Music can affect us emotionally and physically. If you enjoy listening to piano music, this is a beautiful piece: Variations on the Canon by Johann Pachelbel with arrangement by George Winston.

Have you ever stared steadily into another person’s eyes for just a few minutes but what seemed like an eternity? Eyes can be piercing and intimidating to others. The eyes are the greatest connection to the flesh’s soul. They can be fierce, intense, and passionate. The eyes are clear indicators of what we are thinking and feeling. They express love, sadness, happiness, lust, strength, violence, etc. Gaze into the eyes of a person, and you will see through to the depths of their being. The eyes can tell a lot…
The essence of who you are is your spirit, soul, inner being, or life-force. Spirituality is when you experience a direct connection of your inner most being with the divine power of the universe.
Organized religion is when you follow someone else’s collection of beliefs, customs, and/or rituals.
You can practice spirituality without belonging to a specific religion; you can also be religious but not spiritual; and lastly, you can certainly practice spirituality while belonging to an organized religion. I recommend doing whatever keeps you aligned with the divine power and on the right path in life.
