Practical Spirituality with Selina
BRINGING PURPOSE TO BEING AND SPIRIT TO LIVING
While we are meant to enjoy our beloveds when life goes smoothly, it’s truly the tough times-the moments that pinch that provide us with our opportunity for conscious growth.
Most of us however miss that opportunity during moments of conflict as we get trapped in our feelings and negative thoughts and spiral into the distraction of creating more chaos.
PROJECT LOVE!
Our world is full of exciting and wonderful events as well as tragic and difficult situations of seemingly non-ending, epic proportions.
Natural disasters and less than natural events generated by hate and anger and fear have let’s have left thousands of our citizens dead, homeless, wounded with many more morning questioning , “where is the love?”
Living in New York, I see lots of people every day and often my encounters with them may last for only seconds or moments… maybe I’m going up subway stairs, or sitting across from a person on the train and we both look up and our eyes meet. Often I’m walking down a crowded street and people rush by, bumping into me as they pass, and for a moment I look at them and they at me.
Out of alignment, would that be you? I know there are times it’s me. For all the work I’ve done, for all the information that I know, in my humanity there are still small pockets where I notice I’m out of alignment. You know, these places of being out of alignment, these are great opportunities to practice so many faces of love.
There is the time I practice compassion for myself because I notice I haven’t been kind. I practice patience because I so want to teach and I want my day to day life to be all about teaching so I need to practice patience as my teaching practice grows.
What I teach is Practical Spirituality. We use our life, our daily life, as the practice pad to grow our spiritual integrity. Growing our spiritual integrity means walking the talk. The talk are the spiritual values that we say we hold dear; wisdom, compassion, kindness, tolerance, understanding, presence, gratitude, grace. Practical Spirituality is a term that refers to the fact that we have all the tools we need right here, right inside of us. We don’t need crystals to imprana us. We don’t need mantras to charge us. We’ve got the charge.
