Practicing Spiritual Health & Wellbeing

@PoliteOcean Pray and meditate mostly. Trying to have fath... Keep my focus on goals.

For me - I practice meditation daily ( sometimes in the morning and at night....it is my lifeline! <3 )

I also pray - but to me, " Prayer is asking God for something, Meditation is Listening for the answer "

I try to reframe negative thoughts into truthful and more positive thoughts - after all: an abnormaly inflated self esteem is just as much ego as is a low self esteem).

I do yoga a few times a week - alone, not classes, because classes make me feel sefl concious about my body - and yoga is union with Self...so I do it alone where I can easily have that union with Self.

I also practice self care - because part of my spiritual practice is caring for others but I can not do so when I am not taking care of myself.

I am an energy healer - so a few times a month ( ushally more) I give myself energy healing and balance my chakras ...always trying to be reconnected and clear up energy blockages from unresolved issues from the day - emotional, physical, spirtual).

Basicaly - I try to live a balacned, spiritual yet grounded life.

@PoliteOcean for me group healing has helped the most. If there are any multifaith gatherings, be it christian, Islam or mixed, I love to go, for me I feel that its important to learn from other peoples experiences and to really get a feeling of community in the healing process. If I hear of a church salad lunch or a peace gathering somewhere I will make the effort to clear my schedule for the day so I can attend especially if its out of town

As both a therapist and practitioner, I find Compassion Focused Mindfulness to be AMAZING for connecting while also improving mental health. It can be hard to meditate when our heads are busy with anxiety, guilt etc so a compassionate approach really helps cut through this. I would recommend checking out the totally free meditations by psychologist Kristin Neff on selfcompassion.org.

I'd love to hear if anyone tries these and what they think!

I meditate almost every day. I recently discovered guided meditations on youtube and they're fantastic, I really recommend them!

I practise yoga daily and try to meditate every single day. I also love to light some candles and pray or chant :)

@PoliteOcean I recently started combining yoga and breath work with bible verses and worship music. I feel closer to the Lord and I recognize the Spirit within my body

Breathing exercises, walk outside enjoying nature, pray, meditate, go swim laps in a pool. Being in the water really shuts my mind off and helps me feel good. 🙏🏽
