The body is a self-sufficient source of strength, happiness, healing power, love and resilience. The secret to tap into these sources, is to increase your spirituality.
Linda Alfiori
In a group writing for wellness session, as part of a Spirituality & Resilience class, we talked about getting in touch with long-forgotten moments in our lives. We wrote without censoring while remaining open to receive what came forth. Our facilitator guided us with the following prompts:
- What is your definition of spirituality?
- What was your first spiritual experience? Where and how old were you?
- How did you feel about God, Heaven, Hell, and the afterlife?
- What spiritual thoughts and images would comfort you as a child?
- Did you have positive or negative feelings about spirituality.
- Did you have a sense of awe, fear, peace, or comfort as you considered your spiritual questions?
- When were your darkest moments, and what did you learn from them?
- How did the paths you take change where you are now?
- What techniques or support helped you with the dark nights of the soul?
- What spiritual teachers and mentors have guided you in your life?
- What life decisions did you make based on your spiritual experiences and feelings?
- How did your spirituality change over your life?
- What is your spiritual philosophy now?
These were incredibly thought-provoking if you allow yourself to get lost in the questions. Nobody but you has to ever see the answers. In the end there is an immense calm that comes over you now that you know yourself a little better.
