spiritual practices
Soul-nourishing daily routines
Spiritual practices are activities undertaken to cultivate inner life, connection with the sacred, or personal transformation.
These include prayer, meditation, fasting, pilgrimage, chanting, and contemplative reading.
The term spans religious traditions but also appears in secular contexts: She maintains a daily spiritual practice of journaling and breathwork.
What counts as spiritual practice varies widely—from formal liturgy to walking in nature.
