Also, I just wanted to add awareness has really helped me get in touch with my spiritual side. I am not that good at meditating, but I find when I am able to string together five or ten breaths where I am continuously listening to sounds I become more clearheaded and balanced. I think balance is important, especially in spiritual progress. You can also learn a lot by reading. “Nothing Special” by Charlotte Joko Beck, “Radical Acceptance” by Tara Branch, and “The Art of Living” by Epictetus are some of the books that have helped me the most.
