r/spirituality

Community Overview

About r/spirituality

Here, we discuss such things as personal transformation, the meaning of life, death, and moments of clarity. There is no single, widely-agreed definition of spirituality. Many people gravitate toward spirituality to seek religious-like understandings without the ideological constraints of institutional religion. This community, however, is open to everyone, religious and non-religious alike. Join us in finding our place in the universe. 🌌

    1. Spiritual awakening heightens your intuition and being intuitive can be a blessing in disguise. It exposes people on their own, you just have to sit and observe. And man, it can get lonely.
    2. Being okay with not knowing
    3. I stopped treating meditation as separate from the rest of my day. Here's what changed.

    1. Any recommended non-Christian books about the life and teachings of Jesus?
    2. An odd request perhaps, can anyone here recommend a book about coming to terms with becoming disabled but with perhaps a more spiritual outlook? I realise it may be a unique ask but I always find I gel better with spiritually themed self help books.
    3. I am interested in new age spirituality, please recommend some books to me
