Our goal
Our goal for Discovering Your Spiritual Path’s assessments, activities, journaling pages, quotations and educational handouts is to open participants to the possibilities of spirituality and its benefits. We believe people on a spiritual path lead more healing, enriching, enlightening, peace-filled lives. We interviewed over one hundred people of many different faiths and economic backgrounds. We spoke to people of varied ages, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, nationalities and religions. We were privileged to discuss the topic presented with believers and non-believers and clergy before we even began the process of writing this book.
Defining and Addressing Individual Spirituality
Each person we interviewed had different opinions and beliefs about spirituality. Some had none. Our challenging task was opening a topic so complex and immense, and not appearing over simplistic, condescending, incomplete or confusing. Since spirituality can be a sensitive subject, we avoided over-using the word spirituality and we focused on the topics we felt were the components of spirituality, to gather the greatest variety of honest responses and ideas, as well as to encourage a wide range of thought processes.
