Bringing Your Spirituality into the Workplace

In our last newsletter we discussed how the concerns of spirituality could be brought to bear on work place issues. One of the areas that was highlighted was how individuals can use spiritual intelligence to improve their own functioning in the workplace. Spiritual tools can help us grow and help us function optimally when dealing with conflict, providing customer service, or working as part of a team.

One of the ways in which we can think about bringing spirituality into the workplace is as a kind of secret weapon for increasing personal productivity and focus. We have all experienced moments when the creative juices simply refuse to flow. We may be confronted with a project that seems overwhelming and we simply do not know where to start. These situations present us with wonderful opportunities for tapping into our spiritual core in order to energize our work and us. I find it useful to practice these skills and techniques whenever I feel blocked in my work. As I sat down to write this newsletter I found that the great ideas that I wanted to share with you were not flowing easily on to the page. By taking three minutes to meditate and focus my energy I was able to get down to work and produce the newsletter you are now reading.

In the meditation that follows take your time between each set of images. I have indicated some logical places to pause with a series of dots …. Some people find it easier to record the mediation and play it back on their tape recorder.

Visualize, just above your head, a beautifully glowing ball of Light that has its Source in the Divine. See yourself being filled with the flow of infinite, life-giving light…. See yourself being energized by this flow from the Source Of All Life…. As you feel the power of this Light you begin to feel a sense of awe and amazement at the miracle of your own existence. Let that sense of awe flow into a feeling of gratitude and love, which you desire to share with others….

Imagine yourself at work tapping in to the Divine energy of this Light that now fills you and surrounds you….

Be aware of your thoughts, feelings and energy as you spend some time with this meditation. Your intuition will tell you when you are aligned with your own Highest Values and with the Mission of your organization….

See yourself energized by this life-giving light so that you see yourself giving 100 percent, working in a disciplined and focused manner, listening to and being aware of the needs of your customers and organization.

See yourself on track with your work, energetically involved, acting out the mission statement and optimally serving God, your organization and its customers….
