Spirituality In Life

Spirituality is a broad concept for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all. People may describe a spiritual experience as sacred or transcendent or simply a deep sense of aliveness and interconnectedness.
Some may find that their spiritual life is intricately linked to their association with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue. Others may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Still others seek meaning through their connections to nature or art. Like your sense of purpose, your personal definition of spirituality may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships.
People are having many spiritual questions in their life like...
1. Am i good person?
2. Do things happen for a reason?
3. What is the meaning of suffering?
4. How can i live my life in the best way possible?

Thus, emotions and spirituality are distinct but linked, deeply integrated with one another,

Spirituality v/s Emotional health
Spirituality is about seeking a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, which can result in positive emotions, such as peace, awe, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance
Emotional health is about cultivating a positive state of mind, which can broaden your outlook to recognize and incorporate a connection to something larger than yourself
“In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.  “Barbara de Angelis”
Exploring your spiritual, deeper, more mysterious side can be one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. Spirituality can give you clarity, vision, and guidance where you had confusion, disappointment and lack of purpose. It can awaken your senses and arouse your intuition.
Spiritual truths can answer many important questions and give you the ability to see things beyond the surface. Everything begins to take on a deeper significance and your choices no longer stem from ignorance of the universal spiritual laws.
Rather than blaming everyone and everything for what you do not have you begin to examine your thought patterns, emotions, behaviours and overall ways of relating to the world. You become aware that as you shift your perspective, your experience of the world can transform speedily and drastically.
People who say that as you become more spiritual, life becomes more serious, have a lack of understanding of real spirituality. The more connected you become to the spirit within you, the lighter things get, as you develop an ability to laugh at yourself more and to recognize that this world is a playground for exploration.
You also realize that joy, happiness, fun and laughter are integral parts of your life and are necessary for your overall wellbeing.
As you come into a spiritual communion with your Divine essence, you begin to attract people into your life, who will have a deeper connection and an understanding of who you are and what is important to you.
