What is Spiritual Health? Living in the Flow of Life
Here’s the big, scary, beautiful truth: we only get one shot at this thing called life. With this in mind, we must make a choice: we can either wander aimlessly or choose to live with intention.
At Made by Yoke, we always choose the latter.
That’s why we choose, with intention, to dedicate our time in pursuit of supreme health and well-being. Guided by the principles of Ayurveda, one of the oldest healing sciences, we believe health is the complete balance of nourishment, connection, physical healing, and vitality. All of these combined create an ecosystem of spiritual health. We find the deepest level of connection to both ourselves and the world when these pieces are harmonious. This is the Flow of Life.
But while Made by Yoke is here to support your wellness, we believe that you already have all the tools to live fully in these values. The body has incredible intelligence, and when you prioritize intuitive living, your body helps you to choose the best products and practices for your mind, body, and spirit. It’s important to honor this intuition.
Why is spiritual health so important?
Spiritual health is the bedrock to a satisfying life. On a daily basis, it serves as a protective barrier to stress, negative thoughts, and physical exhaustion. Over the years, spiritual health helps us make major life decisions and to keep healthy boundaries with others (and ourselves).
Most importantly, when we acknowledge the need to tend to our spiritual health, we acknowledge our desire to live fuller, more meaningful lives. When we commit to this belief, it affects not just us—but everyone in the constellation of our lives.
How to give yourself a spiritual check-up:
If you feel like your inner intentions and your outer actions aren’t aligned, it’s probably time for a spiritual check-up. Start with asking yourself the following questions:
- Are you talking to yourself from a place of love or a place of negativity?
- Do you honor your intuition?
- Is it easy for you to find quiet or is your mind filled with chatter?
- Do you have a sacred space to retreat to?
If your answers don’t reflect the quality of life you desire, it’s time to focus on your flow.
One thing to do today to improve your flow:
Too often we can confuse flow with velocity. But here’s the secret—finding the Flow of Life requires slowing down, finding balance, and opening yourself up to the universe's steady stream of love.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to rejoin the flow is with a meditation ritual. This practice can be added to any time in your day and done in any location. The only rule: take a few minutes (or longer) to be present in your current life.
If you struggle with presence, try the 4-4-4 method. Breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and breathe out for four seconds. Repeat for as long as you need, focusing on the breath.
We hope that this article resonates with you, and that it empowers you to cultivate a deeper connection to the life you want to live. Wherever you are on your wellness journey, we’re here to guide the way. But remember — it’s as simple as one step in front of the other.
With love and light,
