The Personal Power of Spirituality.



                       The word “spirituality” is often misunderstood.

               Many believe spirituality is associated with religion or

               religious beliefs, which is partly true. Religion is about

               being spiritual, however being spiritual is not necessarily

               the personal and essential reasons for being incarnate,

               their understanding and acceptance of God (The Great

               discovered pre-historic depiction’s of spirits and a divine

               force. Perhaps spirituality is the degree of awareness of
               The  Great  Spirit  (GOD),  and  acting  within  that
