Chapter 8:

The Basics On Spiritual Health

Synopsis

Our spirit is technically not part of our physical attributes, but it is considered a significant part of our wholeness as human beings. Our body works in harmony with our mind and spirit, thus each of them can affect one or the other. Having said that, if you are concerned with your physical and mental health you also need to be equally concerned with your spiritual wellbeing.

Get In Touch

Many of us are not aware that having a healthy spirit allows our body to heal faster as it can contribute good energy while you are in the process of healing. While it is not considered the actual cure, it is still considered a part of your treatment since it can greatly help you manage any pain and complications that usually go with an illness.

Spiritual health can be attained when you’re life is in perfect harmony. Meaning, you find comfort even when you are in pain and you find hope even when you are in despair. Life is completely different when your spirit is healthy.

Sometimes when we are seriously ill, we tend to forget our beliefs and just let it die because we feel that our sickness is eating us up. But what we do not know is that when we are spiritually healthy, we have more strength to combat sicknesses of any form simply because we are complete beings. Therefore when our body, mind as well as our spirit is in harmony, our chance to recover fast is high.

On the other hand, if you feel that your spiritual health is not in good shape, take time to reflect and look at how you live your life in a wider perspective. Stop for a while and listen to your inner soul and feel its calmness. That way you can well understand the very essence of your life, what is it that makes you feel complete and where exactly it is that you find your inner strength. Above all, keep a positive outlook on life and you will see how your life will change for the better.
