Spiritual practices in many ways can help to promote mental health and manage stress.  The spirit is the Life Force. The force that brings our body to life. Our spirit has the capability to connect to something bigger than ourselves. Spirituality is the way to discover the meaning and the purpose of life.  It is something that is defined by the way we experience and connect to self, to others, to nature, to everything around us in a positive way.

When we cultivate our spirituality, it helps to improve our emotional well-being. There is a meaningful connection between emotional and spiritual well-being.  Emotional health is about cultivating a positive state of mind, which can broaden your outlook to recognize and incorporate a connection to something larger than yourself. Thus, emotions and spirituality may be different. but are somehow linked, deeply integrated with one another, and responsible for our overall well-being.

When we seek to nurture our spirituality, we are creating a positive state of mind, that provides positive emotions, such as, happiness, peace, acceptance and gratitude.  It provides us clarity and the guidance needed to make the right decisions, and find solutions to many of our daily problems.

Hence. we have achieved optimal emotional health and gain an understanding or new perspective of an interconnectedness with the world through spiritual practices.
