- W2461093761 abstract "Today the public health professionals are in the midst of the epidemic of non‑communicable diseases, which are known to have their risk factors in the way how people live their lives. The major risk factors of lifestyle diseases identified are diet, physical inactivity and use of tobacco, alcohol and stress, among others. A session of the United Nations (UN) Assembly, held recently, also focused on dealing with non‑communicable diseases by combating ‘the globalisation of unhealthy lifestyles’. [1] In fact, the behavioural aspects of an individual considerably influence one’s diet, interest in sedentary or active life and addictions to tobacco, alcohol and other substances. At the same time, an individual’s behaviour is influenced by the society’s value system and attitudes to which people subscribe to as acceptable. Spiritual principles of the world have always emphasized on certain cognitive and behavioural set for the individuals in pursuit of health and fulfilment in life. Bringing changes in the cognitive, affective and behavioural domain is a long and a persistent process. Each individual responds to such change based on commitment and perception of the need for such change. Lately, much thought and attention has been given in the academic and intellectual circles about the role of spirituality and health in the community. Formidable pressure is being felt to redefine the meaning and interventions in existing health systems in this regard. Health today cannot be conceived as balanced without including the dimension of spirituality in it. The spirituality and spiritual practices have been shown to have a positive impact on many of these lifestyle diseases. Until now, the scientific community of the world has successfully established the positive role of spiritual practices and spirituality concerning the treatment of cancer, hypertension, depression and smoking. The relation between body, mind and social dimension is no longer a debatable issue. There is a need, therefore, to summon wisdom, to use the restructured cognitive‑behavioural manifesto in health and disease before long. Certainly, a call has come to sweat our brows and marshal our strength to go beyond the existing health triangle of physical, mental and social dimensions in dealing with the health of communities. There is an impending necessity to reframe the statement in the direction of exploring the fourth dimension of health – the Spiritual Well Being of individuals. In a study [2] on spiritual health – ‘defining and measuring the 4 th dimension of health’, spiritual health has been defined as a state of being where an individual is able to deal with day‑to‑day life issues in a manner that leads to the realization of one’s full potential, meaning and purpose of life and fulfilment from within. Such a state of being is attainable through self‑evolution, self‑actualisation and transcendence. Existing literature reveals that spirituality broadly focuses on being deeply involved in day‑to‑day activities of the world, at the same time being detached, where there is a continuous effort for developing universality of love, compassion and equanimity to replace anger, jealousy, ego and hatred, resulting in utilization of one’s abilities to the fullest and even transcending beyond that. It unfolds the process of ‘Becoming’ to ‘Being’ and extending ‘Beyond’ to attain fullest positive health." @default.
