Rule of Life

If you have spent any time at all exploring contemplative spirituality you will have come across the idea of a Rule of Life.

Finding it’s origin in the Benedictine way of life, a ‘rule of life’ allows people to reflect on their unique identity and then create habits and practices which assists them in fully embracing the gift that is their life. 

There are many approaches to crafting or creating a rule of life but the one which I have personally found most helpful is from author Stephen Macchia as outlined in his book ‘Crafting a Rule of Life‘. 

A handful of years ago I had the great joy of sitting down with him to explore this further. 

You can watch that interview here, I hope it encourages you to consider how a rule of life could help you. 

I also shared on my own rule of life on the ‘Deep Soul Nine’ podcast, you can listen to that below.
