How to Enhance Your Spiritual IQ?

Guidance for Reciting

Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense,understand and tap in to the highest part of ourselves,of others and of the world around us. This source of inner serenity may be our best defense against the hassles that barrage us every day.

While we're all born with SQ,most of us aren't even aware that we have it. Here are some simple steps to enhance it:

Sit Quietly. The process of cultivating spiritual intelligence begins in solitude and silence. Most spiritual traditions involve an inner wisdom. To tune in to its whisper,you have to turn down the volume in your busy,noisy,complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all.

Step Outside. For many people,nature sets their spirit free. It puts the hassles of daily living into perspective.

Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their contemplative time to focus on a line of Scripture. Others ask open-ended questions. But don't expect an answer to arrive via some super-natural form of e-mail.

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings to alert us to danger,spiritual intelligence usually nudges us,not away from,but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.

如何提高你的精神智商?

诵读导言

精神智商是一种能力,可以感受、理解并触及最深的自我、他人及我们周遭的世界。这种内心深处的宁静可能是我们抵御日常困扰的最佳能力。

虽然我们生来就有精神智商,但大多数人并没有意识到它的存在。以下就是几个利用精神智商的简单方法:

静坐培养精神智商的培养过程可从独处和静默开始。精神上的信仰大多需要心灵的智慧。要听到心灵的细语就要放慢节奏,使纷繁嘈杂的生活平静下来,迫使自己放下一切事务。

户外活动对于许多人来说,大自然能给予他们精神上的自由,使他们对日常生活中烦心的事能用“风物长宜放眼量”的角度去看。

向自己提问一些人在沉思中思考圣经中的语句。另一些人问自己一些随意的问题。但是不要期望以超自然的电子邮件方式得到答案。

相信自己的心灵大多数人觉察危险是凭直觉。精神智商却常常引导我们去采取,而不是背离某种可以使结局更好的行动。
