Hey,
I'm Pasquale and I'm a spiritual life coach and my goal is to help you live a more meaningful fulfilling life.
What do you think of when you hear a spiritual person?
People always conjure images of incense or people humming mantras,
Gurus in flowing robes,
Or people just out of touch with the rest of society.
That's not real.
So what is a spiritual person?
I'll get to that in a minute.
First though,
I'd like to dispel some popular myths regarding spiritual people.
As you might suspect,
Stereotypes of spiritual people are not always accurate and here are my five favorite myths.
Number one,
Spiritual people are always at peace,
Happy,
And positive.
I wish.
It's true that tapping into our spirituality does empower us to experience the world in a positive light but we're just like everyone else riding the emotional roller coaster called the human condition.
Spiritual people are all vegans or vegetarians.
Okay,
So we do tend to eat healthier than average because we're in tune with our bodies but some of us like steaks,
Cheeseburgers.
Number three,
Spiritual people don't drink alcohol.
Granted,
We tend to be mindful of the amount we consume out of respect for our bodies but most of us do enjoy a glass of wine,
A beer,
Or a mixed drink to complement a meal or just to celebrate and enjoy life.
Number four,
Spiritual people rise early and meditate for hours every day.
I wish I had the time.
While getting a jump on the day and meditating are good,
Spiritual people aren't obsessed with either.
We do strive to live more productive,
Healthier lives fueled by our positive energies and we try to meditate or practice some kind of mindfulness every day because it helps us release the negative energies and it always invites positive ones into our bodies but sometimes we can only do it for a few minutes.
Number five,
Spiritual people follow a guru.
It would be a blessing if every spiritual person had their own guru.
Fact is that most spiritual people have never met a guru.
We do however often use spiritual coaches to teach us how to connect with our spirituality and how to meditate.
The most fortunate among us have encountered amazing teachers and coaches along our journeys.
So you see,
Spiritual people aren't exotic or eccentric.
They're just like you and me except that they have chosen to explore spirituality that lives inside every person including you.
Like anything worthwhile,
There's a little work involved in becoming a spiritual person.
You'll still live a normal life full of ups and downs just like everyone else but you'll become stronger in two important ways.
You'll discover greater meaning in being alive as you grow to appreciate your own worth and your own right to lead a happy fulfilled life.
You'll also learn how even a little meditation can enable you to release the negative influences and manage your everyday experiences with greater calm and confidence.
Spirituality isn't hocus pocus.
It's you discovering how to live a more meaningful life by intimately connecting with the most important person on the planet.
You.
