What is spirituality by Adam Fata?

Spirituality means something greater than us. It’s a zone where we connect ourselves to achieve ultimate peace and satisfaction. It typically involves a search for a purpose in life. It’s greater than the happiness that we receive from the materialistic world. It is a spiritual experience that is sacred or transcendent and simply a deep sense of aliveness.

Spirituality is not a single belief system. There are many ways to experience spirituality. How you define spirituality may vary. For many people spirituality is linked to their religion. They associate it to their place of worship. Some may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. And some people may link it to nature and art. There are many ways to experience spirituality. People use breath work, meditation, and prayer to experience spirituality. But the most popular way among people these days to achieve spirituality is yoga. Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices which originated in India and aim to control and still the mind, recognizing detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind and mundane suffering. Many people use yoga to experience spirituality, but it also has many health benefits.

The other most effective way to experience spirituality is meditation. It is a practice in which an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness focusing the mind on a particular thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness to achieve a mentally-clear and emotionally calm and stable state. People are using mediation techniques from a long time. It helps us to connect with each other. By meditating we focus on our thoughts and belief. During the process we are in a zone where we can talk with each other, it helps us to know about us. It creates self-awareness and we feel awakened. 

Many of us feel stressed in our busy lives where we have time for everything but ourselves. How often do you talk with yourself? How often do you take time to know yourself? The answer to these questions for many people is never because we are simply trapped in a world where we judge people based on their materials. We need to realize that materialistic life will never provide us with the satisfaction we seek. With Spirituality you can feel fulfilled. So, make some time to do nothing and connect with yourself.
