Through the miracle of Real Audio, host Carolyn Alongi McDonough hosts a one-hour show covering holistic health issues, and featuring a wide assortment of guests in the wellness arena. As part of daily life, it seems out of place. Yet research shows that a sense of spirituality is a vital component to psychological health. And a sense of spiritual faith has proven to be the element that allows people to survive extreme physical and emotional hardships. It means taking time out from the constant rush of our lives to appreciate the wonders around us that we take for granted.
Spirituality means striving to feel connected to the rest of the world.
Our society has been fragmented into so many compartments, all seemingly functioning independently of each other. Practicing compassion and kindness to others is a simple way of being spiritual. Choosing to meditate, chant or pray are also important ways to build a fulfilling sense of spirit into our lives each day. Many find these activities yield surprising benefits to their health, stress levels and relationships. With all the fuss over fat these days, most of us are blissfully ignorant of the fact that we're making up for eating less fat by eating way more sugar.
