This paper contributes to contemporary geographies of religion by exploring how everyday spaces of mobility and flows can be transformed through specific practices such as prayer and meditation that contribute to personal spirituality. The work challenges traditionally held assumptions that sacred space or codified religious spaces requires stillness and calmness by drawing on the New Mobilities Paradigm to explore how spiritual practices are conducted within the flows and movement that characterise contemporary everyday life. Using questionnaires and diary-interview methods, everyday journeys of participants captured how prayer, meditation and encounters with others and the environment facilitated by movement can transform and be transformed by mobility and the mode of travel. Participant’s accounts of their everyday mundane journeys reveal personalised associations of the everyday spaces that they travel through and the different routines they enact on a daily basis that incorporate religious objects, practices or ideas. These journeys and time-spaces form what I term a ‘subjective spiritual geography’, a network of the interrelated time-spaces threaded together by the individual’s schedule and routine that create, maintain and reinforce personal and informal religious meaning in everyday life. \nRésuméCet article contribue aux géographies contemporaines de la religion en explorant comment les espaces quotidiens de la mobilité et des circulations peuvent être transformés à travers des pratiques spécifiques comme la prière et la méditation qui contribuent à la spiritualité personnelle. Ce travail remet en question les hypothèses traditionnellement acceptés selon lesquelles l’espace sacré ou les espaces religieux codifiés nécessitent l’immobilité et le calme, en s’appuyant sur les nouveaux paradigmes de mobilités, afin d’explorer comment les pratiques spirituelles sont menées dans le cadre des circulations et mouvements qui caractérisent la vie quotidienne contemporaine. En utilisant les méthodes de questionnaires et de journal-entretien, les déplacements quotidiens des participants ont saisi comment la prière, la méditation ou les rencontres avec les autres et l’environnement, facilitées par le mouvement, peuvent transformer et être transformées par la mobilité et le mode de déplacement. Les récits des participants de leurs déplacements ordinaires quotidiens révèlent les associations personnalisées des espaces quotidiens qu’ils traversent et les différentes routines qu’ils accomplissent chaque jour incluant des objets religieux, des pratiques ou des idées. Ces déplacements et espace-temps forment ce que j’appelle une « géographie spirituelle subjective », un réseau connexe de l’espace-temps relié par les horaires et la routine de la personne qui crée, maintient et renforce la signification religieuse personnelle et informelle de la vie quotidienne. \nResumenEste trabajo contribuye a las geografías contemporáneas de religión explorando cómo los espacios cotidianos de la movilidad y de los flujos pueden ser transformados a través de prácticas específicas tales como la oración y la meditación, que contribuyen a la espiritualidad personal. El trabajo desafía a aquellas conjeturas tradicionales que establecen que el espacio sagrado o los espacios religiosos codificados requieren quietud y tranquilidad basándose en el nuevo paradigma de las movilidades para explorar cómo las prácticas espirituales se llevan a cabo dentro de los flujos y del movimiento que caracterizan la vida cotidiana contemporánea. Usando cuestionarios y métodos de entrevista con diarios, los viajes cotidianos de los participantes capturaron cómo la oración, la meditación y los encuentros con otros y el medio ambiente facilitado por el movimiento pueden transformarse y ser transformados por la movilidad y el modo de viajar. Los relatos de los participantes sobre sus viajes cotidianos mundanos revelan asociaciones personalizadas de los espacios cotidianos por los que viajan y las diferentes rutinas que llevan a cabo diariamente, las que incorporan objetos religiosos, prácticas o ideas. Estos viajes y espacios de tiempo forman lo que se denomina en este trabajo una ‘geografía espiritual subjetiva’, una red de espacios de tiempo interrelacionados, unidos por el programa y la rutina del individuo que crea, mantiene y refuerza el significado religioso personal e informal en la vida cotidiana
