Precisely,what is spiritual well being? What does it mean? Is it essential at all for our overall well being?
If we look at our lives, one way of looking at our well being is by looking at the different aspects of it. Physical well being is when our body is well tuned; we eat well, we exercise and we usually maintain our body well. We also can call physical well being our capacity to control our capacity to "survive" in the world. We manage our money responsibly and we are able to create the results we want in the world of affairs.
Mental wellness or well being indicates that our thoughts are well balanced. We have the ability to think "straight" with steps that will take us from point A to B. Our activities are well structured and have a sturdy thinking behind them.
Emotional well being means we are able to deal with our emotions effectively. We face them, we have the capacity to regulate our reactions to them and we can manage them well in our day to day activities. We are not controlled by them. When someone speaks to us in a way that we don't like, it won't ruin our day or we don't become reactive, we don't blame others for our emotional instability.
When it comes to spiritual well being, we are referring to about everything that is not physical, psychological or emotional. The difficulty with spirituality is that it could not really be explained like other types of well being.
It's a bit comparable to music. You can comprehend all different sorts of popular music, whether it's jazz music or classic but music is an experience, something that could not be explained.
Spirituality is also an experience, something that cannot be explained. Our mind cannot realize spirituality so it cannot bring us a spiritual experience.
Religion can lead to spirituality but it doesn't lead to it automatically. You can live a spiritual life, be on a spiritual path without ever going to any temple or place of worship.
Because spirituality cannot be clarified, the best that we could possibly do is to aim towards it, never ever in fact comprehending it. Nonetheless it absolutely is possible to stroll to it if we have the yearning to do so and some discipline.
So to define spiritual well being, I would say it's to experience a dimension of existence that is new. It's to remain in a state similar to the one we are in when we are sleeping and be still very alert and efficient in the physical world. Spiritual well being means not being touched by the events that life throws at you because your experience of life is deep within you. The continuous outside storm doesn't get to you. You have a reality of your own, integrated to Life; you are aligned with life's foundations, not just the circus it creates.
A particular degree of ease takes over you. You are not regulated by your emotions, you are not managed by your thoughts or by your physical desires and you experience life to its fullest.
This is what spiritual well being or taking a spiritual path means.
