Living a Spiritual Life

Living a Spiritual Life What does this mean? What does this look like? Everyone is actually living a spiritual life whether they know it or not. Just the fact one is incarnated means you are a soul who came here to learn and evolve, some consciously, some not. So for those of you who consider yourself “awakened”, it means you are conscious, but not necessarily “better” than anyone else, just that you are very conscious and maybe even have some of the coveted new age “gifts”.

Commitment to think it out, to be aware, to not get offended or discouraged, to be flexible, to listen, ask questions, feel your feelings, allow others to feel their feelings but not at your expense, deciding to work it out, deciding to learn, deciding to leave. Balance, is a lifestyle choice.    In Spirituality, in the USA, the balance between a Student and Teacher is unique. If your guru is from another country the culture often makes it easy. Behavior is dictated by the cultural expectations of how to act and show respect. And if you don't see your guru
