Spiritual intelligence for a non -soul

Customers often tell me that they are fascinated by spirituality intelligenceBut it is still hesitant. They are concerned that they do not consider themselves spiritual, as it may not “work” for them. They ask: They can be spiritual and My work is really walking side by side?

I am always pleased to share that some of the leaders who trained-manage companies that run one billion dollars-are not defined as spiritual or religious at all. However, every day, they use spiritual intelligence to summon clarity, courage and purpose.

Spiritual Intelligence (SI) is the ability to apply and embody spiritual qualities and resources to enhance our daily lives and welfare. SI is different from intelligence and EquivalentAlthough it cannot be reached for non -believers.

If you are a skeptical person, this post suits you. You do not need a belief system to take advantage of SI. You just need to want to live your life in a deeper, larger sense authenticityAnd more powerful alignment with the truth.

From doubt to self -discovery

I had a customer once I would contact Kevin. Kevin was an engineer and an atheist through and lesson – skeptical of anything spiritual. When we started our work together, his wife just lost and was struggling to take care of their teenage children. Every morning, he was fighting to get himself out of the bed and stop hitting the “nap” button.

Despite the hesitation at the beginning, Kevin agreed to try an exercise where we compared how his body responded to simple phrases describing his morning experience: “I want to sleep” and “I want to comfort.” Immediately after expressing his need to rest, he started tearing. We explored as well, as he performed an exercise as he extended sympathy for himself in adolescence – which led to the perception of the younger self (who felt alone while his mother was fighting cancer). After our session, Kevin said that he felt that the “flow of love” between him and the younger himself, such as “warm glow” was his chest, which was a connection that extended to myself as well.

If you are skeptical like Kevin, you can reach these sensations even brain chemistry or announce all this The effect of the imaginary medicine. However, whether the bonds are spiritual, psychological, or nervous, their effect is real.

Of course, Kevin is still atheist. It is not as if he came out of these sessions a sudden believer with a higher force, and he does not have to do so. From wherever they came, the links he lived when communicating with the longing of his heart did not need to be divine to be meaningful. It can be simply found between him and me, or even inside his body. This act of weak self -care, which reflects the characteristics of SI Openness And sympathy, Word Kevin throughout our session and beyond, which helps him restore him incentivize.

What does the research say

I am not the first to study spiritual intelligence-professionals like Danah Zohar began to set the foundation in the 1990s. Steadfastness(7) mental health, (eighth), individual (ninth) and organizational (x), (xi) productivityFor example, but not limited to.

As part of a doctorate research, I met more than 70 spiritual leaders from all over the world spiritual and wisdom Traditions. In distillation of these conversations, twenty -two characteristics have identified the assembly in five areas: the basis of spiritual intelligence framework.

1. Meaning: This field revolves around the goal and service – how we derive from the importance of our daily activities and interactions.
2. Grace: Grace revolves around planting our days with beauty and joy DentalAnd live on the basis of trust, even amid irritation of life, difficulties, or even tragedies.
3. The truth: The truth is our commitment to searching for and understanding what is real and meaningful, which gives priority to what He is Directly on the need to prove ourselves right.
4. Awareness and wisdom: This field focuses on cultivated self -knowledge through intuitionand dreamsAnd inquiries.
5. Abuse: The transcendence revolves around the realization of our interdependence – understand that each of us is a unique cell within a larger and distinct being identity But not independent of the total.

This may seem somewhat familiar to anyone who coincides with “values ​​in psychology” in the stock of work (I will add, more than half of the 22 capabilities overlap with “24 values ​​at strengths at work”). The word “soul” comes from Latin spiritIn the sense of “moving breathing” or “the power of life”. This highlights how these characteristics appear naturally when we are rooted in the essence of us.
