Introduction to Spirituality

Spiritualism is a philosophy that believes in the existence of the soul and the spiritual world, and recognizes their significant role in human life. While expressed differently across various cultures and religions, spiritualism fundamentally emerged to give meaning and understanding to the world that humans inhabit.

At the core of spiritualism is the belief in the existence of a reality beyond the material world. This reality is thought to exist within the human mind or heart, as well as in a higher dimension, universal consciousness, or God.

Spiritualists attempt to develop themselves by connecting with the spiritual world through techniques such as meditation, prayer, and yoga. They also acknowledge that nature and the universe are one, and that by being aware of this unity, humans can exhibit positive behaviors that will affect themselves and their environment.

While spiritualism may be a religion or a way of life for some, it may be just a search for meaning for others. Since it is an area that can take on different meanings and practices according to each person's personal beliefs and experiences, there are no dogmas or rules regarding spiritualism.
