The everyday spiritual

In medieval monasteries, the art of copying and illuminating libraries of manuscripts, of putting wisdom and prayer to paper, was seen as a spiritual process in itself.*
Kassia St Clair

It’s not that your personality itself becomes stable but rather that your routine environments and social roles lock you into habitual patterns.**
Ben Hardy

Many a working day hold the sort of elements that can be reimagined as spiritual practices;
You continue to do the work, but are also connecting with what is deeply important to you –
Win/win.

The way you speak to someone,
The composition of emails,
How you use the walk between departments,
Reading information,
Making decisions …
Whatever you identify,
It’s worth contemplating how you might use it
to connect to the deepest you.
