The Benefits Of Womens Spiritual Support Groups

By Gregory Scott


As the world s population gets bigger, there more and more of the world s people finding themselves trapped in the rat race or at worst, stuck in a world where they desire materialism above all else. But as time goes one, many people want to find themselves or at the very least, find their humanism. Womens spiritual support groups is where the prospect of a retreat comes into play and serve as an outlet for those seeking to find themselves again amongst the clutter of the world.

How does one go on a retreat? It can be done alone as an individual or with others who share the same sentiments as any individual seeking to participate in a common retreat. This means that all one needs is a quiet place where they can be alone for an extended amount of time, be it a spare bedroom, time alone in the garden or a place of worship. If the retreat is to accommodate more than one person, any place that is able to do so like a place of worship is adequate enough.

It s all about personal growth of the individual partaking in the retreat. The purpose of the retreat is for the individual to grow. This can be done through a number of ways and this growth is not limited to prayer. Meditation, yoga and even some forms of martial art can be considered spiritual in their nature as they promote the use of your spirit over that of the body.

If one is adamant on travelling very far in search of spiritual enlightenment than a retreat with a destination at a very faraway endpoint is all about the journey. This not only takes the traveller out of their comfort zone but forces said traveller to look around them, pay attention to different cultures and ways of doing things, see things in a perspective they may never have considered and most importantly look around.

Prayer is not the only method in which one can use to engage and participate in at a retreat. There is also yoga, dance and meditation. But the following options are only a few of a surplus of methods that can be used in retreats.

Confidence is key or at the very least a prerequisite required to partake in a retreat. One needs to have the confidence to let go of earthly burdens such as those often found in what will people think mentalities and immerse themselves fully in the desired method chosen to assist with their retreat.

One to take the time to develop the practise they have chosen. Whether the time of retreat is a few hours or even an entire working month. One must spend time with their prefered method of practice, be it dance or yoga, not only to improve upon it but to use the time of each session more efficiently. Maximizing each opportunity that presents itself. Every person has their personal motivations for a retreat but what most people if not all who undertake one would agree on is that afterwards, they feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

And lastly, confession is key. This is crucial step and one of the main reasons one purge s away the bad and seek a deeper bond with your spirituality within one s faith and beliefs, as many religions often neglect spirituality.
