SPIRITUAL HEALTH:
Spirituality is unique to each individual. Your “spirit” usually refers to the deepest part of you, the part that lets you make meaning of your world. Your spirit provides you with the revealing sense of who you are, why you are here and what your purpose for living is. It is that innermost part of you that allows you to gain strength and hope. Spiritual wellness may not be something that you think much of, yet its impact on your life is unavoidable. The basis of spirituality is discovering a sense of meaningfulness in your life and coming to know that you have a purpose to fulfill. For some, spirituality may be equated with traditional religions such as
Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism. For others, it may mean growing in your personal relationships with others, or through being at peace with nature. A successful Spiritual health programme should help children in exploring not
just a relationship with God (or whatever you choose to call the greater process) but also with their own sense of divinity and greater purpose, and discovering a
sense of priorities outside of the physical realm. This is a process that can work within or completely without formal religion.
