This is the only part of our self that is able and can
experience how to argue and discriminate, have moral
sensibility and conscience, and the unconquerable will.
The spiritual aspect of the self is the inner essence, the part
of the self that connects the person to the sacred, the
supernatural, and the universe. The nurturing of the
spiritual self also gives a deeper purpose or meaning of
one’s life.
People develop spirituality through interaction,

observation, and imitation. Thus, making the family,
school, and church play a very important role in the
spiritual development.
Spiritual self is the most intimate, inner subjective

part of self.
Spirituality can be understood as
a search for the sacred, a process
through which people seek to
discover, hold on to, and when
necessary, transform whatever
they hold sacred in their lives. It
refers to finding meaning and
purpose in one’s life, a search for
wholeness, and a relationship
with a transcendent being
(higher being).

REligiosity VS spirituality
• There are distinctions between religiosity and spirituality: If religiosity

is communal, then spirituality is individual.
• In religiosity, beliefs and practices are within religious groups, and
religious commitment, conservatism, and skepticism are manifested.
Spiritual attributes include the need for spiritual quest, ecumenical
worldviews, compassion, service, and inner peace.
• A person can possess spirituality even his/she does not subscribe to any
religion. Spiritual models are present everywhere. They function for
respondents as exemplars or spiritual qualities, such as compassion, self-
control, or faith. Thus, a person can be spiritual without being
religious.
Religiosity is defined as the adherence to a
belief system and practices associated with a
tradition in which there is agreement about
what is believed and practiced. It is a formal
attachment to the set of beliefs, values, and
practices of a particular religious sect. It
includes specific practices, proscriptions (what
should not be done and avoided), and
participation in a specific community that
shares the same beliefs and practices.
religion Religion is an organized system of ideas about the spiritual

sphere or supernatural, and to know God is its central function.
One of the practices in Spirituality is
worship. Worship is regarded as an
essential act to realize the ultimate
meaning of transcendence and human
life.
Acts of worship may include prayer,
reading the scripture (e.g. the Bible or
the Quran), attending sacraments (e.g.
mass), and doing sacrifices (e.g.
fasting).

practices of religious activities such as prayers, people may find comfort,
security, and stability in times of sufferings, loss, insecurities and
uncertainties. Spirituality and Religion may also be a source of love, hope
and affection.
