Spirituality

Would you agree that the mind, body, and spirit are all important? I feel the world has mastered various ways to accomplish mental and physical health. For example, nutritional and exercise information has been studied given on how to make our bodies look and feel good. A lot of psychological research has been developed on how to accomplish better mental health as well. However, it seems that most people around the world tends to neglect spiritual health, or, it is not as popular as the other two. This could be because a lot of people need to SEE in order to believe certain things. We all can see how our bodies transform from eating healthy and working out, and we all feel that we can control the way we think and the outlook of our lives. However, how can we SEE spirituality? How do we witness spiritual growth? I think society runs off of their mind and eyes, instead of their heart and feelings deep within them, in other words, their intuition.
So what is spirituality? I believe spirituality is an inner journey to discovering one’s true self. A journey where one will meet and communicate with the Ultimate Divine and gain true clarity about how life should be lived. I believe that spirituality is a journey to a “place.” A place away from the world. A place of peace, stillness, clarity, and balance. Spirituality, in my opinion, is about inner, self growth on a higher level. And once people reach that level of development, the next mission is to help others with their own personal self growth.
People reach this “place” in different ways using different methods. Some like to meditate on music or completely in silence. Others like to pray in the comfort of their homes or in a certain type of service. Some people enjoy relaxing around nature, such as a lake or a park. And still, others like to do activities such as yoga and tai chi. All of these activities are calming and bring us to a place of peace away from the world.
So for those who meditate, or use some other sort of method to connect with our higher self, why does the experience feel so great? Why do we have so much peace and happiness afterward? I believe because for those few little moments our of busy, hectic lives we are finally “home,” and we can feel it. We are closer and connected with the Higher Power.
The world is becoming more and more complicated, with unnecessary violence and other events due to our lack of spirituality. If people stopped taking actions based on over thinking, fear, and worldly intelligence, and instead channeled into their own hearts and true guidance to seek answers the world would be a much better place. Imagine what the world would be like if we all truly connected with our higher selves. If we stopped relying on the world to give us our answers to everyday life. I feel that it would truly be like Heaven, peaceful and full of clarity.
