Research Study: Spiritual Health
What does spiritual health look like? Feel like? What does it mean to be spiritually well in a Western society that does not prioritize this type of health?
Tending to your spiritual health has become a radical act. It is a lifelong way of being that chooses to dance with the invisible when it is so often ignored. It is us realizing that some of our biggest 'wins' in life are not tangible––they are of the spirit. They are in our state of being, in HOW we move through the world––in our spiritual health. In this ongoing, self-led research study, I explore 'spiritual health' and all its tangential areas and share my findings here.
Cherishing the abstract and invisible nature of emotional growth. Tangible indicators of growth (e.g. new job, met your partner, moved into a new apartment) are not better than the abstract ones. They are just different. Life feels the richest when they both dance together, side by side.

The frustration of knowing your potential but feeling far from it. How you paradoxically have to be your potential before it connects to you in 3D reality. How sometimes you have to marinate in that new state of being for a while. What’s the rush? Whose rush is that? Is it yours? Or society’s? Or your mom’s? Or your ego’s? Or all of the above?
Energy moves faster than physical form. That’s just their inherent natures.

Life force as the battery of our spiritual health.
“Creativity is a question.”
– Maggie Rogers
Spiritual health is the health of spirit. How do we convene with spirit? What is the language of spirit?
I love that I keep answering my initial question with more questions. (The goal is never an answer.)
Stay tuned! More coming soon.
