Spiritual Practices As Power Tools

Spiritual practices are like metaphysical Power Tools. They raise your awareness of the Divine within and around you.

Life is a spiritual practice. Sooner or later, it will enlighten everyone. But "later" can mean aeons.

So spiritual seekers employ specific practices, to connect with Divinity much more efficiently. These are the tools used to prepare your sacred chalice for channeling Divine Energies.

As Wiccans, we don't leave our personal evolution to chance. We take responsibility for our spiritual journey. We consciously create our spiritual foundation using time-tested personal development exercises: our Spiritual Power Tool kit.

These spiritual power tools make the difference between building a house with a handsaw and hammer, and plugging in a table saw and a nail gun. Using the right tools will take a fraction of the time!

What you're "plugging into" is nothing less than the infinite Power of the Divine Source.

This Power is just waiting to elevate your consciousness and bring you Home to the Divine. So use it whenever you can.

WITCH TIP:

The Basic Spiritual Practices

So there are 4 areas of development . . .

1. Body

2. Mind

3. Heart

4. Speech

You can't do any of them without a body, or without a mind. All engage the heart. All are involved with speech - verbal or internal.

However, they can be categorized in terms of the form that is primarily involved in their development.
