c. Modern day expression of spiritual being.

Spirituality comes in a variety of forms. Some people associate spirituality with rituals
and customs. Others define spirituality as just being aware of the present moment or engaging
in specific activities such as compassion and meditation.

We are living in a fascinating period in history. Modern spirituality occupies a distinct – even
unusual – historical moment. Here are a few examples of how spirituality affects our modern
life.

Getting Closer to Nature


Nature encounters can also help us to develop our spiritual side. Getting away from the
quick pace of everyday activities and distractions, similar to meditation, can help to relax
the mind. We frequently become more conscious of our environment and feel a connection
to everything around us when we are in a natural setting, whether it is plant or animal life
or everything we see. During a quiet walk in the woods near our home, we might be able to
make a spiritual connection with nature. A week-long hiking trip or beach vacation  holiday
may be more suitable for some people.

Spirituality through Yoga and Meditation


Yoga is about quieting the mind in its most basic and purest form. This might happen as
a result of doing yoga positions or sitting for yoga or meditation. Our consciousness moves
inside when the mind is quiet and still. We become more aware of our human spirit in this
state of self-absorption. Yoga or meditation lessons are one of the most popular ways to
begin a spiritual practice for many individuals.

Spiritual Expression Through Art


Painting, dancing, and musical performance all have a deeply personal component. A
successful artist has established a connection with their spiritual side and is expressing it via
their work. This experience does not require us to be skilled artists. This is made possible by
the act of being absorbed in the artistic process. Many artists are unable to explain how
they work, other than to state that they act as a conduit for another presence or energy.
Some people believe they have discovered their own inner spirit.

Human Connections and Spirituality


For many, becoming spiritual entails interacting with the people who surround us on a
daily basis. This might be formal, such as joining an editing group, or it can be more
informal, such as joining a simple charitable organization that shares food, clothing, or other
resources. Giving of one's time, energy, or other resources can be a powerful approach for
many people to reach inwardly and activate the core human trait of love and
understanding.

Exploring our inner selves, seeking connections with the natural world, or losing
ourselves in self-expression are all ways to find spirituality. There are numerous paths to
becoming a more spiritual person, all of which begin with basic, straightforward steps.
