Thats a tough question, because there are so many different paths you could follow, depending on whether you are religious, and how far you want to take it, amongst other things.

All I can really suggest is that you think about what you already believe in, and what you want to put in, and get out, of spirituality, if that makes sense.

Personally, I have thought about spiritual things most of my life, although my family are'nt very religious at all. I developed my beliefs just by thinking (an awful lot), and reading (not studying, just taking things in), and just watching the world around me. A big revelation for me was when I realized you dont have to be religious to beleive in God, and that "He" is not a man (just my opinion).

I hardly think I am qualified. The answer is 42 though...

Look at this link www.cygnus-books.co.uk as it will give you an overview of many interesting things of a spiritual and self-development nature, then follow your gut feeling about where to start. The books are a fraction of normal shop prices.

Nice link.

So 2009 eh?

Well, i think this year is going to be an expensive one for me. A trip to Dubai at Easter to see my parents and a trip to Belgium early June to see my best friend.

Other than that i would like to get out more to meet people (preferably men!). My friend, Laura and i have said that is what we have to do this year. In order to do that i need to stay healthy and at the moment the health is fab, so long may it continue.

I love my job, and know it is safe being in education, so everything is ok there....could just do with getting rid of a few staff who are up their own backsides!

And more than anything i'm going to learn how to say the word No. I can type it...but have great difficulty saying it! Hmmm.

Thanks - good ideas!
For myself I would exclude god or any kind of soul-searching (for good reasons). Makes it probably difficult.

Hmmm... you dont have to include God... but I'm not sure how you could work on your spiritual side without doing any soul-searching.

I just have never seen anybody who really was able to successfully analyse himself - I always thought it is smarter to interpretate the reflections of your opposite! I wouldn't even know how it works...

Soul searching isnt the same thing as analyzing yourself... try out some basic meditation

As the world of money, greed and materialism is having a major effect on mankind the world over, people will be forced into finding different ways to make their lives meaningful and I think this will move many into considering a pathway of spirituality.
This doesn't mean you will have to believe in God or even do too much soul-searching, but more have an openness to look at life from a different perspective.
To truly 'be in the moment', to see the world with simplicity and view it like a child. To watch a raindrop running down a window is not to just see water on glass, but to notice that there is the reflection of yourself or the room within each drop.
As many families will be short of money in the next few years, they will need to be more resourceful in life and may be develop many of the skills that have been lost, some of which will give a sense of achievement.
I think I've mentioned it before, but in Norfolk I have discovered that a lot of things happen without money as many people don't have it, but what they may have is a skill or time, so there is often a kind of trade off, like I'm completing a painting that paid for my course of hypnotherapy treatment, I used to let somebody use my bath and they would leave with my washing and return with it clean. I didn't have a washing machine at the time and she only had a shower installed so it's the whole idea of what each person can do for another.
Through both looking, and behaving differently in the world, all sorts of positive things can become possible and adopting a more spiritual lifestyle instead of a materialistic one I think many people will find life more meaningful.

Well said Sue! I look at the tribal people that the likes of Ray Mears and Bruce Parry visit. They have few material possessions - just enough to survive in their environment - but they look so happy! Then I look at the world immediately around me and see so many unhappy people and a damaged planet. Maybe we should be looking backwards instead of forwards.

I realise that my views may be a little too radical for most.

My plans for 2009?

Continue what I have been doing for the last few months.

I'm in a good job, things have settled down with my family, and the world just seems a better place. Yes, I still have my down days - but doesn't everyone? I am rather content at the moment. I'm getting to where I want to be.

I want to stop worrying about others so much. I maybe need to put myself before others sometimes.

As for love.....I'm planning on not being pulled in on a bit of a flirt or a few nice words Embarassed
