Live Ethically: The Practice of Doing Good

UPCOMING
Written By Lane Smith

This Week’s Intention

To align our choices and actions with the qualities we want to embody.

Spirituality isn’t only about what happens within us. It also shows up in how we live.

This week in Essential Spirituality, we’ll explore ethical living as a spiritual practice—not as a list of rules, but as an opportunity to bring our choices into greater alignment with the qualities we value. We’ll consider how acting with integrity, kindness, and awareness can change not only the lives around us, but our own experience of living.

What does it look like to let our values become visible in the way we move through the world?

Concentrate and Calm Your Mind: Finding Stillness

Our minds are constantly moving—planning, remembering, worrying, imagining, analyzing. What happens when we learn to become still?

This week, we’ll explore the practice of concentrating and calming the mind. We’ll have an opportunity to step out of the constant stream of thought and discover what becomes possible when we give our attention fully to the present moment.

Transform Your Motivation: What Do You Really Want?

We all want things. But how often do we stop to ask what’s underneath those wants?
