spirituality
n.
quality of being spiritual; involvement in spiritual matters; spiritual aspect of a person
Spirituality
Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the
spirit. The spiritual, involving (as it may) perceived non-physical
eternal verities (or even abilities) involving humankind's ultimate
nature, often contrasts with the
earthly, with the
material, or with the
worldly. A perceived sense of
connection forms a central defining characteristic of spirituality — connection to a metaphysical reality greater than oneself, which may include an emotional
experience of
religious awe and
reverence, or such states as
satori or
Nirvana. Equally importantly, spirituality relates to matters of
sanity and of
psychological health. Like some forms of religion, spirituality often focuses on personal
experience (see
mysticism) and
prayer.
