Spirituality

Studies have shown that those with a regular spiritual belief live longer and have better overall physical and mental health. The confusion is there is a difference between spirituality and religion. Bernie Siegal has a wonderful distinction. He states; “ In our culture, for many people, religion can be a destructive force. In some cases religion seems to be teaching people that they deserve to suffer, they are sinners, and disease is an appropriate punishment. Those rules are all made by humans. If one accepts the message of spirituality and love, grace is available to all.”

Spirituality cam include faith, prayer, meditation, a sense of a meaning to life, a sense of closeness with a higher power, interactions with others that reflect upon spiritual awareness to name a few spiritual connections. It is important to remember spirituality is vast. It is endless. Through our spiritual connection we become connected to ourselves and to others, which can give us hope and insight.
