Monk Considerations.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I have been considering becoming a monk lately. I was raised Catholic but now I just seek wisdom and Truth in any tradition or situation. What options do I have and where can I find out more?
Response:
It depends on where you live and whether you are willing to move. Since you are familiar with Catholicism, you can initially check out any local monasteries in your area and see what kind of programs they offer. Beyond that, you need to think deeply about what kind of contemplative practice and lifestyle you are comfortable with. Some ashrams and monasteries put greater emphasis on prayer and meditation and others focus more on work and service to others. Once you have a greater understanding of what contemplative path is right for you, it will be easier to find the right place.
