00:00:00.091 --> 00:00:03.181
Again I think that
the combination of mindfulness

2
00:00:03.206 --> 00:00:07.726
and spirituality and the benefits
that might occur

3
00:00:07.784 --> 00:00:12.359
in part derive from
how we define spirituality

4
00:00:12.496 --> 00:00:14.985
as well as how we define
mindfulness of course.

5
00:00:15.010 --> 00:00:17.656
But spirituality is
the more complicated one.

6
00:00:17.688 --> 00:00:22.797
So certainly if one means
by spirituality

7
00:00:22.830 --> 00:00:25.498
a connection to something greater,

8
00:00:25.523 --> 00:00:32.638
appreciation for something for
a larger meaning and purpose,

9
00:00:32.663 --> 00:00:35.630
I think it could be
certainly beneficial.

10
00:00:35.655 --> 00:00:39.404
Absolutely, I think that
sometimes mindfulness is taught

11
00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:44.211
in a very mechanical way in the West
almost like a tension training

12
00:00:44.236 --> 00:00:46.403
and it's more than that.

13
00:00:46.793 --> 00:00:53.505
It really does connect to these
larger ideas of basic goodness

14
00:00:53.530 --> 00:00:57.624
and greater meaning and purpose.

15
00:00:57.649 --> 00:01:01.187
So in that sense I think
the two go hand in hand.
