Sadhana: The Daily Practice of Yoga, Volume 1 |
A discussion of a balanced life would not be complete without exploring the spiritual side of our minds -- the side that makes us human and separates us from every other species on the the planet.
Not only are humans the only creatures with the capacity for planning for future events, but we are also the only beings who consistently pursue a some form of frequent or daily spirituality and connection with a higher power.
Cultures the world over, from populous cities to remote villages, from Western Europeans to indigenous African tribes, all known societies of human beings have some sort of daily spirituality, or spiritual tradition.
We believe that the practice of daily spirituality, and a belief in a higher power is an essential part of a fulfilling, joyful life. This relationship can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and also helps maintain important connections within society.
Spiritual practices are many and varied, and can run the gamut from organized Western religion, to meditation and other more Eastern philosophies.
Whichever direction you choose, adding some sort of daily spirituality to your life can substantially decrease your stress levels, improve your relationships, and increase your peace and satisfaction with life.
