What is exactly spiritual well being? Does it actually suggest anything? Is it essential at all for our general well being?
If we look at our lives, one way of looking at our well being is by looking at the different aspects of it. Physical well being is when our body is well tuned; we eat well, we exercise and we usually maintain our body well. We also can call physical well being our capacity to control our capacity to "survive" in the world. We manage our money responsibly and we are able to create the results we want in the world of affairs.
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; discussing it is not enough. Our mind cannot realize spirituality so it cannot bring us a spiritual experience.
Religion can lead to spirituality but it doesn't lead to it automatically. You can live a spiritual life, be on a spiritual path without ever going to any temple or place of worship.
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.
