THE SPIRITUAL

SELF
Group 3
 INTRODUCTION
• The body is believed to be made up of three components: body, soul, and
spirit.The body is the physical being that responds to stimuli and
communicates with the surroundings. The soul comprises the emotions and
thoughts of a person, while the spirit is the intangible aspect that
communicates with deities in the spiritual realm.

• Human being are incomplete without the spirit. Religion teaches us the
value of a higher being who develops in us our morality and conscience. It
is vital that we explore how to nourish the spiritual self through our
religious belief and practices.
THE SPIRITUAL SELF…….

• The spiritual self is considered as the higher self, the

inner self, and a person's true being that is greatly
influenced by a spiritual deity.

• Spiritual deities whom people believed vary from one

religious group to another. From history, people's lives
have been shaped by their religious traditions and
practices.
“When you examine the lives of the most influential
people who have ever walked among us, you discover
one thread that winds through them all. They have been
aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then
with their physical selves.”
-Albert Einstein

SPIRITUAL SELF AND COPING WITH
STRESS
• Individuals with faith in a higher being are able to face life challenges with greater
confidence and hope.

• The impossible becomes possible and the difficult becomes manageable, because of
divine intervention and guidance.

• According to Dr. Seppala of Stanfor University's Center for Compassion and

Altruism research, spiritual people engage in practices that can help reduce levels
or of stress (Miller, K. 2020).

• Spiritually active people cope with stress through meditation to help rather than
overeating or engaging in unhealthy coping behaviors. Meditation provides
benefits, such as focus to decrease pain and depression together with improved
health and happiness.
• Religious people choose to spend quality time with family, and they feel a strong
sense of belonging to a community of like- minded people.

• Lastly, spiritual people have a very high regard to prayer. Prayer helps people
find comfort by assisting them in dealing with difficult emotions, encouraging
forgiveness, and leading healthier r relationships.

• Spirituality is not a simple subject for experiential study, It is actually a

complex system that requires serious and dedicated effort.

• Nevertheless, considering the positive correlation between spiritual, physical,

and psychological well-being, health experts and practitioners can undeniably
include spirituality in practice in order to help patients recover from their
illness.
