Ep: #506 What is Spirituality?

What is spirituality exactly? And why do we say it's an awakening when it happens? Google dictionary defines spirituality as such: spir·it·u·al·i·ty  ˌspiriCHo͞oˈalədē/ noun noun: spirituality; plural noun: spiritualities  "the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. "the shift in priorities allows us to embrace our spirituality in a more profound way" It's a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, a higher power while in search of something more in life.  Something more than just the human experience and searching for greater meaning.  Your soul's purpose and the essence of your being. Having a spiritual awakening is the beginning of your journey toward the path of enlightenment.  The realization there is something more out there and the belief that we are all connected.  It may be a BIG ah-ha moment or it could be little signs along the way that eventually get you to where you need to be along that path.  You may have always known there was another realm out there and the belief there is another power greater than us but not fully understood it.  You are aware there is more and want to better understand and experience this change. There are different levels of awakening and they are all wonderful!  Once you begin this new journey your life will be forever changed. Because you begin to come from a place of love, light, and goodness.  It's food for your soul.  It's about becoming the best person you can be. By opening your heart to allow the love to come in and shine through to others will give you a deeper connection to the divine.  When you live in this place of a heightened energy vibration you live lighter and live happier.  It's not just a switch that you can flip on and BAM you're enlightened......it's a process.   A learning curve that comes easy for some and takes longer for others. Just like anything else you do in life, you have to do the work to get there and to better comprehend what is really going on.
