My husband has written extensively on spirituality in the workplace. I believe that the individual is of utmost importance in any program for any group. I do not believe in the one-size-fits -all dictum. This has been bolstered by my health history.

I have been told: “mine is a marginal case” ; My case is unique”; “The treatment does not work for me”. Once the doctor even told my husband he no longer knew what to do with me because I was in and out of the hospital too often.

At this time my favorite book  was “What Doctors Did not Learn in Medical School” I no longer remember the author but in the 90s the book made a lot of sense to me.

I have decided to study myself: health and all. I believe “spirituality” is all encompassing to be my context. My husband taught me to use the heuristic method.

From Websters my husband gave me a practical interpretation of the heuristic method: “…it is relating to exploratory problem-solving techniques  that utilize self-educating techniques to improve performance.”

I draw strength in pursuing my individual path to spirituality from Neale Walsch:
“Humans feel more comfortable when they feel guided. They like to be instructed, directed, told what to do. As an emerging species, this is their proclivity. Like children, they feel safe when clear boundaries are drawn, and specific commands
or orders are given. Then all they have to do is meet the requirements and they’re home free.”

But I no longer am a child. I still want to feel safe but I know it is not right for me.

Given my history of being different, marginal etc. I offer my essays/research as my individual attempts to go on my spiritual path to the best of my ability. The hope is that I just may resonate with some others who also are searching.

From a Facebook post from a wisdom keeper, Maon Tohuna comes this inspiring quote: “There’s no greater praise you can offer to the Creator than to love yourself fully as the beautiful  and perfect being you are!”
