Overview

Spirituality means something different to each and every one of us. It’s a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than us, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. Some may see spirituality through association with religion or a belief system while others may connect through nature, art, yoga, meditation, or quiet reflection to name a few. Research has shown that, “even skeptics can't stifle the sense that there is something greater than the concrete world we see.” Christina Puchalski MD, Director of the George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health, reports that, "spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred." Questions arise such as how do I find meaning in my life? How do I feel connected? How do I understand my own personal suffering and worry? What is right and wrong? What connects others to me? Can I learn to let go? Do I know my intentions? These are examples of a few questions one may ask them while on a spiritual journey of self-awareness. Let’s take a look at some examples of spirituality through videos, reading, and quiz’s for you to get to know yourself!
