Grow your spiritual life as you commit to a practice of deepening through spiritual study. For me, this is a life-long commitment.
When you feel the Divine mystery of life calling you, know Spirit is leading you to great things! The Divine already knows the secret language of your heart and wants you to learn to listen to the still, small voice within your heart. This inner guidance leads you to the study that you are hungry to hear.
When you finish your official schooling, you may feel you are done studying… for life! But studying and accumulating knowledge never ends — especially sacred spiritual study, where you study to improve yourself and your inner life.
Still seeking more, I was attracted to the New Thought movement, especially Centers for Spiritual Living, because of their emphasis on deeper spiritual learning and study through classes.
New Thought classes taught me I could change my thinking, and thereby I could change my life.
I love the quote by Ben Jamison from his book Church-Free Spirituality:
You must learn about spirituality in order to practice spirituality. Spiritual education spurs you forward in your growth and positive change. Spiritual education expands your mind with new ideas. Spiritual education helps you to see profound truths.
~ Ben Jamison
Ways to Expand Your Spiritual Study
The best way I have found to expand my spiritual study is to join some of the many classes offered by trained New Thought ministers.
If you have read some of my previous articles, you know what a huge impact Rev. Dr. Michelle Wadleigh’s Forgiveness – the Course has had on me. Her teaching has impacted me so much that I joined her organization as an Administrative and Teaching Assistant.
Currently, she has a few classes scheduled that I guarantee will change your life:
- Looking for a class on Visioning with a Twist? Join her 3-week CONSCIOUS DREAMING CLASS.
If your life is in flux or if you have a new project that you would like the Universe to support you with, learn to use the creative power of your non-local mind. It goes by many names: dreaming, creative process, and visioning, but all versions of this natural and creative process support you in opening up to the power that surrounds you. This class starts For beginners, she is offering a 6-week class called - CUTTING THE CORDS, Forgiving your way to Freedom BETA CLASS.

Any type of deepening through Spiritual Study enriches your life and helps you grow spiritually. It is a good practice to engage in when possible.
