How Spirituality and Mental Health Are Connected ?



Even though it seems that spirituality and mental health do not have anything in common, there is a thin line that binds the two together. Spirituality affects mental health in a positive way and creates an environment conducive for personal well being.

In the modern age, spirituality is being referred to one of the forgotten dimensions of personal well being and mental health care. It is most often described as a mental platform, where one can meet their true self. It is considered a sacred realm of human and self experience.

Mental health is a state of well being in which an individual is able to realize their abilities and lead a fruitful life. When mental health of an individual is affected, it can lead to instability.

Lack of mental well being and health can disturb the harmonious balance in one's life and give rise to anti-social behaviors as well as psychological disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Spirituality, on the other hand, is a way of helping one to find their meaning and purpose in life. Spirituality helps people:

  • create a sense of purpose in life
  • create a sense of connection with the inner self, other people, god, and nature
  • continue their quest for attaining wholeness
  • search for harmony in life and hope
  • create a strong sense of belief in higher being

Mental Health

Both spirituality and mental health have been the center of many debates. For ages, benefits of spirituality on physical health and well being have been documented, but little is known as to how it affects mental health. There are several ways by which spirituality aids in the well being of a person on a purely mental or psychological plane. People suffering from various mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, benefit from spirituality in many ways. Some of the benefits are given below:

  • Spirituality helps increase self worth and instill self confidence and self-esteem
  • It helps boost self-control
  • It aids in faster recovery from stress and other symptoms of mental ill health
  • It helps improve personal and professional relationships. It also helps improve an individual’s relationship with self.
  • It provides peace of mind by renewing hope.

These practices help define the subtle connection existing between spirituality and mental health.

What clients say

I went to Massimo for a healing session in which I experienced calmness and opening of my heart.
All the sadness I had as a child and images from my childhood went by and were gone. An hour treatment went by like ten minutes. In other times I experienced very deep meditations, quietness, yet very alert and awake. Thanks Massimo for helping me get in touch with the healing force within me.

Dear Massimo, thanks so much for your healing sessions. So many things changed and improved since the beginning of your treatments. You are very gifted and all you are doing arises from the depth of your heart and the depth of the knowledge you channel. I highly recommend you as a healer.

Good luck: with this single word I can express what I feel to have met Massimo.
I have been knowing him for 10 years and working with him I have done a path to awareness.
He is a good teacher, sincere, honest, which guides you to the truth and peace that our heart desires and can achieve.

For me, healing means integrity and the consistency of living my daily life, relationships and job in the way of my true "I".
Massimo has the rare ability to lead people, and therefore me, to
transform obstacles that stand between you and what you want to realize in available energy. He does so with great respect, patience and lack of judgment.
Massimo, thanks for all that I get from you.

When Massimo gave me healing sessions online, I experienced him as a sensitive and dedicated man who has the gift to sense into deeper layers of the soul and affect them in a gentle and non intruding way. His careful way of approaching the pain in my eyes and the feedback he gave me from his sensitive perceptions helped me to gain trust and confidence in my healing process.
