REAL ENGLISH: Spiritual Vocabulary

Meditation? Yoga? Mindfulness? Healing? Psychonauts?! In the UK, US, and Canada, fewer and fewer people strictly follow traditional religions. Instead, many people choose individual elements and activities that they believe in and practice themselves. Together, we can group these together very broadly as “spiritual”. If you visit or live in an English-speaking country, you may be surprised to see how many classes, workshops, and groups exist for spiritual practices such as yoga, meditation, reiki, astrology, tantra, hypnosis, psychedelic exploration, and more. In this vocabulary and culture lesson, I will explain common spiritual vocabulary and also introduce you to the way many people in English-speaking countries today think and speak about their spiritual life and journey.
