Authors recommend eating, playing, meditating for spiritual growth
In an article on the Huffington Post's blog, authors Ed and Deb Shapiro tell those seeking enlightenment and personal growth that it's simply a matter of exploring, not taking one's self too seriously and practicing meditation.
The Shapiros gave their advice recently to a crowd at a bookstore in New York City.
When they refer to "eating," they talk about taking in as much of the information on spirituality, healing and well-being as possible. A hunger for truth may be satiated by obtaining truths that give us substantial food for thought, the Shapiros said.
They also encouraged the audience to "play," or to have a spirit that is light and not too serious. This can help the mind stay flexible, forgiving and able to laugh at our human foibles.
"We need to dance, sing and even be fools, enjoying the exquisiteness of awakening," the Shapiros wrote.
Meditation is their third piece of advice, which they describe as turning on a light in a dark room. The practice involves looking within one's self for the answers while letting go of drama and ego.
The Shapiros' thoughts on life fall in line with those of author and philosopher Ilchi Lee, who believes that meditation has the potential to lead to enlightenment and peace on Earth.
