Lifting Your Spirit is based on the following principles:
1. Everyone is spiritual; sometimes we are conscious and active regarding our spirituality, sometimes not, but even when not, we still have a spirit.
2. There are many ways to lift your spirit, including not only through religious practices, but also through nature, art, human relationships, and service to others.
3. Each person’s spiritual path is unique and may change in small or large ways over time.
4. It is important to respect your spiritual journey, trusting that one step leads to another, and to respect each person’s unique spiritual journey regardless of how different it may be from your own. We are not here to convince you of the benefits of any particular method. Rather, we are just offering “food for thought”.
