Spiritual practices offer peace and Acceptance

Connect with your God

In front steps of his career and the challenges of daily life can leave us feeling lonely, stressed and anxious. As we face financial and emotional stress of having a house, a car, work (or work), children and a spouse in this world too busy?

Spiritual practices can help us navigate through the turmoil of work and life transitions with more acceptance and peace. Here, I present three simple spiritual practices that can help us to live life from a more supportive, encouraging prospects.

These practices may help to switch from normal to react to life's problems, to walk a path of more peace and acceptance. However, before introducing these spiritual practices, we must realize that not of ourselves, laying down!

We Do not Need Fixing
Self-improvement and most network marketing industry bombards us with ideas that, if fix or change our beliefs, attitudes, old wounds, thinking, objectives, financial situation we will be OK or a success.

There are further burdened by guilt and shame for having created our alleged "called the absence or negative situation with our thoughts, beliefs or unaddressed childhood hurts.

These doctrines egocentric hurt us. Where is the room for God's infinite plan, the work of our soul, even our lifework, within that narrow thinking? There is much, much beyond our control or our imagination, our lives.

Sometimes, but we are vulnerable to the winds swept the dust of change. During these difficult times, such as career change and the challenges of work life, we need compassion for our human condition ... not self-incriminating lessons.

Paradoxically, there is an element of truth in the school of thought that our beliefs, thinking, attitudes and old wounds can affect our quality of life. Holding seemingly irreconcilable opposites like these at the same time is part of the journey of our soul. Clearly, though, our lives are not a problem to be fixed and we are not to blame for every event of life.

"Events occur because conditions are right, and your action contributes to only one of many conditions. Lieh-Tzu

I often hear people complain about their lives, saying it should be later in their careers, relationships, finances, and even in their own growth. However, creating change involves more decision making and targeting.

We are planting seeds that grow our being. Often we become the being that can make the changes that we have. Growing a being is the work of a difficult life of ten-steps-aa-new-you.

This is why a career change or transition of any kind of life can take a lot longer than we expected. The more time I spend on this planet, the more I realize how little is really within my control and how rarely things work based on my time line. Increasingly, I am aware of the hand of God orchestrating life with us, but players on a big stage. Wherever we are at this moment is exactly the place that are intended to be. Yes, we're OK now.

This does not mean we accept hopelessly unworkable or harmful situations in our lives. However, there is a flow and timing of all things. Disdaining our lives and believe that we can only be happy when we have a great career, lose pounds, find the right love, make more money ... not facilitate change or happiness. It only creates more discontent. We can only experience peace and prosperity now, at this time.

Spiritual practices offer peace and acceptance

Following is a brief summary of three spiritual practices by the acronym ABC, which can foster our sense of wellbeing and peace - now. Sometimes, acronyms for learning may seem too cute and annoying, however, could not ignore something that was revealed to me in prayerful meditation.

The practice first, "A = ask for help," begins with the call to our higher power for help. The second practice simple, "B = Breathing Being," reminds us to return to our breath, our bodies and our God The last step in this trio, "C = call for compassion," Kinder teaches us to more compassionate way to deal with life, ourselves and others.

Also, practicing these spiritual ABC showed me the practical value of using simple, easy to remember during stressful times angry or frustrated and dark days. May these spiritual precepts add goodness and peace to your life - as they have mine.

Spiritual ABC

A = ask for help
* Ask God for help: "Please help me navigate through this. Thanks for helping us." God is always there. We often need to reconnect.
* Help Yourself living with gratitude: Give thanks to God for everything and everyone, always.
* Reach out to others: End your isolation to others for help.

B = Breathing Being
* Inhale and exhale Ten Times: Everyone has the transformation time, countdown breath ten.
* Be Still, "Be still and know that I am God." Immobility is the gateway to God
* Being in the body, by being even begin to listen to the needs of our bodies' and learn to take care of our bodies now.

C = Cultivate Compassion
* Pray for compassion: "Please God, help me to find compassion here. Thanks for helping me."
* Look for the Big Picture: When we are angry or frustrated with ourselves or others, we need to reach a broader perspective. Ask: "What is really important here?"
* Restructure the story: We continually spin stories in our minds one way to explain every situation that often has little to do with the greater truth of a situation. Try asking, "How else can I see this?"
