When I talk to people about their spiritual practice, one of the big complaints I hear frequently is “how do I integrate my practice into my daily life?”
I hear this from meditators, but also from other types of spiritual practitioners – it’s as if we have two lives, our spiritual lives and our regular going to work, taking care of kids, doing grocery shopping and sitting in traffic lives.
On a level everyone knows that’s not true, that it’s all the same – but we experience it as separate. It’s not that nuts then to want to integrate things together, to be able to hold that peace of practice (whatever it is) – as we move through the world. I mean, isn’t that the point?
