Duhovnost i fizičko vežbanje - preventiva za epi(pan)demiju COVID-19

Abstract

It is an undeniable truth that in one period of today's people's lives, the COVID19 epi(pan)demic was weaved. It is a period marked by suffering, pain and illness, as well as a significant disharmony of spirit, soul and body, which consequently influenced the fear of bared life and survival. The age of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the objective presence of a virus that has taken many lives, warns us that the world is facing infodemia, manipulative media propaganda, polarized profession, loss of basic human rights and other global plans diametrically opposed to the spiritual approach and whose primary goal is to spread fear among people. Such a situation has created a ground for positive and/or negative thinking of people regarding epi(pan)demics. The scientific approach to the concept of spirituality, although it has its roots in philosophy and psychology, is present in religion, and today we can say in quantum medicine, bioethics and other sciences. However, no matter how different the paths of spirituality may be, they have in common finding the hidden laws of nature and selflessly using their discoveries to improve the lives of others. The complexity and diversity of the concept of spirituality leads to the choice of the spiritual path and the development of each person individually. In an effort to better understand his inner life, an individual must go through a processes of introspection and self-knowledge in order to reach the virtues that enable him to have a wiser relationship with himself, the environment, the world. The aim of this paper is to consider some situations that may represent the foundation of a new (beneficial) path to human salvation, possible life in new circumstances. The complexity of the topic raises the question - how to achieve active work with results that will be beneficial for people in the new conditions of the pandemic? The results of the research indicate that the syncretism of spirituality and physical exercise creates conditions for meaningful reasoning, reflection, cognition and awareness of the understanding that this is a very important path to healing.
