As we seek to grow in spiritual awareness, we can take inspiration and guidance from the monks and nuns of the Middle Ages. They passed through four stages in the awakening and development of spiritual awareness.

In exploring the lives of these saints, we can be inspired on our own journey.
Focus on Virtue
As we progress through the four stages, it’s helpful to follow the advice of the great yogi Patanjali: When faced with a problem or flaw, put your energy on the opposite virtue.
