Description

Spirituality takes many forms, from public worship to quiet meditation, and even cheering on your favorite sports team! Sonya and Belinda unpack what being spiritually grounded actually means & share their thoughts on why a personal connection to spirit is an important part of reclaiming ourselves. 

Being spiritually grounded is being connected to our inner self AND connected to something bigger than ourselves. 

It is not either/or, but both. That bigger connection can be based on a higher power, community or nature. It is a cultivation of our connection to something safe and supportive and that relationship, what defines safe and supportive for each of us, is unique. 

They suggest methods and resources that can help you get started with exploring your spiritual side, and the core considerations for building a personalized spiritual practice.  

Join us as we discuss: 

• 09:52 The way our brain reacts when we feel connected to something bigger than ourselves.

• 16:51 “Spiritual bypassing,” and the lure of accessing higher awareness while ignoring its spiritual and emotional content.
• 37:44 Why creating space to be with ourselves is so important to any spiritual practice.
