How Do You Connect With the Divine?
Recently on my Facebook page , I asked the question, “Besides meditating, how do you connect with the Divine.”
I received some great answers both online and off. Below is a sampling:
“Often it’s as simple as a short walk in the park.”
“Fishing gives me a connection to God. I’m out in nature, feeling the vastness of it and a gratefulness that I can be there in it. It’s a form of meditation to me. I’m calm, connected and in tune with the Divine (and hopefully catch a few fish for dinner, too!)”
“I love to find time for quiet in my life. I do that through yoga, walks and being in nature. I listen deeply within as I’m doing these activities and the answers I seek seem to arrive fully formed.”
“I lie down next to my big German Shepard. He’s so peaceful and full of unconditional love. I instantly feel connected to God’s love for all His creatures, including me.”
“I enjoy yoga and chanting as a way to connect with All-That-Is. I use the holy word Om, alone or as part of a chant, because it is considered the primordial sound of the cosmos. It helps me feel settled and centered.”
“I pray. I consider that a two-way conversation between God and me. I talk a lot, but I also make time for silence and to simply be still and listen. The answers don’t always arise fully formed, but they always come, sometimes when I least expect them.”
How about you? How do YOU connect with God?
