    Chaplain's Corner: Spiritual Disciplines

    One of the means by which we develop the soul is through spiritual disciplines. What are spiritual disciplines? Think of them as weightlifting for your soul.

    Chaplain's Corner ~ Awe of the moment

    Research shows that when humans experience awe, we become less focused on ourselves and our problems and more in tune to those around us.

    Chaplain's Corner ~ Defining the soul

    When considering a person’s overall well-being, the Air Forces’ whole airman concept is a well-rounded approach to living a healthy and resilient life. The reason behind this is that it considers all aspects of the person. There is a focus on the body, mind, spirit and social aspects of who we are. Attention to all four of these areas is essential to living a balanced life. This is because in essence all these areas work together. For example, if you suffer an injury, you experience physical pain in your body, which affects your thoughts (mind), your desires/beliefs (spirit) and those around you (social).
