What Are Spiritual Disciplines? Spiritual disciplines are habits, practices, and experiences that are designed to develop, grow, and strengthen certain qualities of spirit — to build the “muscles” of one’s character and expand the breadth of one’s inner life. They structure the “workouts” which train the soul. Some spiritual disciplines are personal, inward exercises that are practiced alone; others require interpersonal relationships and are practiced in community.
Throughout time, many philosophers, theologians, and writers have proposed a number of practices that might be considered spiritual disciplines. These include:
  • Meditation
  • Prayer
  • Fasting
  • Simplicity
  • Fellowship
  • Journaling
  • Chastity
  • Stewardship
  • Study
  • Evangelism
  • Contemplation
  • Gratitude
  • Self-Examination
  • Silence
  • Celebration
We have chosen eight of these spiritual disciplines as being the most vital for  the modern day and inclusive of varying belief systems, and which incorporate several of the other disciplines within them.
