Abstract

This chapter invites readers to take an honest look at what is happening within themselves when aiming to manage spirituality from a personal perspective. In doing so, we have to ask what steps we can take to recognize that we are not at the mercy of our thoughts but are that which empowers our thoughts. While we cannot control the events that occur in the world or take place around us, we are always in control of the way we respond to these situations. If we are able to look up at the conscious mind, simply observing the thoughts that grace our experience, not attaching to any particular thought just letting them flow as we would do the clouds, we can create a space of freedom, almost as if we are looking up at our thoughts from our heart center.
