spiritual health
Sacred personal wholeness
Spiritual health refers to a sense of meaning, purpose, and connection to something larger than oneself—whether a religious tradition, nature, community, or personal values.
Unlike physical or mental health, spiritual health concerns inner peace, ethical grounding, and feeling aligned with one's deepest beliefs: Meditation improved her spiritual health.
The concept appears in holistic wellness frameworks that treat humans as more than bodies and minds.
