In the Spiritual Module, you’ll have space and time to consider your beliefs and practices. You might already know what is true for you, or you might explore new angles of what spirit means to you. Once again, the reflection questions in the workbook will guide your exploration. And as always, I’ll be asking: Have you shared your thoughts on this aspect of life with those who matter to you?

In this Module about our Emotional Lives and Relationships, you’ll be swimming in your (undoubtedly) rich and complex emotional life. This is a big arena for we humans! You don’t have to solve everything, and sometimes “lack of resolution” is exactly where things land. But whether you are intrigued by gratitude or forgiveness, see if you can enter this realm with an attitude of curiosity and possibility.

In the Practical and After Death Care Module, you’ll be thinking hard about your practical paperwork – is it all up to date and in order? If not, you’ve already got an action step, right there. You’ll also be thinking about what you’d like to have happen after you die. What matters to you at this stage? No, sorry, you cannot opt out and say, “Doesn’t matter to me, I’ll be dead!” Let's get to work!
