A Spiritual Practice Can Make Life More Manageable

Every day now we have decide to soldier on despite all the terrible news of each day and despite our losses.

I know for me it helps to have a spiritual practice and to nurture my own relationship with the Divine.

My personal experience with the Universal Sacred Support system is to include all aspects and facets.

When I was in the throes of grief and depression it was hard to believe In God, Goddess, All there is. I lost my faith for a long spell. But now I believe more than ever that A/The Divine Source is there for us all.

When facing trauma and pain and loss it helps to have a spiritual practice — whatever it is. For some people it is their religion and for some it is a more eclectic personal path. It does not have to include a physical representation of the Divine or names or pronouns.

If you don’t have a spiritual practice, it is something you can develop and learn to Incorporate into your life and carry with you through the day. It is not outside of yourself. But there are ways to call upon external inspiration.

We tend to lose track of Spirit when in the midst of crisis. That’s is a natural response to hopelessness. But I think we are at a time in history where we have to take responsibility for our emotions and souls.

What is your spiritual practice? What are some of the sou-nourishing things you do to cope with difficult times?
