Yaacov J. Kravitz, Ed.D., April 5, 2002 SHALOM, Peace.
Welcome to the Spiritual Intelligence®SM
Advisor. Each month I will be writing some brief reflections about
spirituality and using Spiritual Intelligence in your work. For more
information about Spiritual Intelligence and coaching for personal,
professional and spiritual success please visit the spiritualintelligence.com
web site. 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
yourself at work following your normal routine…. 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…. Open
your eyes and begin working.
