Q: What is the most beneficial way to integrate spiritual practices with everyday life?
Roy Eugene Davis: Consider everything you do as spiritual practice. Attend to your daily duties skillfully and efficiently. Wisely manage your material resources. Adhere to wholesome lifestyle regimens. Be cheerfully optimistic. Nurture wholesomeness, harmonious relationships. Improve your intellectual powers. Meditate on a regular schedule. Be mentally calm and emotionally stable at all times. Grow to emotional and spiritual maturity. Nurture your awareness of your relationship with the Infinite.
Q: In light of recent world events I find that I am often anxious and worried about the future.
Roy Eugene Davis: It is best to practice replacing thoughts of worry and fear about an unknown, imaginary future with an appreciation for life as it is now. If we learn to focus on what we have, even if it is meager, instead of what we think we lack, we open our mind and consciousness to the flow of supportive grace that is always with us. In this way we can become positive and optimistic which will result in better health and increased happiness.
