Changing Paths challenge day 5: Reconnecting

Reconnecting with your spirituality when you feel uninspired, or heartbroken. Heartbroken at the multiple genocides, wars, massacres, injustices happening in the world. Heartbroken over climate catastrophe and species destruction.

This is something I struggle with. My heart is open to the suffering of others and broken by all the death and destruction and suffering. I’d rather keep it open and compassionate than be closed off, but it hurts. Of course my pain is nothing to the suffering of people who have lost whole families in the bombing.

But donating to a charity that is helping makes me feel a tiny bit better. Doing magical work for peace and justice makes me feel better. So I commit to reconnecting with my inner work whenever I can.

My award-winning book, Changing Paths, is about those times when you have a spiritual disconnect. How do you figure out if it’s a permanent break with your current religion or just a blip? The book helps you navigate leaving one religion and joining another. Available from all online bookstores.
