Your Daily Life Is Your Religion

The greatest shift in your perspective towards Divinity starts with the realization that God lies within you, that your body is the temple within which God resides. Religion is too expansive to be squeezed within the covers of a book, because religion is all of life itself. It's who we are, the choices we make, how we treat people, animals and the planet. It's how we love, our sense of compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, grit, acceptance and joy. It is every moment of our dai

Be like a tree, forever evolving.

Be like a tree, forever evolving. Growing, weathering storms, breaking, healing, aging uniquely, gaining strength from stillness, staying grounded, silently gaining wisdom, and becoming immensely individuated. Become your own unique self, find comfort in your own niche, where you are needed and meant to be. It is a part of the Ascension process. #ancientwisdom #healinghideaway #ascension #spirituality #spiritualgrowth#spiritualretreats #top10spiritualretreats #india #bindiyam
