Spirituality and Contemplative Practices

8/27/2017

In studying the effects of spirituality on individuals, many researchers have found that engaging in spiritual practices can have a positive effect on overall health and well-being. Its benefits have even been compared to eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
 
Spirituality takes on many shapes and sizes. For some, it is traditional faiths like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. Being part of a spiritual community can foster a sense of belonging, increase a sense of security and provide a support system.
 
But traditional religion may not be the path for everyone. Some may seek spirituality in the form of contemplative practices such as yoga and meditation. Others might feel a spiritual connection when engaging in nature, or in activities such as art and journaling.
 
Regardless of what form spirituality takes for you, it can promote a more positive outlook on life, relieve stress, inspire personal growth and encourage reflective practices.
 
Spirituality can help give meaning to life, foster hope and promote happiness and contentment – something we all strive for.
