Spiritual health means having Sound Heart, which is the result of true worship – submission to God – disregard of self-interest, trusting in God, delegating affairs to God and enduring hardships - paying attention to God's laws and prohibitions, avoiding selfishness and reforming lifestyle. It also affects health by: creating a social support network, managing stress and giving meaning to life in the psychological dimension, and creating health behaviors in the physical dimension. True worship creates: asceticism, contentment (social health) - Liberation from anxiety and depression (mental health), - Love and devotion to God (spiritual health). Mental relaxation improves physical health.
