Spiritual HealthSpiritual health is vital to well being and influences all of life. It is important to our overall health. A powerful sense can exist in the presence of disease and healing can exist in absence of a cure. It is manifested when one experiences harmonious connection internally,with other persons and with nature and your higher power. It is through our relationships with others that we can fully understand ourselves and nurture our spirituality. It is the overriding power of stress and challenged emotional health. It even appears to increase overall longevity. Quite often it is generally an overlooked aspect of healing. However,it is actually the ultimate goal of holistic medicine and leads to a heightened awareness of the creator or Divine Spirit referred by most religions. It is very much like physical health. To be healthy is to be whole or in a state of well being and it is not just for religious people,it has application and importance for everyone. Like other dimensions of health,the spiritual dimension needs to be developed,or to use a more common term,it needs to be practiced. Faith can provide people with a sense of purpose and guidelines for living. When families face tough situations,including health problems,their spiritual beliefs and practices can help them fight feelings of helplessness,restore meaning and order to life situations and promote regaining a sense of control. 
Spiritual health can be found by tapping into a source of energy that brings us love,hope,optimism and empowerment. It along with physical health are linked. Our mental health is greatly affected by it. It is more important than our physical health, physical looks,social health and our material health. Motivation is the key too just about everything in life that we practice. Taking time to follow a healthy regimen reflects on our spiritual health and gives us a chance to rise above our pain and feel better inside and out. Our well being can be improved by prayer and meditation. Everything you are looking for is inside you. In fact,science states that the very reason we are born is to experience our true blissful nature by completing our Destiny and making spiritual progress through practice. Also remember that you don’t have to be perfect at it. Progress is what is sought. The more positive and enthusiastic you are,the more your faculties will stretch beyond any limitations you may have thought you had. Perhaps spiritual health can best be described as using our potential to engage the spiritual muscles on a regular and frequent basis. In times of change which often produces stress, we are called upon quite regularly to use our inner resources and come through as the victor,not the victim. Be good to yourself because you are worth it. Life Is! :)
