EP 9: How to come home to your spiritual core for the holidays

Answer Your Unique Calling

The holidays always seem to emphasize coming home to family, friends and loved ones. We also need to think about how we come home to ourselves. Today, on the winter solstice, is a good day to really think about our spiritual foundation. What are the core practices that bring us back to our center and reconnect us with our higher power when things get difficult.

Answering your unique calling isn’t always easy. Sometimes we face trials or difficulties and we can get pulled out of our calm core or feel disconnected from our higher power. During these times, we need a strong spiritual foundation to bring us back to that calm and reconnect us with the Divine. These are our core practices and they need to be something we can do almost automatically.

Because if they’re not, we won’t feel like doing them when things are difficult. That’s the beauty of these foundational practices, they give us something almost mindless to do when things get rough, that as we do them, bring us peace and a renewed sense of connection to God.

In this episode of the Answer Your Unique Calling podcast, I talk about spiritual foundations and core practices in the context of Yule, the winter solstice. The holiday season is a great time to revisit these practices and maybe beef them up with we don’t have a foundation or if we’ve gotten a little lax or too busy to keep up with it.
