By taking the time to jog your memory and re-charge your batteries, so to speak, you can expect a level of clarity and conviction return to your day-to-day life. Also, your overall energy will likely experience a positive jolt that shifts and lifts your life experience in ways you cannot imagine.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all wired differently, so the act of \u201cconnecting\u201d may look very different for you than it does for me. The key is to determine what activities help you to become still, quiet your thinking mind and tune into your spirit within. Try any of the daily activities below to strengthen a spiritual connection and then make them part of your daily or weekly routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music<\/strong>. The everyday world we live in is energetically dense and slow, whereas the unseen Spirit world vibrates at a very high frequency\u2014similar to music. It\u2019s no wonder that some music can actually lift our spirits and put us in a clear and insightful state of mind. Ever notice how a certain song can brighten your mood, spark an idea or suddenly provide the answer to a question that\u2019s been nagging you? Play different types of music to clear your mind and strengthen your spiritual connection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yoga.<\/strong> Our bodies act like sponges that absorb all energy, light and dense. When our bodies absorb too much of the heavy stuff, we feel weighed down, irritable and less and less spiritually connected. Yoga is an effective way to determine where in our bodies we\u2019ve become physically tense, emotionally stressed and spiritually clogged. Try striking a pose to wring out your sponge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nature.<\/strong> Spirits confirm that the positive energy we soak up while spending time outdoors is one of the most effective ways to clear out the negative stuff and re-charge a spiritual connection. Get out of the house\u2014hike, bike, or simply enjoy a meal outdoors to awaken your spirit within.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art.<\/strong> Creative activities often spark spiritual insight and clarity.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the ways that spiritual beings and our deceased loved ones communicate to and through us. Drawing, painting, sculpting, journaling, or any creative activity that gets you out of your head and into an open state of mind helps to strengthen a spiritual connection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bedtime meditation<\/strong>.\u00a0 Use bedtime as an opportunity to re-charge a spiritual connection. As you drift off for a night of sleep, listen to a guided visualization meditation where you\u2019re encouraged to release anything from the day that feels energetically heavy or off, and then invite insight, clarity and fulfillment into your day ahead. Take your meditation one step further by asking your deceased loved ones to meet you in your dreams and comfort and guide you gently through the night.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rebecca Rosen (<a href=\"http:\/\/rebeccarosen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/rebeccarosen.com\/<\/a>) is a nationally recognized spiritual medium.
