25 Spiritual Health & Personality

Concept of meditation and spiritual practice

The first step to improving your spiritual health is to understand what the spiritual dimension of self entails. From there, it is important to understand how your personality, spiritual health, and mental health are related. This chapter will explore these topics in greater detail.


First, what is the spiritual dimension? The American River College (n.d.) defines it as, “exploring the key principles, beliefs and values that give meaning and purpose to your life. It’s about living in a way that is consistent with your “world view,” while also being tolerant of others who hold different beliefs and values”[1].
