  • Spirituality is the way to be happy

    In Spirituality there are three levels that I consider fundamental.

    • Emotions – our emotional life has a huge impact on us and therefore it is a fundamental aspect to face to live happily.
    • Mind – the mind is the greatest resource with which we are endowed because everything passes from here and it is with the mind that we can change our life.
    • Soul – what has the most important role is the soul. We can’t transform our lives and be happy without working on our spirituality.

    Often the feelings we don’t understand, the dreams that seem to warn us of something, are a way in which these levels communicate. The spiritual part informs and advises us. We should not confuse every feeling (which is often the result of mental patterns and beliefs or fears) as a special message.

    Connecting to our soul, to this dimension that we don’t see with our eyes, is our mind. A dream passes from here, a feeling is elaborated from here. Our mind processes every external stimulus and this can be a physical stimulus, easy to understand and see, or an immaterial stimulus much more difficult to understand, but also more important.

    Spirituality – we are body and soul

    The spiritual dimension is very important in our life, the thing that strikes me most is that often whoever treats it as a priority reduces the soul to the servant of the body. The proposed spiritual paths are aimed at taking advantage of your body. The slogan is more, and the application of a spiritual path almost always ends on one of these points:

    Improve your working conditions.
    Having more money and wealth to live better.
    Having deeper and sincere relationships with others.
    Get the person we want in our life.
    Have more health, more strength, more well-being.

    That said, there is something that goes beyond what we see, the question we should ask ourselves is: what role does spirituality play in our life?
    Do we only need our spirit to have more every day and to get more pleasure from the things we do?
    Or is he just a messenger who offers us some valuable advice if we listen to him?

    My experience has led me to understand that this is the way to be happy because the spirit comes before the body. It’s not that we too have a spirit to be interested in. In reality, we are a spirit that also has a body. We are a spirit that experiences a bodily experience. The body is a matter, it has its duration and will end.

    The spirit no, it has no end and continues beyond our material journey. Usually, it happens instead that we give all the importance to the body and leave aside the spirit. We see the body, we feel discomfort, emotions, and problems. What we perceive with our senses is much more immediate and it becomes obvious that we behave in this way.

    In a culture like ours where only what we see matters, there is little room for the spirit. So why should we take a completely different direction and make choices that few, if any, could understand or accept? Because you want to be happy and spirituality has the greatest weight on your happiness.

    Since the eyes are easily deceived, appearance influences us to make mistakes often. Because if your spiritual dimension is strong, the mind and body also become. the first big change, capable of transforming your life, of realizing your personal growth, is understanding that we must overturn the vision we have of our existence.

  • Spiritual Retreats Suspension of Daily Stress

    Spiritual retreats represent an often unique opportunity to experience a parenthesis distant from technological digital interconnections. Because spirituality is not a fad. If you are already imagining the mystical silence within the four walls of a convent, know that it is not only this that is spoken today when referring to spiritual retreats.

    Alongside traditional Catholic-style initiatives, there are many other types of spiritual paths that are offered to post-modern men today. These draw above all from the New Age area, from Buddhist meditation and from initiatives derived from these also offering secular ways, independent of creeds or religious confessions, to cultivate one’s spirituality.

    So whether you are in a prayer group among the most traditional walls of a convent, or that you find yourself immersed in nature meditating silently in front of the Buddha statue, or that you still participate in a spiritual growth group for the rediscovery of your Child Inside, some of the psychological benefits that you can get from these very different forms of spiritual retreats are much more similar than you might think.

    A first aspect not to underestimate the benefits of spiritual retreats is that of representing an unrepeatable pause from all that postmodernity and technology today represents for us. And we’re not talking about a little healthy rest. Spiritual retreats offer our mind an opportunity to enter into a space-time dimension that is suspended and distant from everyday life, in which it is the contact with our interiority that is privileged concerning the relationship with the outside.

    The mobile phones are switched off, there are no car or urban traffic noises, often time passes in absolute silence; when most of the stresses that generally come from outside are missing, then we have the space to bring attention to ourselves; only in this way is it possible to regain contact with our most spiritual and contemplative part.

    This suspension from the rhythms of everyday life may not be easy since we are so used to being constantly bombarded with information, inputs, and requests of any kind that our ability to concentrate is now dependent on this continuous multitasking. But in this constantly hyper-connected and digitized world, real ties to people or a reference community often fail.

    In this sense, spiritual retreats offer another benefit for post-modern man: the sense of belonging to a community, to the group of people with whom one shares a significant experience that creates a bond. Praying or meditating are activities that can be experienced very differently if they are practiced alone or in a group, silence and recollection become the silence and recollection of the group and not only of the individual, and this amplifies a sense of connection with the others with a supra-personal and spiritual dimension.
