Shivani Mansingh on Spirituality and the Sacred: Finding Purpose Beyond the Self

Across centuries and civilizations, one of humanity’s most enduring sources of purpose has been spirituality a connection to something larger than the self.

This does not always mean religion. It can be a sense of the sacred, a quiet awe, or a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things. Whether through bhakti in India, honoring ancestors in African and Indigenous cultures, or the divine beauty in Sufi poetry, spirituality helps dissolve the ego and deepen our experience of love, grace, and belonging.

Shivani Mansingh, Coach and Creator of the Made for More program, explores this universal path to meaning in her #PurposePaths series a 16-part journey into how people across the world discover and sustain purpose.

In this reflection, Shivani invites us to consider:

• What anchors us beyond roles, titles, or achievements?

• How do practices of prayer, gratitude, silence, or contemplation deepen our resilience?

• What moments remind us that life itself is precious?

Grounded in research such as findings in The Journal of Positive Psychology linking spirituality to greater life satisfaction Shivani highlights how spirituality expands perspective for leaders, creators, and seekers alike.

Her message is simple yet profound: You don’t need to define it. You only need to feel it.

✨ Reflection Prompt:
What spiritual or sacred practice (formal or informal) connects you to a deeper sense of meaning? When do you feel most aligned with something greater?

Through Made for More, Shivani helps individuals not just explore purpose, but translate it into action—with integrity, grace, and impact.
