Balancing Spiritual Practice with Family Life

"How can I maintain my spiritual practice and understanding whilst fully engaged with family responsibilities and a busy life? Rupert says: ‘Spiritual practice isn’t separate from family life – your family is your practice. Every interaction is an opportunity to express understanding. You don’t need to withdraw to find peace; find it in the midst of activity. Being present with your children, patient with challenges, loving through difficulties – this is spiritual practice in action. Don’t wait for quiet moments to be yourself; be yourself in all moments. The separation between spiritual and ordinary life is imaginary. Your being doesn’t require special conditions. It’s equally present changing nappies or in meditation. Let your understanding permeate your daily life rather than compartmentalising it.’"
