Good Morning Friends, Tuesday, September 02, 2008. My day starts with Satsang at Dadaji’s house. Satsang is best way to start a day. It brings positivity and happiness from within. It remains all the day. I was searching for something good on net and I find this article. It’s something I love to read. It says people who have strong spiritual beliefs and practices are generally more resilient in the face of life crises and tend to have an easier time recovering form some physical illnesses. The complete article I share here.
If long ago our ancestors knew a fundamental truth that we are only recently rediscovering: good mental health is inextricably intertwined with deep spiritual development.
Transpersonal psychologists in the past several decades have produced good science that shows that people who have strong spiritual beliefs and practices are generally more resilient in the face of life crises, and tend to have an easier time recovering from some physical illnesses.
This should not be surprising. After all, the psyche — a Greek word for soul — which has come to be used for the mind or one’s consciousness in modern times, is inescapably spiritual in its core nature. And so are we. This does not mean that we must return to church or temple, or become ultra religious to fulfil the promise of deep spirituality as a safeguard for mental and physical health. Let’s not confuse religious belief and observance with spiritual development, which is about cultivating awareness, empathy and wisdom, being of service, and having tolerance and integrity — all virtues that can and should apply no matter what religious framework one believes in. Healing emotions often involves developing one’s spirituality.
