What is Spiritual Health
Spiritual health refers to a person’s sense of purpose, meaning, and inner peace. It encompasses beliefs, values, ethics, and community. A person with good spiritual health has self-awareness, empathy, and hope. They also can manage stress, grief, and life events positively. Spiritual health can be nourished through meditation, prayer, mindfulness, or connecting with nature.
Statistics
