There, for everybody to admire, be moved, or question, was a sampling of the many meanings of spirituality. Here was the grief of the cross, the awe of the angels, the making of the community, the mystery of the beyond, the devotional and the iconoclastic, the beauty and the ugly, and so much more.  \nAnd that begs the question: If spirituality is all of that, what is it really?  \nAs the title of the exhibit suggests, spirituality might have to do with, or might be activated by, longing and grief, lack and pain. Or maybe spirituality is what happens when we feel big emotions, like falling in love, giving birth, experiencing music, nature. Maybe spirituality is what happens in the secret of our heart, the silent prayer, the candle we light, the meditation.  \n1. DEFINITION(S)  \nIn fact, according to many researchers,“there is no single, widely agreed-upon definition of spirituality. Surveys ofthe definition of the term, as used in scholarly research, show a broad range of definitions with limited overlap”(McCarroll, O’Connor, and Meakes 2005, 44) .  \nIn a famous study from 1997 called Religion and Spirituality: Unfuzzying the Fuzzy (Zinnbauer et al. 1997 , p. 550), the authors cite an array of definitions like “a human response to God’s gracious call to a relationship with himself,” “a subjective experience of the sacred,”or “the vast realm of human potential dealing with ultimate purposes, with higher entities.” Ina recent interview, Michael Pollan (nd) defined spirituality through his psychedelic experimentations as “having a profound connection with something larger than you…it’s a kind of love.” Others define spirituality from a faith perspective, for some it has to do with the beyond; yet others emphasize the emotional and private aspects, and many connect spirituality with a sense of personal development.  \nThe most recent academic definition given by the French sociologist Lionel Obadia states:“(Spirituality is) an ethereal and fluid space of resources of meaning and actions for humans, likely to nourish their aspirations, sacred or not, on earth and beyond, which unfold below or beyond established religious traditions”(Obadia 2023) . This definition aims at rendering the many aspects of spirituality, its multidimensionality and fluidity, its relationship to the self and to the whole, to the human and to the divine. It also places spirituality in relationship to‘religious tradition’ as ‘below or beyond’ but not mingled together. This reflects the biggest evolution of the concept of spirituality since its origin.  \n2. ORIGIN OF THE TERM  \nFor many scholars, the use of the term ‘spirituality’ originates in the Latin translation of the Christian bible and other early Latin Christian texts. The Latin word ‘spiritualitas’(spirituality) is derived from the noun ‘spiritus’, meaning breath. It was used to translate Hebrew ‘רוח ’ (ruach-wind) and the Greek ‘πνεύμα’(pneuma – wind) . Boas Huss writes that  \n“in the Old Testament, the term ‘רוח ’ (wind) denotes a divine element (Genesis 1:2) and the human life principle, received from (and returned to) God (12:7) . The word ‘πνεύμα’ has a similar semantic field. Therefore, it is frequently juxtaposed to ‘σαρξ’ (flesh), as in ‘the spirit (πνεύμα) is willing, but the flesh (σαρξ) is weak’”(Matthew 26:41)(Huss 2014, p. 48) . This distinction between ‘breath’ and ‘flesh’ is manifest in the separation between ‘spiritual’ and‘physical/material.’  \nToday, most people woul","cbCaiopYVxTPhANY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiopYVxTPhANY","pdf",190887,"English","# What is Spirituality?\n## Definition(s)\n## Origin of the Term","[{\"question\":\"Why is there no single widely agreed definition of spirituality?\",\"answer\":\"Research cited in the text notes that surveys show a broad range of definitions with limited overlap in scholarly usage.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text describe the origin of the term “spirituality”?\",\"answer\":\"It traces the term to Latin translations of Christian texts, linking spiritualitas to spiritus meaning “breath,” and to related Hebrew and Greek terms.\"},{\"question\":\"How is spirituality understood today in relation to religion?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that many people do not link spirituality to religion and highlights concepts like SBNR and broader secularization, which shifted spirituality toward distinct meanings.\"}]","Spirituality - A Dive into a Multidimensional Concept as Related to Coaching | PDF",25]
