Unit 4- The Spiritual Experience



     I, as a Buddhist have spent much time applying mental quietness and strategy to calm my mind and live life with a spiritual might. I have found that the spiritual life we have inside of us can lift us into a place of happiness and joy.



     When listening to this week’s assignment, I found it very easy to put myself in the place of quiet and enlightenment. Learning to share this joy with others comes naturally to me. I am a super friendly person who loves to share how I feel about things. I have taught my children how to use these exercises to pass on to their friends it has built a home of happiness. The use of the lesson has helped to solidify my feelings and it has refreshed what I have been practicing for over two decades.



I was always taught that meditation and spiritual being will keep me healthy and bring me happiness.



     When I was 17 I had my first child. I was with my mother raising him, and one day my friend invited me to go on a double blind date. At the time I was very spiritual and followed my mother’s footsteps in Buddhism. I was very connected in my mind. It was a challenge to raise a child and graduate High School with honors, but I was determined.  The blind date we were going on decided to cancel. I was discouraged at the prospect of this. Then my girlfriend told me that there was a different guy that would come. He was in the Navy. I had no such hope for this, but when I met him, I was instantly connected, and then I found out he was a Buddhist as well. What are the chances? We have been married for 12 years and have 4 beautiful sons.



Inner happiness reflects outer happiness and attract the like.
