Spirituality is a Pillar of Wellness

When it comes to wellness, spirituality can be defined as finding connection with the transcendent. In other words, something that is greater than you-something outside of yourself.

Spirituality is not just a coping tool, it is a worldview that sustains us through difficulty.

• It helps you to find perspective when you are going through hardships.
• Connection with the transcendent gives you an appreciation and gratitude for life.
• Gives you a realistic view of your strengths and weaknesses.
• Imparts purpose and meaning.
• Brings sense of safety and security.
• Provides opportunities to relate to others in faith community.

Applying Religious and Faith Principles to Facilitate Growth and Healing

• More than just a verse and a prayer; it develops a worldview of God’s ability to help you.
• Showing compassion as God is compassionate.
• Not to solve every problem but to help you find the way back to your faith.
• We are messengers of God’s love and grace revealed in Scripture.

An Example (clickable) of How Pastoral & Christian Counseling Can Help Treat Mental Health Issues Like Anxiety:

Consider the birds of the air… your heavenly Father feeds them…and the flowers of the field..will He not clothe you.. therefore do not be anxious.

Matthew 6:26-31

We can use counseling skills and techniques and apply them from a Biblical and Christian point of view for your healing and growth.
