Each and every one of us is spiritual in our own ways. To be spiritual to me, means to be in touch with your own self or conscious. Your spirit is this persona you give off to other people. Some may have negative spirits (people who are close minded or think pessimistically) and some may have positive spirits (people who are open minded and think optimistically). Click
here to find out your spiritual type. I personally, have a positive spirit because having a positive spirit helped me better my day to day life. Ever since my mother was my age, 18, she has always been learning about spirituality by reading books on God, books on how to remain in the moment, books by Leo Buscaglia, and many more. She is 56 and has been teaching me what she learned ever since I was a junior in high school. That is mainly why I am so interested in spirituality, through the influence of my mother. It gets really interesting to me, how much power we have over our brains and how much we don't. A lot of us think that there is a limit to what we can do with our minds, but that is false. By practicing spiritual techniques such as meditation or prayer, going to church, or even finding joy in everything you do everyday, you will enrich your lifestyle and live healthier mentally and physically. I want to learn more about the "4th dimension" and existentialism.

I really like your research project. I agree with you in the fact that we do not know how much power our mind have. I personally think it is a subject that is very interesting because I have seen how people change because they have become very spiritual like when people start believing in god. I have done mind awareness sessions which we get in touch with our spirit, mind and getting in touch with our bodies it was something that help me relax and not be stress. I questions that I have is if your going to touch on the different type of spirituality like you mention in your paragraph.
