person to interview
  • Read Walden by Henry David Thoreau

This week's book, Walden, is an account of Thoreau's own exploration of his capabilities and his search for spiritual understanding. I picked up the book a couple weeks ago and it's been buried on my desk since then. I was having a very difficult time planning for this spirituality week until I received awesome encouragement from my roommate and members from my new Mastermind group. That and the fact that I found Walden on my desk (and discovered after Googling it that it was perfect for this week's theme) made me realize I am exactly where I need to be on my journey.A good reminder for me today is:

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”- Henry David Thoreau

What does spirituality mean to you? Do you have a great book, blog or article you've recently read on spirituality?
