The successful recovering people have told me that the solution to my recovery was a spiritual one.
I always get confused by the word spirituality and find it very hard to understand. I really do not know how to find words to describe this word.
Anyway, I will try this time. Spirituality is a connection to something bigger than ourselves and it typically involves a search for meaning and purpose in life. It involves our feeling, senses and beliefs.
There is something greater and more powerful than me, it is something bigger than my selfish, self-centered, self-seeking ways. I am small and only a part of something bigger like humanity, the nature and the universe. We are connected to, a part of, or contributing to something bigger beyond ourselves.
Spirituality can be used to cope with change and uncertainty. It is a great way to find peace, stress relief and release of emotion. Connecting with something bigger promote mindfulness and makes us happy and healthier.
If you are helping and caring for others, you are getting out of the “me, I, myself.” You are focusing on something bigger. You are a part of something bigger and if you believe in nature as your higher power, you can find peace and comfort while in nature.
Someone once told me that the universal rule of spirituality is to do no harm.
Another explain to me that a person can be religious but not spiritual, where as a person who is spiritual may be religious.
I was in my deepest and darkest bottom, it was living hell for me. They told me that religion is for people afraid of going to hell, spirituality is for people who have already been there.
Spirituality is a very profound awareness of the things around me. There is a mysterious power, something bigger than me that my eyes cannot see but I can feel its presence.
Spiritual principles are fundamental truths that are universally acceptable and helps us to find the perfect balance and meaningful relationship in life.
I cannot see the creator of my smartphone but I know there is a creator for this phone and many other things. I cannot see them but I know they are there.
