Spirituality is the concept of an
ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to
discover the essence of his/her being; or the "deepest values and meanings
by which people live.

Many people express
spirituality in different ways.
For some, it's about
participating in organized religion: going to church, synagogue, a mosque, etc.
For others, it's more
personal. Some people get in touch with
their spirituality through quiet reflection, private prayer, yoga, meditation
and others through movement like dance or walks.
To me spirituality has
many forms and I find it in life, through love, awareness and contemplation.
I find it in all
forms of life, in the world, in nature, in the universe.
I find it in written
words, through words spoken, in dreams and visions, in actions and reactions.
I find it in the way I think, feel, in what I
sense, see, create and do.
Spirituality too is
about questions and answers. Questions we ask ourselves like "what is my intention? When I think, feel or do this, do I or will I harm myself? Do I harm others? Will I still be able to look myself in the eyes? What do I see when I look at others? What is the message? "
Asking these questions (and others)
and through their answers we discover and broaden our horizon.
We can learn and develop.
Here we should be
alert as we have the tendency that once
we believe in something, we’ll try to
explain away anything that conflicts with it (our cognitive
dissonance).
We are individuals and
the way we express our spirituality can differ.
But when individuals are willing they can join hands.
To me that too is a
form of spirituality.
What is spirituality
to you?
