This week’s topic is: What is Meditation and the Benefits of Living A More Spiritual-Forward Life I can say personally that I grew up being part of a religion. I was Catholic, and then I started to focus a lot in college, and I was very concerned with my body and energy and acne and my weight. And then when I was backpacking and I went to India and other countries, I started to get called into living a spiritual life, which is to me more expansive than just a particular religion, although that can mean spirituality for you. Spirituality to me is living, breathing, going through life with this awareness of spirit, of energy, higher power, divine intelligence, God, spirit, source, whatever word you want to use that is running through everything. And it changes every part of our lives. From personal experience, it creates deep meaning and fulfillment and deep connection with ourselves and with others. It gives us a different expanded perspective of life. We understand at the core that we are one, that we are unified, that our goal is inner peace and harmony and moving towards unconditional love. It changes the way that we look at food and how we spend our time. And today I'll get into some actual research, even though this topic is very personal and the experiences of meditation are in my personal experience beyond words, what meditating regularly has done for me. Also, how really orienting my life around spirituality has settled me and how it could help you if you’re interested in adding this into your daily life.
