Which phrase describes spirituality?

1. The belief in something that cannot be directly observed
2. An organized belief system that requires religious worship of a Supreme Being
3. The core of a person’s being, involving one’s relationship with God or a higher power
4. A belief system unique to a specific religion

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 3

Mauk and Schmidt (2004) define spirituality as “the core of a person’s being, involving one’s relationship with God or a higher power.” Spirituality may or may not involve a belief in a Supreme Being. Depending on the individual beliefs, spirituality may involve seen and unseen forces. For example, the use of religious articles defines spirituality for some individuals and these items can be seen and held. Spirituality encompasses many religions with varied belief systems.
