Inner and outer congruence: An academic’s quest to find spiritual wellness and health

Pages 120-129 | Published online: 21 Oct 2018
 

ABSTRACT

This article explores the role a meditative practice might play in enhancing the spiritual wellness and health of staff within higher education contexts. Drawing on her own reflective writings about her meditation practice, as well literature from spirituality in higher education, meditation, and adult learning, the author considers how one works toward leading a life of congruence; a life where meaning and purpose are tightly interwoven with intellect and action, and where compassion and care are infused with insight and knowledge.
