First Day on the Planet: Turning Ordinary Work Into a Spiritual Practice
from Staying Aligned - with Jamie Roddy · host Jamie Roddy
A gas station cashier named Itzamar was more spiritually aligned ringing up snacks than most people I know who meditate daily. This one's about arete, the Greek idea of excellence as full self expression, and why the way you wash dishes or answer an email might be your most direct spiritual practice.We cover Aristotle and eudaimonia, Brother Lawrence and how scrubbing pots made him a saint, Sufi ihsan, Herman Hesse's Journey to the East, and Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements. Three practices included: The Sacred Ordinary, First Day on the Planet, and the Full Presence Practice.Come build this into your daily life at stayingaligned.org, it's free and there are no ads.
