What Is Spiritual Well Being ?

By Carl Serapian


What is spiritual well being? Does it really mean anything? Is it important at all for overall well being?

If we view our lives, one method of considering our well being is by looking at the different facets of it. Physical well being is when our physical body is well tuned; we consume well, we exercise and we often preserve our body well. We also could call physical well being our capacity to manage "survival" in the world. We handle our money responsibly and we have the ability to develop the results we desire in general.

Mental health or well being implies our thoughts are well balanced. We are able to see things clearly with steps that will take us from point A to point B. Our activities are well structured and have a strong reasoning behind them.

Emotional well being means we are able to manage our emotions efficiently. We encounter them, we can moderate our reactions to them and we can manage them well in our daily activities.

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.

You might know all different types of music, whether it's jazz, blues or classical. You can learn how to read notes and learn by heart all the instruments that exist. You still won't know music. Music is an experience, something that cannot be explained.

Spirituality is similar in some way to music; it cannot be explained. We as humans have the tendency to ignore or deny something that our mind cannot grasp. That is why we can do things that really hurt us such as creating bad habits or hurting people we love. We deal with life only to the extent that we experience it. If our mind doesn't grasp spirituality (which it won't) we simply ignore it and go on with our lives. There are many reasons for that and we will explore them together with time.

Religious beliefs can cause spirituality yet they don't bring it automatically. You can live a spiritual life, take a spiritual path without ever before going to any sort of temple or spot of praise.

Because spirituality cannot be clarified with speech or thoughts, the most effective thing to do is to aim towards it, never ever actually understanding it. Nevertheless it absolutely is feasible to stroll towards it if we have the yearning to do it and a minimal degree of urgency.

To point out spiritual well being, I would say it's to experience a dimension of existence that is new. Spiritual well being signifies not being "offended" with the affairs that life tosses at you because your experience of life is deeply rooted within you. It's not affected by what is happening outside of you.

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 being on a spiritual path means.
