If we look at the literal meaning of the word ‘wellness,’ that means ‘in the state of being in good health’, and when it comes to good health, people think only of physical fitness, being free from ailments and injuries. 

Spiritual wellness denotes a broader sense of health. It talks about more comprehensive and deeper meanings. It is never visible, but it impacts the whole well-being – physical and mental.

People must take enough care of spiritual wellness as they rush to the hospital after physical issues to find a remedy for their suffering and get cured. Still, they remain negligent at having inner disturbances. They never attempt to fix them.

Param Dwij says that spiritual wellness is something imperceptible we carry within in the form of principles, philosophy, beliefs, values, and set morals that make one more of a human of thoughts and leads them on the path of their life purpose. It builds them into the being they are. It is like a compass for ship captains, a map for travellers. It works as an inner calling. One must focus on this area that can improve their overall wellness. It bestows one with several benefits which result in their work. 

Param Dwij explains this is a state of being where people find themselves a part of an enormous energy and feel a sense of belonging to something greater than their material entity, such as nature, some higher energy working beyond this cosmos, or a divine and mystic force. This leads the human to explore his or her inner ‘self’ – a self which is dormant within this body, which is invisible but exists in the form of our own set values, beliefs, and purpose in life, and finding a way and connotation to sustain this life on the planet. Spiritual wellness can contribute to a sense of inner peace, precision, and purpose and help people navigate through and overcomes grim moments of life.

In order to develop spiritual consciousness and harness it, Param Dwij recommends people follow certain activities such as practising meditation, doing prayer as the routine of the day, reading spiritual and philosophical literature, imbibing a practice of feeling gratitude towards ‘Daata’ and His creation, who helps you to make your world beautiful, volunteering your times for ‘Daata’s’ creation, involving in creative works, spending times in the lap of nature, and with loved ones.    

This is a matter of careful study that spiritual well-being is a purely individual experience. So, it is not like medical science. What method may work for one person may not work for another person. It may require some experiments to find what works best in life. One who wishes for spiritual wellness should respect and honour others’ beliefs, rituals and practices, even if he/she does not accept theirs and stay different from his/her. 

Benefits: 

1. One of the most significant benefits of spiritual wellness is that it can give individuals a sense of meaning and purpose in life, instilling joy and sanguine characteristics. Such people surpass their experiences beyond the material realm and possess a feeling of belonging to something beyond this material realm, the body they are. It allows them to see things clearly and move toward Absolute Truth. Such people stay focused and can easily deal with life’s challenges. It provides them with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.  
2. One with spiritual wellness develops a sense of empathy and compassion in self, which influences the people in their surroundings. It makes relationships fulfilling and satisfying. 
3. When people feel spiritually awakened, they can efficiently tackle life’s difficulties and find meaning and purpose in this birth – an ideal state in Dwij’s life. This can help individuals be flexible, bounce back from obstructions more efficiently, and maintain an optimistic viewpoint. It develops a greater sense of flexibility and resilience in people and helps them to encounter life’s challenges.

Like physical and mental health, spiritual wellness is a significant aspect of inner well-being that influences and encompasses overall health and makes life smooth. It can provide people with a greater sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in their lives. It can also help them manage stress, anxiety and life’s hardship more effectively, develop greater empathy and compassion for ‘Daata’s’ larger creations, and create greater resilience. One who explores and nurtures a sense of connection beyond their material entity cultivates a profound sense of inner peace, purpose, and satisfaction in their life.
