Spirituality & Health – purpose and connection
As highlighted in an earlier post, health is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. For many people, spiritual health is a vital component of their overall sense of wellbeing.
Christina Puchalski, MD, Director of the George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health, contends that:
“Spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred.”
Defines Spirituality as “integral to, but not confined by, religion and faith. It is about what gives us a purpose to our lives. It is about our sources of meaning and hope, which in turn is intimately related to our connectedness to ourselves, to others and the world”.
So what are the ways that we can explore & enhance our spiritual health?
- Reflection/Introspection – what do you value? What are your beliefs? What gets you up in the morning? How do you see your life’s purpose? What are your passions? What is the/your bigger picture?
- Healthy Lifestyle – food, sleep, exercise, meditation/mindfulness activities, balance, smoking/drinking/drugs, breaks/holidays…
- Expressing Yourself – having good outlets for your opinions and views; consider journaling, blogging, keeping a diary; connecting with like minded people via groups, clubs, religious/cultural organisations; trying new experiences; travel – meet new people; read widely; be open to new ideas & beliefs.
- Positive Environment – positive outlook, home, work, social, sunlight/nature, noise, air temperature/quality, practice gratitude & forgiveness, unplug from technology…
What other suggestions would you make? Does ‘spirituality’ play an important role in your life? In what ways? Do you know if it plays an important part in the lives of your family & friends? Why not start a conversation with yourself & others about spirituality?… it may be revealing & rewarding.
