Spirituality encompasses all aspects of being human. It may or may not include traditional religious beliefs and practices, and it is a unifying force within an individual, integrating and transcending all other dimensions of the individual.

From the holistic, integrative perspective of health care, the mind, body, and spirit compose the whole person and are so interconnected and intertwined that it’s impractical to try to separate the three dimensions and requires care to attend to every aspect of an individual – mind, body & spirit.
