Spiritual Disciplines Oracle Card Spread

For those of you, who have never heard of the phrase spiritual discipline, a spiritual discipline is a practice or good habit that aids in personal and spiritual development. Some spiritual disciplines include prayer, meditation/solitude, celebration, generosity, thankfulness, journaling, yoga, walking, study/devotional, dancing, divination, and shamanic journeying.

Spiritual Discipline isn’t a phrase you hear often or at all in pagan or heathen circles. It is a phrase you hear among other religions, especially Abrahamic religions. However, we pagans can benefit from practicing spiritual disciplines if we are serious about our personal and spiritual development, and it is beneficial.

We benefit from the practice because it can help us stay in alignment with our highest good and help us continue to build a strong connection with our higher power (God, Goddess, Spirit, Universe).

How often you use this spread is up to you, whether daily, weekly, or so forth. But whatever you choose, I highly encourage you to keep a journal as well. To understand the importance of journaling, check out my podcast episode entitled, Journaling As A Spiritual Discipline.
