I Love Being Spiritual To reach out to Athanasia for spiritual counseling, events and more, go to shamanicyoga108.com.
I’m going to get a little personal. There is truly no other area in my life that has brought
me so much love, wisdom and fulfillment than my spiritual connection to the Divine.
There are sooo many paths to “getting there” and I
feel I have experienced quite a variety of paths to connect with the Creator of the universe - God.
Of all the paths that are available to us, I feel the one
that has resonated the most with my mind, body, spirit
connection is having a spiritual experience through the practice of prayer and meditation. All the paths that I
have stepped on during my lifetime have all led me to diving deeper into what “spirituality” means.
What is Spirituality, anyway? According to the
dictionary, it is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to

For me, the
only way to “be
spiritual” is to LOVE by
having a direct relationship with a Higher Power.
The various names - God, Great Spirit, Creator, Great
Mystery, The One, The Supreme Good, Our Father, The Universal Mother, The Nameless, etc., this is just semantics. It
is the feeling of Love, of BEING love, that is most important. The One who has many names yet remains nameless
is the Energy of Pure Love. In my experience God is universal, all-loving, androgynous - possessing both mas-
culine and feminine qualities, with positive and negative aspects, yet transcending them all.
Spirituality, religion, science, they are all one and the
same for me now, because they teach me that there is
only ONE THING THAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT and it’s to be LOVE.
