Bodŷ Breathy Mind^ and Spirit: The Pursuit of Inner Health
نویسنده
چکیده
Illness and suffering inevitably bring one face to face with the ultimate questions of life. Thus it is no surprise that spirituality is currently the subject of intense study in medicine and allied disciplines. But these studies are floundering for want of a defmition of spirituality, for one cannot research what one cannot clearly defme. With very few exceptions Western investigators have yet to realize that the perennial wisdom already has a practical science of spirituality, which is known as Yoga. Here I will explore a very pragmatic definition of spirituality— furnished by the late Swami Rama—that can be applied to health and healing as an organizing context or map for the territory.
