Spirituality, Contemplation, Prayer… What Do These Mean?
Module 5
What is spirituality?
• “the innate yearning, longing for harmony and wholeness” (Sugunasuri Suwanda) • “the strength to go on” (Statement of Eatwot, 1992) • “the experience of striving for self-transcendence, to be in a relationship with the other” (author unknown) • “the energy within each person that looks for meaning and purpose in life” (Hospice Association of Ontario)
“Spirituality” is a very loaded word. • For some it may involve a relationship to religion, theology, dogma, judgment, eastern thought… • It may be a threatening idea for some • It is often very personal, private, not talked about • It is sometimes associated with one’s home life more than work/social life
What Does it mean for you?
What Does it Mean to be Contemplative?
Cognitively , contemplation, refers to thinking profoundly about something, as in: “involving quiet and serious thought for a period of time” Spiritually , contemplation is a kind of inner vision or seeing, transcendent of the intellect, facilitated by means of practices such as prayer or meditation.
The word contemplation basically means “to think about an action before you perform it.”
In what ways in your life are you contemplative?
Consider each of these images:
• What is the role of spiritual care in each situation?
Ways individuals can find meaning
• Belonging to a caring community • Telling their stories • Healing old wounds • Experiencing moments of transcendence or peak experiences • Feeling valued by others • Developing one’s higher self or soul
Your Role… • Recognize a spiritual need • Provide spiritual support • Understand the person’s (and the family’s) spiritual beliefs • Ask for help when necessary
The Role of Prayer
• The big question: • What does prayer mean to you?
• Who does it? • When does it happen? • What is the purpose of prayer? • What does it change?
