Recently, I had the privilege of sitting with a group of final-year psychotherapy students. The topic of spirituality arose after one student, who had been deeply moved by a client’s emotionally charged session, asked how to stay connected with empathy yet protect herself from being overwhelmed.
We discussed creating energetic “rings of protection”, but she admitted, “I’m not spiritual”. This sparked a deeper conversation about what spirituality means and how it shows up in our work and lives—even for those who don’t consider themselves “spiritual”.
For me, spirituality isn’t about religion or imposed beliefs. It’s something far simpler, yet profoundly powerful. It’s the “little spark” within all of us. That spark is what drives someone to seek help when life feels heavy, to reach out even when they’re unsure what they’re reaching for. It’s the essence that says, “I want more; I deserve more” It’s their spirit.
Spirituality is the “more than”. It’s the halo around the frying pan—the subtle, often unnoticed energy that surrounds us and guides us when we tune in. It’s not about doctrines or rules but about listening to the intelligence of our hearts.
- What lights you up?
- What brings you joy?
- What do you truly love?
That’s the heart’s intelligence, and it’s a profound form of spirituality.
For many, spirituality has been tangled with the rigidity of religion. But this isn’t about dogma. It’s about reconnecting with the part of us that knows what we really need, what makes our hearts sing, and what gives life meaning.
In your own life, take a moment to pause and reflect:
- What does spirituality mean to you?
- What sparks your inner light?
- How can you honour that quiet wisdom in your daily choices?
If this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s explore how we can all reconnect with that spark in a way that feels authentic and nurturing.
