The concern here is with the practical dimension of spirituality: spirituality as a universal property of religious consciousness that expresses itself in many ways, i.e., through prayer, liturgy, chanting and other forms of music, meditation, yoga, diet, ascetical discipline, self-control, contemplation, art, and service, all of which engage one's inner being, how one is, and indeed, what one is because of the exercise of this how.
Spirituality, in its most basic sense, originates from an inner movement of the heart, with the assistance of the mind and affecting the total consciousness of the individual.
