10 Most Popular Spirituality Blogs of 2012

We've officially put 2012 in the history books, but I felt like taking a brief look back to share with you some of the most popular spiritual blog posts that I had last year. Some of them you may recognize because...well, if they were popular, it's because you were reading them. For newer readers, they may be a welcome compilation to get you started finding stuff on this Website. As many of you know, finding stuff online is a challenge, and one of the challenges I have as a writer is to keep finding new tools to surface appropriate and relevant content for each one of your needs.

But enough about the challenges of blogging in our digital age. Here's the top ten with a few sound bites from me about each post.


10 Understanding How to Hold Space

I'm really happy that this spirituality blog post has been so popular. I think learning how to hold space for each other is an essential tool for all relationships because we learn how to respect others and look and listen with non-judgment and love.


9 Spiritual Awakening Signs Subside: You Come Fully to Life

This post was written for those who want to know if the inner shifting ever will end. During the initial shift to embody your light, you simply never feel stable or safe. Everything is being churned up and cleared out so that you can be a clear vessel for your own light. But with all transitions, this too will pass.


8 5 Signs of a Spiritual Awakening

I'm careful about talking about "signs" of a spiritual awakening, so whenever I do, I try to distill it down to the essential signs, which typically are deep senses of love and service to yourself and others.


7 Understanding Spiritual Sexuality

This post is actual a compilation of spiritual sexuality posts. I tend to disappoint people because they still think of sexuality solely in terms of relationship with another. While sex with another is simply stupendous fun, it is even more so when you truly know your own sexual energy and space. This blog helps people get started in that space of inner knowing.


6 Soulmates and Other Myths that Bind Our Love

Ah, soulmates. This is one of the ideas of perfect love, although lately the term "twin flames" is trying to replace it. Relationships are beautiful. However, true beauty in love comes with complete and total self-love. From that space, having a soulmate isn't quite so important. Click on the above link to see what else I talk about with that one.


5 Awakening the Mind: The Intellect Knows Its Place, The Internal Waters Still

I think this one got popular partially because of StumbleUpon traffic and partially because people just want to know that its possible for their minds to finally quiet down. So, yes. It is possible, and you don't have to wait around for an awakening if you want this. You simply start to go within and pay attention to your thoughts instead of getting lost in their stories or fighting them.


4 2012, the Global Awakening, and the Apocalypse

 Egad! Are we all still here? Did we survive the Apocalypse? When you read this spiritual post, you'll see that how I view these "events" is very different than the commonly accepted ideas.


3 Facing Your Ego's Death

For many of you shifting in awakening, you will be watching aspects of your old ego self dissolve. At times, it can literally feel like you are dying, but this is why it is important to dis-identify with the ego self. The more you can see that an old way of acting and seeing the world is dying, the more at peace you will be during the process.


2 What Is a Spiritual Awakening?

This one isn't a surprise to me. Partially, it's because a lot of people have no idea what this term means and are searching the Internet to understand it. Personally, I'm glad that people are trying to understand my definition as well as creating their own. When you start to look at your definitions, then you start to understand your world and how you create meaning in it.


1 How Long Does a Spiritual Awakening Take?

Finally, here at number one as my post popular spiritual blog post of 2012 is the question, "How much longer do I have to stay on this bus?!"

Indefinitely. You chose it. But the initial shift will come to a resting rhythm. You will find that life still shifts and changes, and you will change with it. But the initial part does come to a completion. Click on the above link to find out more about that.


I hope you enjoy these posts, and I look forward to serving you all in 2013 with more interesting spirituality topics. Much love to everyone!
