You have a clear sense of purpose. You can appreciate others' perspectives, even if they might be very different from your own; you don't judge others. You think positively, even in the face of a challenge. Fear doesn't hold you back.

This part of your well-being may not be at the forefront of your mind when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, but it’s an essential component of the Canyon Ranch® integrative approach to wellness (which also includes your physical, mental and emotional health). “It’s a holistic model of health. We feel that all of its parts need to be looked at and that they’re all equally important and connected to one another,” explains Stephanie Ludwig, PhD., M. DIV, MA, spiritual wellness provider at Canyon Ranch Tucson. “Taking care of your physical health is connected with your spiritual health, just as taking care of your spiritual health has a positive effect on the health of your body.” Spirituality isn’t something you can precisely measure, like cholesterol or blood pressure, of course. But you can gauge how spiritually healthy you are, and taking the time to do so can help put a spotlight on new ways to nurture yourself. Ludwig suggests these as good indicators:

And ultimately, how can I remember to connect with this? When we focus on greater connection it starts to act as a compass, helping us to maintain inner and outer balance in our lives.” For many, that means confronting fear and learning to build trust and faith instead, as well as living more in the present moment and not dwelling on the past or worrying so much about the future. Simply put, being spiritually healthy means you’re better able to let go, Ludwig stresses. “It sounds a little bit morbid, but when you think about your death or you come close to facing your death—the ultimate letting go—it helps you to actually embrace your life because it reminds you how precious every moment truly is.”

Spiritual health means both knowing what we need and remembering that optimally we need a balance of both connection with others and time in solitude. “Spiritual community is important, but I think people go through phases in their lives where sometimes it’s just about going within and contacting what they need without the help of others,” says Ludwig. “But I think, in general, community is stronger than willpower. When we surround ourselves with people who are also interested in spirituality or have common values, it really deepens our spirituality a lot.” So what’s the pay-off when you cultivate your spiritual health? “Many things work better in our lives,” says Ludwig. “For instance, our relationships run more smoothly; we have more of a sense of peace and contentment. We may be more connected with intuition or a sense of being guided.” Many people that Ludwig and her team work with struggle in particular with making decisions. “It helps us when we’re spiritually connected to navigate through our life in a more clear way,” she says; physical health often improves, too. Being spiritually healthy is really more of an experience than something you can easily talk about, she believes, adding that, “As Joseph Campbell said, ‘I don’t think people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.’”
