What Is Spiritual Health

Define Spiritual Health

➤ By Liz Oakes

What is spiritual health and what is the link between your health and your spirituality? Do you personally feel that your spirituality has any bearing on your health?

Can using crystals help you to have improved spiritual health? The first thing is to define spiritual health. 

The words 'spiritual' and 'health' to many people are two separate issues.

Many people do not understand that the two issues of spirituality and good health are inextricably linked.

Many people who work with crystals do so because there is something that attracts them to their use. 

When I say work with it may simply mean they like how they feel when they have crystals nearby, unaware that it is aiding spiritual growth.

When you define spiritual health you start to think about what makes you look at a person and feel that they have good spiritual health? This is of course based on each of your personal experiences in the past and how you live your own life.

Food For Thought: In a personal sense each of you have to work out what you feel is the answer to what is spiritual health.

Is it important to your health that you live your life in a way so that you feel comfortable with who you are in a spiritual sense? And what does that mean to you?

Meaning of Spirituality

It is important that the meaning of spirituality is defined at this point.

If you ask me, What is spirituality, I would tell you that my definition of spirituality is strongly linked to the belief that the soul, or higher self continues on after the physical death of the body.

So if you believe that you keep it in mind, and you begin to live your life in a new way.

Definition of Spiritual Health

If you live your life with integrity and in line with a spiritual belief system of some sort, you are able to live a happier life.

So the definition of spiritual health starts to become clearer.

Your state of mind is crucial and the link between spirituality and happiness, to a large degree comes back to the degree of comfort you feel with yourself and the way you live your life.

We all want to have more of the 'good' things in life and good health, happiness and feeling comfortable with who we are, is an important factor spiritually.

What is spiritual health on a day to day basis. What you define as a good thing spiritually may be different to me.

For some of you it may be spending time with loved ones, a walk on the beach or taking in beautiful scenery that takes your breath away, a vigorous game of sport playing in the park with the children on the weekend.

Or simply sharing a cup of tea or coffee or a drink with a friend and sharing your thoughts and feelings.

By both being a friend and having a friend you raise your vibration and these good vibrations create an improvement in your overall spirituality and health.

Achieving Spiritual Health

If you are wondering what is spiritual health, perhaps you might like to think about the factors in ensuring that you have excellent spiritual health.

Doctors all over the planet are working to improve the health of the population.

Most people are now aware that it has been proved that how a patient feels within themselves, is the deciding factor on whether they have good health or not.

As you work out how to be happy, one aid to this is doing daily meditation. As many more of you take up meditation, you will find an improvement in many areas of your health.

This is one of the best ways to relieve stress because quieting your mind in meditation, saying a prayer if it is your belief will help you to let go of the stress and tension within your life.

When you think about what is spiritual health you begin to wonder how would you go about achieving improved spiritual health.

Going into the silence and making contact with your higher self is very beneficial.

As you become comfortable with the process and you find your spirit guides you may develop new gifts and these too can help your life. 

Using crystals as part of the process can be a great advantage.

My passion is using crystals and a good part of the use of crystals is finding crystals that improve your life.

So how does this work and how will crystals help you in your life?

Which Crystals Or Stones to Use

Quartz crystals are powerful aids used for quartz crystal healing, as they are amplifiers of energy. Many varieties of quartz have specific energy that will improve your life.

Some examples are pink Rose Quartz Crystals and Strawberry Quartz that both hold the energy of love.

The beautiful Citrine Crystals, clear bright yellow stones that holds the energy of abundance and prosperity.

And the many beautiful purple crystals such as Purple Amethyst Crystals which make a connection to the Divine mind.

All crystals have natural crystal energy within them and this varies between crystals. Some crystals have higher vibrations than others and are the chakra stones for the higher chakras.

They are what many people classify as the more spiritual stones. Again this does come back to the definition of spiritual.

My Final Thoughts

The gifts that the high vibration stones will stimulate should more accurately be called psychic powers but there we see the blurring of the lines between spirituality and psychic gifts.

I use crystals in my daily life to raise the vibration of my home. They do this simply by their presence as they all have a natural vibration.

Colors are vibrations too and the beauty of the colors of the stones will create good vibrations and this in turn helps you to get on to the path to being happy as you fill yourself with good vibrations!

My thoughts on what is spiritual health would be that if you are comfortable with your spirituality you feel happier.

This emotional response to life creates a feeling of being more at ease with yourself.

If you are comfortable with yourself, it spreads out from you into the entire world. It is a strong vibration that has the potential to affect everyone for the better. And good spiritual health is the result.
