Spiritual Fitness

You may be dedicated to working out your physical body, but leave your spiritual body weak and out of shape. No part of your life is separate from another. In the same way you flex your physical muscles, you can also work out your spiritual ones.

If you've not exercised in a while, it can be a challenge to get started. You may have trouble at first sitting comfortably in meditation, quieting your mind, or visualizing the life you truly want.

Just as on your first day at the gym, start with a short, sustainable workout. Perhaps a five minute practice to begin. When your spiritual muscles have grown stronger and the practice gets easier, then challenge yourself with more time or an additional practice during the day.

The hardest part is getting started. Once you're in motion, you see small results that lead to bigger ones. This encourages you to continue.

A light practice will gradually build up your spiritual muscles and you will not "burn out" from doing too much too soon. Eventually, you will reach a point where practice feels so good, you feel that something is missing if you have to skip a day.

Better to begin slowly. A light practice in the beginning will bring lasting results. Too much too soon may bring on a difficult healing crisis or chakra strain.

We joke with you as we do not want you to lose your sense of humor in your spiritual practice. Laughter is the best medicine and a very good exercise. Do not neglect it.

So get started today. Make a commitment. Build your practice at a slow but steady pace. You will fit into that third-eye bikini in no time. Smile! Laugh! Enjoy your inner workout! ~ Silas
