Spirituality• Religion and medicine both have healing
practices• Less so as Western biomedicine evolved• Seems to be changing though– 90% US med schools include content of
spirituality and health– 99% of physicians surveyed (1998) listed prayer
or meditation as enhancing medical treatment– 4 out of 5 Americans (2005) believe spirituality
promotes health

Spirituality• Religiously active people tend to live
longer• Frequent attendance at religious services
is associated with better health– Correlation doesn’t equal causation– Possible third variables-gender, pre-exisiting
health, lifestyle– But the correlation still holds when you
control for these factors, and in large-scale longitudinal studies

Spirituality• What accounts for correction
between spirituality and healthy? Likely…– Lifestyle– Social support– Positive emotions

Spirituality• Lifestyle– Compare with general population,
religiously active tend to• Eat healthier• Be more physically active• Smoke and drink less• Engage in less risky sexual behavior
– But only account for about 25% of health differences

Spirituality• Social Support– Compare with general population,
religiously active tend to• Have more social social support of all three
types• Plus invisible support (perception that
people are there for me)

Spirituality• Positive emotions– Compare with general population,
religiously active tend to• Be more optimistic, hopeful, accepting• See meaning in life• All relates back to positive coping with stress
• Compare this to the “Sisters” of mindfulness

When Spirituality Doesn’t Help
• View stressors as punishment from God
• Prayer alone, not associated with religious involvement

Homework (bring in for T Quiz)• Go to a park, grassy area, your favorite tree, some spot in
nature. Take a journal or a notebook.• Take a selfie at the location.• Turn off your phone.• For 10 minutes, sit (alone, no music, no phone) and listen to
the sounds, look at the surroundings, touch the grass around you, smell the smells. Let your mind wander, but keep coming back to your surroundings.
• For 10 minutes (in the same setting) write about your experience. What did you hear, see, smell? How did it make you feel? Where did your mind wander? Write for a solid 10 minutes.
• Stretch and enjoy the rest of the day!• On Tuesday, bring in your writing and your selfie for you quiz.
