Topic: Acceptance ~ Please bring Your definition!!

definition of Spirituality

3. “individual search for meaning” Bown and Williams 1993).
4. “the search for meaning in life events and a yearning for connectedness to the universe” (Coles 1990).
5. “a person’s experience of, or a belief in, a power apart from his or her own existence” (Mohr 2006).
6. “a quality that goes beyond religious affiliation, that strives for inspiration, reverence, awe, meaning and purpose, even in those who do not believe in God. The spiritual dimension tries to be in harmony with the universe, strives for answers about the infinite, and comes essentially into focus in times of emotional stress, physical (and mental) illness, loss, bereavement and death” (Murray and Zentner 1989:259).
for the complete list...some Great points!
