NUDISM And SPIRITUALITY
Nudism and spirituality (in the modern sense) together bring us closer to Nature. Meditation is like inward prayer, communing with our inner being, our life spirit, making us happy and healthy.

Road to Spirituality
Return to DiscussionsI started out being nude simply because it felt good. Certainly, an adequate reason. It worked for me and it works for a lot of people.
Over time, nudity felt more and more spiritual -- nudity was drawing me closer to whom I really am and to my creator.
My creator says my body is good, fearfully and wonderfully made, and the temple of his set-apart spirit.
My body not something that should be hidden. It's not something to cause shame.
I now find clothing offensive because they are forced on me to protect them from seeing filthy, indecent, inappropriate, and shameful parts of my body. But my body has no such parts. My hands, feet, elbows, knees, and cock and balls are all equally presentable and lacking in shameful characteristics.
My edit would be to take away the TO and make nudity a spiritual road, path or practice.
However, removing clothes is simple compared to being spiritually naked or authentic. Nakedness is a means of vulnerability. Through vulnerability comes courage. I'm not speaking of a demonstrative, beating your chest courage, but of determination and no hesitation to do the right thing at the right time.
Whereas I agree that there is nothing about the body that's shameful, I don't consider clothes shameful either. Maybe it comes from being Nordic and needing clothes to survive. The trick is cocooning my body in clothes to stay warm but to not close my mind and become too comfortable in my thoughts in the process.
I consider spiritual nakedness important, the gift of not hiding behind anything real or imagined. Nudity - focused on removing clothing rather than remaining in our natural state - is more attention-seeking to me.
Spirit nakedness is a sense of unfiltered, responsive presence that says more, ah, THERE you are, than hey, here I AM.
I don't know what "TO" means. Other than that, I believe my thoughts are closely aligned with yours.
A agree that clothing to protect the body from extreme and hazardous condition is good.
But clothing because someone thinks there's something shameful about my body is not good.
I focused on physical nudity because this site is about physical nudity.
Being spiritually nude -- open, honest, and transparent -- is very much how I live my daily life.
Oh, now I get it. You put "to" I all caps, TO, and I thought it was an abbreviation for something.
Yes. I see nudity as being spiritual -- and very spiritual at that, but I also see it as a vehicle to spirituality -- greater spirituality.
