I was asked recently what it means to be Spiritual. I stopped and thought. My answer was simple, it means to “feel”. Spirituality to me is not religion. Religion is based on set beliefs determined by past doctrines adopted by groups as a way to live.Religion has set rules and standards to live by. There are deities to worship, commandments to follow and rituals to adhere to. Religion works. It gives people something solid and comforting to live on. It is a Rock, hard, solid, and rarely changing. It offers community and safety in numbers.
Spirituality on the other hand is a feeling. It exists without thoughts, without order, without rules, without buildings. Spirituality resides within a body. It can lay dormant never being unearthed or it can vibrate through you throughout the day.
