Spirituality means different things to different people. It is a broad and personalised concept that requires a sense of connection to something greater (God) than oneself. It comprises seeking meaning, purpose and transcendence in life. While Spirituality might seem religious, its not necessarily tied to any specific faith or belief. Certain school of thought, belief it can manifest through personal growth, self-awareness, community, or the universe, ethics and connection with nature.
Biblical Spirituality means to be born of God. Be changed by the grace of Jesus Christ, surrendered and obedient to the Holy Spirit, living accordingly and being empowered by the Holy Spirit to draw others to God. These are referenced in the following Biblical scriptures : John 1;12-13, John 3: 5-8, 1 John 4:7, Romans 12:1-2, Romans 8:4-11.
Spiritual practices might include prayers, fasting, worship, faith, meditation, mindfulness, ethical development, reading sacred text, spiritual retreats, gratitude, service to others, looking after your body and overall well-being. A Spiritual awakening may be triggered by big life changing events such as divorce, traumatic or near death experiences or an existential crisis, serious illness, death of a loved one, etc.
Trauma is a deeply distressing or painful experience that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. It stems from events like, violence, abuse, loss, natural disasters, significant life changes. It affects emotional, physical and psychological well-being, sometimes leaving long-lasting effects on their behaviour, thought patterns and relationships.
