Welcome to Richard Edward Ward and Reconnecting With Spirit on richardedwardward.com.

For more than fifty years I have been exploring many spiritual traditions while searching for a deeper understanding of Spirit, God the Creator, Great Mystery and Source of All.

I have been searching for ways of Reconnecting With Spirit.

Along the way, as I have followed my spiritual paths, I have been blessed with many teachers, guides, and mentors whose wisdom has helped shape my own path.

My journey has included Anglican Church of Canada Christianity, Theology at McGill University, Reiki, Science of Mind, Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, New Thought, Core Shamanism, Celtic Shamanism, Kabbalah, Taoism, and many other traditions.

I have been trying to understand the wisdom the traditions share and appreciating the unique gifts that each one had to offer to me.

Everything on this website has grown from my lifelong spiritual explorations.

We Are Spiritual Beings

We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience.

The Light of God the Creator is always present within us and around us.

And yet, many of us have lost awareness of that connection amidst the pain, suffering, loss, joys, challenges, distractions, and responsibilities of everyday life.

Reconnecting With Spirit

Reconnecting With Spirit is a lifelong practice of becoming more aware of God the Creator’s presence around us and in us.

I use a variety of simple daily practices such as prayer, meditation, gratitude, contemplation, forgiveness, service, time in nature, as I have continued my spiritual explorations.

Every one of us walks a unique spiritual path.

My purpose is not to tell you what you should believe.

I simply wish to share my experience, strength, hope, about the practical tools that have helped me throughout my own explorations.

My hope is that by sharing I will help you to discover what is most meaningful for you on your own spiritual path.

Be Practical and Expect Miracles

One simple thought has guided much of my life:

“I am practical and expect miracles, when I just take the first step forward every day.”

Real spiritual growth is often found in ordinary moments.

One prayer.

One act of kindness.

One moment of gratitude.

One step forward.

Taken consistently, these simple practices gradually deepen our awareness of Spirit.

There are many ways of Reconnecting With Spirit.

I invite you to explore these pages and discover those that speak most deeply to you.
