Spiritual Practice

Spiritual practice: 

yes, I have what some would call a spiritual practice, a discipline of meditation, breathwork, and yoga, along with various other rituals that bring me great joy to perform. I'm not sure I would still use the term spiritual though, or use any label at all really, as it's simply what I love to do each day, performed without goal or end result in mind. It's just what I'm drawn to, hardwired in a certain way, and there doesn't need to be a chase for enlightenment involved. 

only that I love the rituals of my day. 

and I do.

immensely so.

every bit of my practice is designed for joy, and even as it's all performed daily it still feels spontaneous and exciting, as if I've never sat for meditation before, or committed myself to a certain yoga pose, and now suddenly an entire new world is opened up to me, brand new, yet intimately familiar. I fall in love with my spiritual practice again each day, a brand new experience with every asana or moment on my meditation cushion. There's really no need to give this a label other than the sake of description, for writing purposes, or providing an easy answer when I'm asked of what I love to do. 

that I write about it all is due to the joy involved. 

aside from that, it's a quiet practice.

unfolding through my life. 

spontaneously

each day.
