Chaplaincy Service
Spirituality is a broad concept often confused with religion. While spirituality can be part of a particular religion, it can also be independent of religion. Spirituality is the part of us that connects us our state of mind, being and place; it gives us a sense of belonging and purpose. Some people explore their spirituality through a relationship with a higher force, such as God, while others develop their spirituality through a self-directed relationship with their inner self. However, spirituality is practiced; it is as much a part of being human as physical, mental and emotional aspects. We all have a spirituality dimension. As with other dimensions – our physical, emotional and social dimensions – we need to maintain a strong, healthy sprit in order to maintain total wellbeing in mind, body and spirit.
