it can be understood as the search for the sacred, a process through which people seek to discover, hold on to, and, when necessary, transform whatever they hold sacred in their hearts (Hill & Pargamen, 2003).
It generally refers to meaning and purpose in one's life, a search for wholeness, and a relationship with a transcendent being (Hage, Hopson, Siegel, Payton & DeFanti, 2006)
Spirituality is connected with religion but they are different
