When I started my journey to amazing energy and health I didn't really think about where I was spiritually. As mentioned in yesterday's blog, I was pretty locked up in my ego and didn't really think about my soul very much. I spent a lot of my mental energy either thinking about the past, perhaps with some regret at times, and worrying about the future. So, I wasn't in the present moment very often, if at all, and I didn't really know my true self.
One of the greatest benefits of yoga and meditation is that they bring you into the present moment, and they eventually open you up to some of the deeper questions of life. I had been practicing both for about a year before I discovered my true self, as a spiritual soul and part of God's powerful Holy Spirit. This is not about religion, it is about connecting with whatever you believe the divine life force to be. God, God Force, Life Force, Universal Energy, The Field, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you discover that you are not your ego, but rather a force much more powerful and eternal.
On this journey I've become a voracious reader for the first time in my life. At any point in time I'm reading about 2 to 4 books and devote time to read every morning and evening and then often during breaks in the day. One of the most powerful books I've read is A Course in Miracles. You can see more about it and purchase here:
