Once you feel a connection to the divine, you really want to maintain it, and for good reason. But if you ignore all the other pieces of connection that got you here, your connection to the divine will quickly fall apart and you will find yourself back in earlier stages. So ironically, to maintain my connection to the divine, I must start by maintaining my connection to my experiences, to my body, mind and needs, to others, to my ideology, to questioning everything, to purpose, and then to the divine. That is, I employ daily habits and routines that help to shore up complete connection, and divine connection flows naturally from that space. Connection to the divine is actually a natural state. I simply remove the barriers and maintain the open space to allow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That looks like everything from getting enough sleep, to exercise, nutrition, sex, helping others, meditation, Reiki and all the daily habits that keep me in later stages and allow that divine connection to flourish. I am so thankful for each and every beautiful connection that leads to this space.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An audience-question answer explaining that maintaining connection to the divine depends on first maintaining every other layer of connection \u2014 to experience, body, mind, needs, others, ideology, questioning, and purpose \u2014 sustained through daily habits of sleep, exercise, nutrition, meditation, and service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[1888,31],"project_tag":[958,1561,1592,1129,180,1593,1594,919,856,977,70,1137,985,308,1596,655,86,507,165],"series":[],"class_list":["post-2092","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-consciousness","project_category-observations","project_tag-attending-to-your-needs","project_tag-audience-question","project_tag-connecting-to-the-devine","project_tag-connecting-to-the-one-consciousness","project_tag-connection","project_tag-daily-habits","project_tag-daily-rituals","project_tag-exercise","project_tag-journaling","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-love","project_tag-maintaining-connection","project_tag-nutrition","project_tag-peace","project_tag-priorities","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-purpose","project_tag-questions","project_tag-time"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For readers who have touched divine connection and want to keep it, this shows how complete connection across every layer of life is what sustains it.
