Finding Balance: Spirituality's Role in Mental Health

I've never felt any pressure to define my sense of spirituality, and actually it's much more of an instinctive thing than a thinking thing.
Ever wondered how spirituality can influence your mental health? In this thought-provoking episode of the Oxfordshire Recovery College Podcast, hosts Tanvia and Peter dive into the complex relationship between spirituality and mental well-being. This episode is a treasure trove of personal stories from guests who discuss how their spiritual beliefs—both religious and non-religious—have shaped their mental health journeys.
One guest shares a unique perspective on spirituality as an instinctive feeling rather than a defined practice, offering a refreshing take on how we can all find our own paths to inner peace. The conversation also explores practical techniques like grounding and distancing that help manage anxiety, showing how spirituality can offer tangible benefits in daily life. With a focus on individual practices and beliefs, this episode emphasizes that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to spirituality and mental health.
As one guest wisely notes, 'We look at everybody being a teacher to us so that we may learn'. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that might just inspire you to explore your own spiritual journey.
