What It Actually Means To Be Spiritual {Ep 167}

Tuesday Talks with Darleen

Spirituality isn’t about following rigid rules, using specific tools like crystals or tarot cards, or having a perfect meditation routine. Instead, it’s about connecting deeply with yourself, your values, and something bigger than you. Spirituality often begins when you start asking bigger life questions and turning inward for answers instead of seeking them externally. You can live a spiritual life while being grounded in everyday activities and routines. Spiritual moments can happen anytime, in quiet reflection, simple daily actions, or moments of clarity, and are more about presence and awareness than perfection. The talk emphasizes how spirituality is a personal, evolving journey rather than a checklist or a strict practice. Highlights Spirituality is not about following strict rules or routines. No need for specific tools like crystals or tarot cards to be spiritual. Being spiritual means connecting to yourself and your values first. Spirituality often starts with asking bigger life questions. You can be spiritual while living a grounded, everyday life. Spiritual moments arise during simple, everyday activities. Spiritual growth is personal, imperfect, and evolving. Key Insights No One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Spirituality is highly personal; there’s no required practice or “right” way to be spiritual, individual connection is key. Inward Focus Over External Seeking: Instead of relying on others or external sources for answers, spirituality teaches us to trust the wisdom within ourselves. Spirituality and Daily Life Coexist: You don’t need to change your lifestyle dramatically to incorporate spirituality, moments of awareness can occur during regular activities. Presence Over Perfection: Spirituality prioritizes being present and aware rather than striving for perfect rituals or lifestyles. Spiritual Awakening Could Look Like a Midlife Crisis: Emotional or existential turmoil often signals spiritual growth and awakening rather than a crisis to be avoided. Freedom to Choose Your Path: You get to design how your spirituality looks; this freedom makes spirituality accessible and authentic. Continuous Practice and Growth: Spirituality is an ongoing journey requiring practice, patience, and evolving self-awareness rather than a destination.
