Welcome!
Many people neglect their spiritual sides. I believe, as do many, we are made of three parts - body, mind, spirit. However, the spirit is often the least developed part of triad.
There are a number of reasons people neglect their spiritual side. Many of us are victims of spiritual abuse. The churches and religious practices followed by our families inflicted fear, anger and anxiety into our spirituality.
Our spirit self is our source of power in life. In it, we can find peace, love and acceptance. By claiming your right as a spiritual being, you acknowledge you were created, whole and perfect. You are on an eternal journey and this time on Earth is for your growth and edification. Most importantly we have the duty to love ourselves and each other.
I welcome all those who are on the journey to share thoughts, pose questions or post topics.
As a Pastoral Counselor, I believe very much in the power of prayer, and if you need prayer for any matter, I invite you to simply ask here or email.
If you have more questions about my practice, please visit my profile.
Until then,
Blessings,
Reece
