In the Summer 2008 issue of Hungryhearts, Spiritual Directors International member Kent Ira Groff lists seven basic practices for staying spiritually fit:
  1. Honest-to-God prayer that expresses exhilaration and exhaustion;
  2. Balancing one’s schedule with sabbath and action, silence and speech;
  3. Self-nurturing spiritual practices in community and solitude;
  4. Spiritual mentoring and healthy friendships with appropriate boundaries;
  5. Transforming failure by mining gifts in weaknesses and strengths;
  6. Integrating of the mystical, political, intellectual, and physical arenas;
