Intro to Creating a Hygge Spiritual Practice

"...[the answer might be] starting a regular spiritual practice routine that can both enrich your spiritual awareness and strengthen your faith. This practice becomes your religion and in turn, an integral part of your life." 
~ Tom Rapsas, Patheos.com

Sometimes, people come to the process of creating a spiritual practice with religion or spirituality in place, already.

But for those who are spiritual but not religious, like me, and are not sure about beliefs or are wanting to avoid dogma, creating a spiritual practice can become a meaningful faith practice all by itself.

"At its heart, hygge is about finding the pockets of light when covered in a blanket of darkness. How often are we challenged to do this within our own souls? How often do we face life and spiritual trials with a sense of dread, instead of looking for the silver lining? I find being intentional about hygge is not only comforting in the temporal sense, but it makes for wonderful spiritual training." ~ Blessed is She

Will a hygge spiritual practice still be spiritual? Yes.

You won't be taking anything away, you'll be adding warmth, coziness, comfort and anything else that makes for a spiritual practice you can look forward to each day. Adding the feel-good doesn't have to mean that anything gets lost.

"To light a candle by myself is one of my favorite prayers." ~ David Steindl-Rast

At its best, hygge spirituality is or can be a gentle, comforting way to shine light into the dark places.

It can be a doorway for coming back to spirituality. A way to start again before you know what your spiritual practice will become.

A warm and cozy container for all your spiritual explorations, for every moment of connection with the otherworld.

More on that as we continue.
