Grounded Spirituality: Why Modern Spiritual Spaces Often Feel Disconnected From Real Life

Over the past few years, while I've found myself drawn to spirituality, intuitive practices, and astrology, I've noticed something difficult to articulate, but impossible to ignore. As my own spiritual practices have become ingrained in my everyday life, I feel, simultaneously, a growing disconnection from many modern spiritual spaces.

And it's not because I lack the openness or whimsical nature often found in these communities. I fully believe that spirituality and intuitive practices should be fun. Play and imagination are key to opening up psychic senses and new abilities. After all, you have to be able to conceptualize something before you can bring it into the material world.

To Paris with Love

I had the loveliest time in Paris, exploring the different museums and tourist sites. Doing yoga in front of the Eiffel Tower. Wandering the catacombs and the Pere Lachaise cemetery. The light and dark aspects of the city, and life, but all things beautiful. Delicious food and wine. Pain au Chocolat and eclairs. La Galarie Dior. Champagne at the foot of Sacre Coeur. By foot and on metro, covering kilometer after kilometer each day, then getting up each morning to head out again. Basking in the sun, and soaking up the raindrops.
