Somehow, it all belongs at the altar.\nResources and concepts from this episode:\nEmily Boarman, dear friend of Trenda's, everyday spiritual seeker\nEmily's definition of spirituality: \"Spirituality isn't somewhere we visit. It's something we practice by paying attention to what's right in front of us.\" \"Any moment can be a spiritual one.\"\nPractices and concepts Emily shared:\nMorning ritual — waking before sunrise, hand grinding coffee beans, rising with the day as a spiritual opening\nEvening ritual — walking the dogs at sunset as a sacred closing to the day\nFinding the divine in ordinary moments — roads, phone calls, rainy walks, any moment can be spiritual\nThe ant and the cloud worldview — imagining life from the perspective of an ant looking up and a cloud looking down as a way to gain perspective\nConnection as spirituality — particularly when a heartbeat is involved and when nature is present\nGiving back through relationships at work — showing up for people as a spiritual practice\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RABJsy4-OAQbvj6mAqT0j9Ys44EViNNMZ76RG6Jz3F4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZTgy/ZjFiMDcyZmY4NmY0/YWY0YmQ2NDVlOTJi/NDYwZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
