“Spirituality is not only frequently linked with religion, but is also viewed as somewhat distinct. For many, spirituality relates more to individual conceptions and less to institutionally stipulated understandings. There is an important relationship between religion and spirituality, and it is difficult to define either religion or spirituality without some reference to the other. Interestingly, their word origins are markedly different. “Spirituality” is derived from Middle English and the Latin word spiritus, which means “breath,” suggesting it represents an essential component of life. The word religion is generally thought to derive from Latin influences from words meaning “to bind.”
