There are certain activities that, when practiced in solitude and quiet, can provide optimal conditions for spiritual awareness and growth. While spiritual awareness and growth may not be coaxed or coerced at will, they still may be actively pursued. The activities listed in the multimedia slide may foster spiritual growth because certain aspects of these processes (e.g., focused mind and quiet time for decision-making) promote ideal environmental factors for enhancing spiritual capacities. These activities include, but are not limited to:

  1. Meditation
  2. Prayer
  3. Visualization
  4. Stretching
  5. Yoga
  6. Dreamwork
