What spiritual practices do you practice?

I do several things; meditation and centering prayer, where I use parts of scripture to guide the prayer.
Also Bible reading, which I do as a form of study, but also I use it as prayer, especially the Psalms.

And I worship weekly at a Quaker meeting.

I'm trying to get more practices into my life. Currently, I go to a UU church on a semi-regular basis. I've been doing spiritual journaling once in awhile and would really like to get into meditation.

While taking the "Foundations" class for the Centers for Spiritual Living I am trying to read the spiritual readings for the class; do some meditation and journaling; and mainly, just try to remember everything can be reframed into a life enhancing experience.

I think the reframing is VERY important. In the Bible that is called "repentence" (lit. "turning around"). Once I start seeing things in a different light, things tend to look better.

Meditation, Tarot, ritual, Reiki, knitting. Other stuff, too, that I'm forgetting.

Hanging out in the Arctic-generated LT forums.

At the moment, practically nothing, as most of my waking hours are spent in either work, housework, or childcare. (Or cruising on LT.) In theory, it should be possible to make some kind of spiritual practice out of everyday tasks, but in practice, I haven't found the balance yet. I go with my family to an Anglican church most Sundays, but apart from the core of the eucharist, the service is too busy for me to regard it as a spiritual practice.

If the baby condescends to sleep for more than 30 minutes during the day, then I sit cross-legged on a cushion like my Zen teacher taught me, and breathe.

There is of course the interesting notion of work as a spiritual discipline. Kathleen Norris writes of a desert monk who wove baskets every day. Of course there was no one to buy his baskets, and so every year he burned them.

It was the work itself that was important to him. (Kind of like making your bed every day, even though you will just mess it up every night.)

#7 Knitting fills this niche for me. It really does renew something in me to create pretty things. I don't care if anyone wears them or not. In fact, I don't care if I have to rip out or start over or whatever. I'm going to knit anyway. I don't care how it comes out, just need to make those knits & purls.

Some might call this obsession...how far is it from spirituality to obsession?

#7 Cross-stitch does it for me.

I would count those as spiritual practices. Ora et Labora. Prayer and Work. (Define prayer in your own way.)

Last night was my first Feri class, this one dealing with its concept of the three souls. So, I guess I'll be playing with this one for a while.

I'm also going to start taking a Chi Kung class again. I miss the Taoists.

Newbie here - this is a great question.

I am a Methodist by upbringing and tradition, and do attend church services, although I hesitate these days to call myself a true practitioner of the Christian Faith. I belong to a very liberal congregation, who embraces the opportunities to explore the spirituality in us all.

I am reading a lot about meditation right now, and the Abrahamic viewpoint (Christian, Jewish and Muslim ~ as faiths all rooted in the Abrahamic "traditions")

I read excessively, if there is such a thing, and try to be open minded in pursuing many different paths... Interested in Earth religions, Buddhism and Zen-practices. I think I can describe myself as a monotheistic sort, since I am pretty sure I believe in one God/Goddess source, one supreme being...

I read in various subjects (religion, philosophy, science, even literature) and it helps me understand my beliefs and faith at a different level. I don't just read about my own faith, though. Actually, I read more about Christianity-partly so I can understand what my best friend believes and partly because it sometimes helps to define what I don't believe before I can firm down what I do believe.

I also tend to meditate quite a bit while I garden, clean, paint, and cook-all of these activities help ground me and put me in the right mindset to consider spiritual thoughts (that prayer and work notion defines it very well).

One occassion, I will actually do a full-ritual, but more often, I do impromptu prayers or devotions, nothing planned or fancy.

>edited for grammar

Most of my spiritual practice consists of meditation (not as much or as often as I'd like) and reading (religion, spirituality, philosophy, history, even a bit of sociology once and a while).

I am trying, once again, to meditate for at least ten minutes each morning. I would like to be able to comfortably do twenty twice a day but that will be down the road a bit, I think.

"In principle the great religions of the world do not differ as much as they appear to." - Ernest Holmes

At Beacon of Life (a Center for Spiritual Living), we teach and live the princliples of Science of Mind, a synergy of all the great faiths.

The common thread among most religious philosophy is the omnipresence of one God. We beleive the innermost God and the outermost God are the same. If God is EVERYWHERE, ALL the time, then this must be so!

To connect with the goodness and the greatness of the Universe, I know I must first go within. Practices for manifesting good in my experience include meditaiton, affirmative prayer, and releasing limiting beliefs.

The most practical exercises, and some things I can do without finding a "quiet place" include forgiveness, gratitude, and silently saying "I love you" everytime my eyes meet anoter's. These also produce the most radical and instantaneous results!!

I do a number of things which I feel as spiritual practice but I have never been disciplined about it and don't do any of them regularly (or as regularly as I wish I would). That said, among these are:

sitting meditation; prayer; reading from scripture (including scripture from "other" traditions -- "The Dao De Jing" and "The Bhagavad Gita," for example); keeping a journal; doing dream work, keeping a dream journal and belonging to a dream group; attending First Day worship at a Friends Meeting; meeting with a spiritual director.
