KNOWING SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE I of II


An integrated spiritual discipline is a constant and regular daily integral practice in one's life that brings together the Body, Heart and Mind and Spirit towards wholeness.

MOVE the body in physical activity.

LISTEN to the heart through inner reflection of the state of your emotions.

STRENGTHEN the Spirit by activities such as going to hear mass, prayer and bible reading, meditation, a movement discipline like yoga, tai-chi or chi-gong practice or even inner reflection that changes the quality of thought.

Be aware, no matter what's the crisis in our life, no matter how imbalanced we can get . . . with this daily spiritual discipline, we have a rudder that will keep us steady. Such spiritual discipline lighten the soul, focus the thoughts and transform these to be seen in outward actions of steadiness, patience and a peaceful demeanor. We will also find that gratefulness arises in the heart for the constant blessings we have each day. The integrated spiritual practice will help us weather the emotional forms that becomes milestones of inner soul growth in this journey of like.
