spiritual freedom

Spiritual freedom is liberation from inner constraints—fear, attachment, compulsion, or limiting beliefs—that restrict one's sense of peace or authentic self-expression.

The term appears across religious and secular contexts: a Buddhist might seek freedom from desire, a Christian from sin, a secular person from anxiety or self-judgment.

After years of therapy, she finally felt a sense of spiritual freedom.

The phrase suggests an internal state rather than external circumstances—one can experience spiritual freedom even under physical confinement.
