Spiritual health is an important component of an individuals well being and an integral aspect of the holistic health philosophy.
Physical, mental, and spiritual health are deeply intertwined and have a profound effect on one another. For example, this is clearly exhibited when someone who is sad on the emotional level experiences fatigue, a loss of energy and/or decrease appetite on the physical level. On the spiritual level they feel out of touch with their true self and disconnected from the universe. When we feel lost and unbalanced, this may cause us to be moody and discontent with life. Perhaps we grow emotionally distant from our loved ones and on the physical level we may experience stress or fatigue.
On the other hand, when we feel connected and balanced spiritually, we feel better physically and emotionally. Everything in our life including physical and emotional pains are easier to deal with...we feel lighter and happier. Nourishing the soul is as important as food, water, and exercise.
Some people claim to have been healed spiritually. While this may seem a little more unusual, it does happen on occasion whether you believe it or not. I am speaking from first hand experience. My mother had a brain tumor over 10 years ago. The neurosurgeon was unable to remove all the tumor due to the fact that it was wrapped around a very important cerebral artery. Through our christian family, thousands of people from around the world were praying for her. She had a follow-up MRI one year later. The neurosurgeon just shook his head. He had no explanation, as he reviewed the films with my mom. He told her that there was no tumor present...period...nothing. These things do happen...miracles if you will. Even if you do not experience compete healing from whatever problem you are experiencing, spirituality can be used to help you feel better, cope with pain, symptoms, limits, and daily challenges so that you can continue to find meaning and purpose in your life...live life more fully...Empower Yourself...
Stay tuned for ways to improve you spiritual health...ways to live a happier, healthier life...ways to become more Empowered.
