But for those of use who need a little help centring ourselves, focussing, concentrating, or zoning out into a meditative-<em>like</em> state, sometimes music can help. And some music is better than others.</p> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 21:30:06 +0000 Krissy Keech 2476 at /morsl /morsl/cultivate-wellness/health &²¹³¾±è;±ô³Ù;±è&²¹³¾±è;²µ³Ù;Ìý&²¹³¾±è;±ô³Ù;/±è&²¹³¾±è;²µ³Ù; Fri, 10 Feb 2023 18:56:24 +0000 sophia.penner@mail.mcgill.ca 2485 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/wintering <p>In Katherine May's book, <i>Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, </i>she discusses cyclical periods of our lives when we need extra rest, self-compassion, and quiet meditative time. As she describes, “Life meanders like a path through the woods. We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again." A personal winter might arrive after a loss or failure, the end of a relationship, or any time we feel sidelined, grieving, or isolated. Winter is a time for self love and gentleness.</p> Fri, 10 Feb 2023 18:11:02 +0000 MORSL 2484 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/spiritual-side-yoga-session-2-cackras-345608 <p>Join MORSL in exploring the spiritual side of yoga.

In her early years, she was fascinated by the possibility of eternal life. Later, despite never having attained clear answers to many of her spiritual questions, she was intrigued by her recognition that eternity and continuance are realities of existence. Time and matter continue indefinitely, and as she describes, "everything’s a little energy: you go back, and you’re these little bits of energy, and pretty soon, you’re something else. Now, that’s a continuance.</p> Tue, 22 Nov 2022 18:53:38 +0000 Candice Wendt 2397 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/breathing-balance <p>Balance comes in many forms. We balance ourselves physically, on tight-ropes of in yoga poses; mentally, when we weigh the pros and cons of a situation, and emotionally, when we decide we need a hug or an hour to ourselves. But where do we look to balance ourselves spiritually?</p> <p>Some of us attend a synagogue, a temple, a mosque, or a church. Others play music or create art. And some of us meditate. </p> Fri, 11 Nov 2022 21:43:16 +0000 Sarah Mitchell 2388 at /morsl
