So, although I have no belief in any deities and abhor religion generally, I still feel like there is some kind of spirit within me that needs feeding. I do that mainly by meditation. I'm interested to know if anyone out there has this need and if so how do you address the Need?
Interesting. I think of a "connection to everything" more than as a hunger, and nurture/comprehend rather than feed. Semantics I guess. Maybe all things affect said connection, some more than others. Meditation and wilderness more. Alcohol and turmoil less.
There's a meditation group on this site. Here is one. There might be others. [agnostic.com]
I agree there are energies given off by every living thing. I don't call them spirits, but I don't have a problem with this word referring to energies. And redirecting some of this energy to better tap into your body sounds like it should be a plus.
With all that said, I don't meditate. I have done pilates before though
