What is "spiritual development"?

Spirituality may mean different things in different traditions. To us, it refers to the process by which we come to live more fully, joyfully, and mindfully. Spirituality involves being present to each moment of our lives and of everything that is happening both within and around us. It also involves the cultivation of such qualities as gratitude, compassion, generosity, and acceptance.

What is a spiritual practice?

A spiritual practice is any activity that helps to develop or cultivate spirituality. Hundreds of practices may fall within this category. Some - such as meditation, yoga, prayer, and fasting - arise from particular religious traditions. These and many novel practices can transform our experience of life if we practise them with patience over time. Want to get started right away? See our list of some simple spiritual practices.
