Article on Spirituality:
Wandering on this planet, off free will, has been a journey many wish could come true. But it’s not the places but the experiences we desire to have in order to search for the Truth – Who are we after all?
Answers to connect us to the deepest levels...Paths are many but many choose only one path and that happens to be Spirituality.
For those common souls whose life path is ordained in destiny Spirituality has a religious connect. But let us try to understand it and one of the ways it can explained is by saying, Spirituality is about seeking a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, which can result in positive emotions, such as peace, awe, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance.
Spirituality is a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all. People may describe a spiritual experience as sacred or transcendent or simply a deep sense of aliveness and interconnectedness.
Some of us find that their spiritual life is intricately linked to their association with a place of worship; others may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Still others seek meaning through their connections to nature or art. Like your sense of purpose, your personal definition of spirituality may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships.
Hence in this quest to find answers we can come across questions like; Am I a good person? What is the meaning of my suffering? What is my connection to the world around me? Do things happen for a reason?
It is true that some individuals overcome trauma—such as abduction, hatred, punishment and imprisonment by seeking comfort in spirituality or religion. Spiritual people find ways to “meet the challenge and continue with purposeful lives…they bounce back and carry on.”
Meditation, Prayer, Journaling are amongst the few avenues by which one can become more aware of your inner life and feel more connected to your experience.
However at times, a powerful healing and guidance is required to come out of chronic cases of deep hurt and anguish or defeat. Such healings can be received from a master who has done it successfully him/herself and willing to help others. But all in all, it all depends on how and when an individual chooses to completely surrender and take these healings to cure of his/her choice.
