Yet many of us don\u2019t have a place of worship where we feel at home. And those of us who do may find that once a week just isn\u2019t enough for a \u201cGod fix.\u201d Some of us want more.\u00a0If you&#8217;re one of these people, you\u2019re a great candidate for creating a personal daily devotional practice.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to create a daily practice that will serve you. The most important things to remember are:<\/p>\n<p>1. It&#8217;s important that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/empower-yourself-meditation.html\/\">your daily practice<\/a><\/strong> feels inviting. If you don\u2019t love doing it, you just won\u2019t do it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>2. There&#8217;s no right or wrong way to practice your devotions, only your way or not your way. You may gain inspiration from the practices of others, and even model your devotions on theirs. However, over time, you will make your practice more and more your own. And this is as it should be.<\/p>\n<p>3. Your daily practice does not need to be the same from day to day.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph Waldo Emerson said, \u201cA foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.\u201d The only consistency needed is the mindful kind that keeps your practice clear and your heart singing.<\/p>\n<p>4. Stick with it. Even love affairs don\u2019t run on their own juice all the time. Sometimes you need to continue working out the kinks as you go, and sometimes it feels like a lot of work, and sometimes you may just want to give up loving. But remember that the love does return, and you will be inspired and enlightened by it in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Your daily devotions are a sacred undertaking that will allow you to offer yourself fully to the God or Gods you serve. This is a gift that gives to you, and will give through you as well. There is no better way to create a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/keep-passion-alive.html\/\">passionate and actualized connection<\/a><\/strong> with the power of All That Is.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lasara Firefox Allen is an author, educator, activist, and coach.
