<em>Spirituality Experience</em></h1>
<p>A recent study indicates that clinicians should make spirituality, in serious illness and health, a vital part of a patient-centered, value-sensitive care plan, which I support.</p>
<p>I have first-hand experience with the power of spirituality and how important it was in aiding my healing when I was so sick that I didn&#8217;t think I would survive my illnesses.</p>
<p>Spirituality will assist the treatment of people with chronic conditions holistically, and a medical care team would do well considering a multi-dimensional approach.</p>
<h2>What Is Spirituality?</h2>
<p>Spirituality is individual, diverse, and unique to you; any definition of this complex domain will not likely satisfy all of us.</p>
<p>I see spirituality as we all have this inner energy; character; spirit as we seek meaning, connection, and life-enhancing purpose that unfolds continually over our life span.</p>
<p>Spirituality is expressed in our attitude, thoughts, feelings, and actions, responding to life&#8217;s situations.</p>
<p>For some, they are profound beliefs and transcendent forces that relate to your religion and are expressed through prayer, practice, and community.</p>
<p>Spirituality is how we seek balance, meaning, connection, value, and purpose; this energy runs through us all.</p>
<p>When we are challenged with fearful times, connecting to the inner depths of our spirit and connecting with love, hope, optimism, faith, trust, meaning, and purpose is so powerful in a positive way.</p>
<h2>How Can Spirituality Improve Health?</h2>
<p>I am a massive advocate for holistic treatment and promoting a 360-degree anti-inflammatory lifestyle for prevention, treatment, and recovery from chronic diseases, as you know, which includes focusing on what you can control to reduce what you can&#8217;t control.</p>
<p>What we eat, how we move, and what we think are powerful tools in healing from chronic inflammation and chronic diseases and recovery from serious illnesses.</p>
<p>When we are challenged physically and mentally, when we have times of crisis and panic, and if we have an insufficient understanding of the power of spirituality and prayer, we can strengthen the stress in our bodies and move away from healing.</p>
<p>Spirituality becomes even more important when we feel out of control physically, with sickness and disease, and experience instability and fear. Spiritual coping strategies are necessary to assist with healing.</p>
<p>Many spiritual coping techniques can reduce the emotional and physical reactivity to stress in the body and mind, affecting inflammation reduction and immune system activation.</p>
<h2>How To Improve Your Recovery</h2>
<p>I know I had never loved as much when I was in the hospital and close to death.</p>
<p>Growing up without religion meant it wasn&#8217;t necessarily an automatic process for me to pray.</p>
<p>I found that I started to think about everything and everyone around me.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t be with my boys, and I wanted to be (more than anything in the world) well and healthy to be with them and for them as they grew up. Because I could not be with them, I became overwhelmed with gratitude for the ladies who were looking after them and doing my job. I trusted them. I believed in them, and I was so grateful for them.</p>
<p>I reached out to resources and the depths of my spirit and prayed with gratitude for the strength to get through this, survive, be well, and not die.</p>
<p>In those moments of physical and mental challenges and going forward, spiritual coping strategies aided me in healing.</p>
<p>Spirituality, meditation, positive thinking, seeing myself well, and believing that I would be okay were powerful.</p>
<p>Spirituality is powerful and is part of our being.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t just biological when our bodies are physically challenged, and we have a disease or chronic inflammation running through our bodies. The mind and body are connected. What we think has a powerful effect on our health &#8211; both mentally and physically.</p>
<p>Many religions believe that health and illness become part of the continuum of being and that prayer is the salvation in health and sickness.</p>
<p>You may also be interested in learning that what you eat in the hospital assists with recovery. Unfortunately, nutritious gut-healthy foods are generally not on the hospital menu sheets!</p>
<h2>Meditation Improves Gut Health</h2>
<p>Meditation can improve gut health. Spirituality, meditation, praying, having faith, thinking positively, keeping calm, resting, and sleeping motivate people and accelerate illness recovery.</p>
<p>Doing such calming rituals improves gut health.</p>
<p>Improving gut health strengthens our immunity, lowers inflammation, and heals our bodies (alongside a holistic anti-inflammatory lifestyle).</p>

<h2>Holistic Care and Healing</h2>
<p>Holistic care considers a patient&#8217;s biological, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. All aspects of a person are considered.</p>
<p>Nursing care has progressed toward this comprehensive care model over the last few decades, but unfortunately, the spiritual side has received less attention.</p>
<p>Spiritual healing and prayer are the most widely used spiritual sources by patients.</p>
<p>Many people who are not particularly religious reach out for prayers and interventions at times of desperation and illness. Often, this happens when medical treatment is not proving to be beneficial, and there&#8217;s uncertainty surrounding the next step of treatment while diseases are progressing.</p>
<h2>What Is The Study on Health and Spirituality?</h2>
<p>So, I am pleased that spirituality is being recognized as a coherent dimension in the well-being and health of patients.</p>
<p>The study by <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35819420/">Balboni et al.</a>, Harvard University identified and analyzed the highest quality evidence on spirituality on health and severe illnesses between January 2000 and April 2022.</p>
<p>They collated almost six hundred articles out of thousands that fitted with their strict inclusion criteria that supported strong evidence of the positive effects of spirituality and recovery.</p>
<p>An expert panel with varied spiritual views (including atheists) concluded that people who attended religious services had greater longevity, healthier lifestyles, less depression and anxiety, and less substance abuse.</p>
<p>Considering a person as a whole and asking about a person&#8217;s spirituality would guide further decision-making regarding the patient&#8217;s health care.</p>
<p>For many, their spirituality guides them and influences the quality of life and critical outcomes of illness.</p>
<p>Considering someone&#8217;s spirituality and incorporating spiritual perspectives in treatment can be the key to helping them reach the highest standard of health.</p>
<h2>Helping Your Body Heal Faster</h2>
<p>Medical expertise, an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, and spirituality/belief/faith are powerful for healing and recovery.</p>
<p>If you have a condition and are feeling anxious, afraid, and frustrated, I urge you to reach out and pray and have a belief that you will get better.</p>
<p>Having hope and positive thinking by your side will induce calmness in your mind, body, and gut, and the healing will be more impactful. I hope a positive outcome comes from this study, which I fully support.</p>
<p>Spirituality is most definitely linked with better health outcomes.</p>
<p>It is free, powerful, and accessible for all of us.</p>
