Can You Be Spiritual But Not Religious?
Join the webinar for a deeper understanding of your spirituality https://community.soulmanifesto.com/inevitable-u/webinar/ \xa0 Are you religious or spiritual? Can you be both or is your spirituality somehow at odds with your religion? Alena Chapman, founder of Soul Manifesto, explains how we can be both religious and spiritual \u2013 how spirituality and religious belief can complement each other. Join her to learn about the spiritual roots of all religions, and about enhancing your own spiritual wellbeing. \xa0 Highlights- People often wonder if it is possible to be spiritual and religious at the same time and worry that by choosing spirituality they are straying away from their religion. This is not so and it is perfectly possible to be religious and spiritual at the same time.
- There is a spiritual beginning to every religion, such as the origin story of the Buddha as a prince. Christianity and Islam also have spiritual beginnings.
- Spirituality is personal whereas religion is collective. Spiritual practice can be unique and about every individual\u2019s personal connection with the almighty, whereas religion can have a collective, ritualistic aspect.
- Both spiritual practice and religious ritual lead to the almighty and to inner peace even though they may take different forms. They are both just different roads to the same destination.
- Spiritual practice can take the form of meditation, just being out in nature, in charity work, shamanic journeys, visualizations and more. It can be whatever brings you peace of mind and connects you to the universal force.
