Spirituality can come from practice of a religion or it can be completely seperate. I have no religion, how ever I consider myself a spiritual person, why? Because I practice spiritual principles such as honesty, openmindedness, willingness, tolerance, faith, trust, humility, love, etc... I do this b/c when I live by spiritual principles, my life is better, it has nothing to do with religion.

THats awesome about your first meeting **** ma...it does work and you don't ever have to become religious for it to, you just have to believe it can work for you.
