 Those who feel a spiritual connection usually have a higher power to trust and focus on, enhancing their ability to cope with life and their health, mental well-being. Spirituality can be an emotional or religious connection that brings comfort and relief from stress."  As our world is hammered by chaos and fear from what seems like every possible source, it is a wise person who focuses upon the greater reward that is found in spirituality.  Whether it is religion or another path, the connection to the Higher Power brings forth a sense of control within that can sustain one through what is unmanageable on an individual level.


"Different studies have found that prayer and spirituality can promote better health, lower blood pressure, lower stress, Positive feelings, alleviate depression, psychological well-being, and a greater ability to handle stress. Those who are internally oriented and connect to a higher power seem to benefit from their spirituality more than those who are externally motivated, who use religion for making friends or increasing social standing.

"There are several ways an individual can practice spirituality, including prayer, being thankful and optimistic, and being positive about life’s trials. Feeling positive can mean focusing on your goals instead of your frustrations. A positive person often attracts more positive opportunities and people, making it easier to reach his goals. A positive person is more likely to give more of his energy to others, making it more likely that others will want to be around him and give back. This positive energy state is often called the Law of Attraction, which can be a spiritual life goal for many."

Those who feel a spiritual connection usually have a higher power to trust and focus on, enhancing their ability to cope with life and their health, mental well-being.  I can only speak for myself, but when I sit in meditation and focus upon spiritual growth, I feel a deep sense of peace and balance that flows through me that sustains me.
