Dakota Wint explores what spiritual practice really means, inviting us to question inherited beliefs, connect to the mystery, and discover our individualized path.
This time on The Flower Heads Show, Dakota talks about:
- Sampling the ‘spiritual buffet’ and still feeling unfulfilled
- Considering what spiritual practice truly is
- Finding your own connection to a path rather than just following the footsteps of others
- Building a relationship with the mystery of reality
- Mantras: a refocusing and decluttering of your mind
- Being gentle to yourself as the first step of spiritual practice
- How our culture wants us lost and is harvesting our energy
“I think asking this question, ‘what is spirituality?’, itself is a practice. Engage into this question. Sit silently with yourself and exhaust the question until you get an answer. That’s not to say deny the spiritual books, deny society, deny the fact that you have to go to work. I’m not telling you to drop out—I’m saying rub your eyes and try to see how we can realize the mystery.” —Dakota Wint
