haptalaonOne thing ive tried which is working well is the concept of Reading - which is basically finding books, films and music which can stand in for a kind of Sunday sermon. It's totally normal for Christians to engage with the spiritual by sitting down and passively taking in information. And while we may criticise this (hierarchical; not participatory; not as intense and immediate a connection), it'd nevertheless a very easy way to keep the spiritual present and in mind.
I've got a fair amount on my Reading List now - a little shelf at home - so I can just sit and watch the telly, but specially chosen telly which I know evokes ideas, moods and themes. I often, but not always, come out of it with new insights, or having been tripped into that sense of the spirit.
I know it sounds kinda horrendous ("want to be a Pagan? Spend more time inside watching TV! It's basically the same!"), but it's...what I can do, and you always have to start with that.
