Discussion
“Very good observation, Ms. Cruz” Alright. Before we
could formally start our discussion, let us first have our
quote-of-the-day that also has a relevance on our topic
for today. Would someone read the quotation for the
class?”
(Students will volunteer to read the quotation:
“When you examine the lives of the most
influential people who have ever walked among
us, you discover one thread that winds through
them all. They have been aligned first with their
spiritual nature and only then with their physical
selves."

“Thank you Mr. Antonio. So, that quotation came from (Student provides her answer)
the well-known mathematician and scientist Albert
Einstein. Could someone give us a short trivia about
Albert Einstein? Yes, Ms. Sanchez?

“Well said Ms. Sanchez. So in summary, Albert Einstein (Student will volunteer to provide his/ her own
was justly famous for devising his theory of relativity, observation)
which revolutionized our understanding of space, time,
gravity, and the universe. Now back on our discussion,
could someone explain to the class what Einsteins'
quotation means? Yes, Ms. Aquino?”

‘An excellent answer Ms. Aquino! Einstein’s (Students will volunteer to read the three

then with their physical selves." is what we should
always reflect for us to have a deeper understanding of
our own spiritual self.” Thank you Ms. Aquino. Okay.
Let's get our discussion starting! Now, the body is
believed to be made up with three components. And
what are those three components? Could someone read
it for the class?”

“Thanks. Now let’s take a deeper understanding of these (Student answers:”Sir, because of the three
three components of the body. First off, the body was the components of our body namely as the body, the
physical being that responds to stimuli and soul and the spirit, we are able to have a clearer

comprises the emotions and thoughts of a person. While
the spirit is the intangible aspect that communicates with
deities in the spiritual realm. Can you tell me as to what
reason these three components were composed?”

“Very good. Well said, Ms. Ramos. So specifically, (Student provides his answer: *mentions
human beings are incomplete without the spirit. Since different religions.)
obviously, if one does not have a spirit, that person is
dead. Right? On the other hand, with the usage of the
Religion, religion teaches us the value of a higher being
who develops us in our morality and conscience. It is
vital that we explore how to nourish the spiritual self
through our religious beliefs and practices. Now what are
those different religions that we had? Yes, Mr. Pascual.”

“Alright, thank you Mr. Pascual. Now with those religions
that Mr. Pascual had mentioned, they do have different
religious beliefs and practices that is why, it’s our own
responsibility for us to consider it as vital and essential
as we should learn how to nourish the spiritual aspect of
our lives. Not just on our biological, social, psychological
aspect but most of all on our spiritual aspect also. We
have to pay serious attention when it comes to the
spiritual aspect of our lives. Now would someone read
this paragraph for me?”
(Student reads the paragraph: The spiritual self is
considered as the higher self, the inner self, and a
person's true being that is greatly influenced by a
spiritual deity. Spiritual deities whom people
believed vary from one religious group to another.
From history, people's lives have been shaped by
their religious traditions and practices. Meditation
practices increase positive emotions, which may
yield positive consequences for life satisfaction.
Research has also shown that when facing trials,
greater religiosity predicts greater subjective well-
being mediated by greater social support and
meaning in life.)

V2 “Alright, thank you. (Reads the first sentence
of the paragraph) Now, when we are talking about the
spiritual self, we could say that a person was being
inspired by a spiritual deity. We may not touch or see the
spirit for us to consider as it was connected to us, but by
the grace of that being, we are always connected with
them. Now for the next paragraph? Yes, Mr. Loreno.”
“Thanks Mr. Loreno. (Reads the first sentence of the
paragraph) Little we didn’t know that some of us are
lacking confidence emotionally and spiritually. Most
especially on some trying times that our faith was being
shaken and we started to lose hope from something that
we thought we cannot gain or get through. That some
may already use suicide as a last-call solution for them
to end their problem and their lives as the same time.
That is why as we are still at a very young age, we must
already be able to train our spiritual aspect as to how we
have to equip ourselves with all the prior spiritual
knowledge so that we may be able to overcome
whatever problems we may be facing in our lives. Now
next on the Spiritual Self and Coping with Stress, who
can read the given paragraph?”
“Thanks. (Reads the whole paragraph) So with this
research, we are really certain of how being a person
that was spiritually active may become very positive
when it comes on coping-up with their problems most
especially on their emotional problems that they may
also did some meditation and similar practices rather
than doing some unhealthy lifestyles just for them to
ease with their problem. And with that scenario, we must
also be able to learn how we should give attention to our
spiritual self. Since they are spiritually continuous we are
in a different realm whereas we are being urged to think
and to decide on how we might react to our surroundings
in a more positive and an ordered way of reacting. As for
the following paragraph, who can read it?”
“Okay thank you. Now on this paragraph it’s really quite
obvious that all of us must have to learn how to pray.
How we pray every morning for the another chance that
God has given us to live. Praying right before we could
eat our meals up to the chance that we are given to us to
sleep at night. Since with praying you simply don’t only
acknowledge God from all of the goodness He has given
us all throughout the day. But most of all you are proving
your faith in Him. You are, no we are, proving that we
only don’t believe but we also act on that belief. And as a
result we find comfort, we find peace as we glorify God
all throughout the chances that He has been giving us all
the time. Who can read the next paragraph?”
“Thank you. So in summary, considering the positive (Volunteered students

(Student reads the paragraph: Individuals with
faith in a higher being are able to face life
challenges with greater confidence and hope. The
impossible becomes possible and the difficult
becomes manageable, because of divine
intervention and guidance. Christians, for
example, gain a new sense of direction and
strength after devoting some time in prayer and
meditation of the Bible or the word of God. These
two may be heightened with their involvement in
small groups of fellow believers and engagement
in ministry or outreach activities. The faith in a
higher being gives them a sense of purpose one
that is greater than the physical self. This purpose
drives their other affairs, such as family and
career.
Student volunteers read the paragraph: According
to Dr. Seppala of Stanford University's Center for
Compassion and Altruism research, spiritual
people engage in practices that can help reduce
levels of stress (Miller, K. 2020). It has been
observed that spiritual people are more likely to
help the poor through donations or volunteer work.
They are also involved in community services.
Spiritually active people cope with stress through
meditation rather than overeating or engaging in
unhealthy coping behaviors.
(Student volunteers to read the paragraph:
Meditation provides benefits, such as focus to
decrease pain and depression together with
improved health and happiness. Religious people
choose to spend quality time with family, and they
feel a strong sense of belonging to a community of
like minded people. Lastly, spiritual people have a
very high regard to prayer. Prayer helps people
find comfort by assisting them in dealing with
difficult emotions, encouraging forgiveness, and
leading healthier relationships.
(Student volunteers read the paragraph:
Furthermore, positive emotions, increasing levels
of psychological resilience, and improved immune
response have all been associated with spirituality
(Miller, K. 2020). Spirituality is not a simple subject
for experiential study. It is actually a complex
system that requires serious and dedicated effort.
Nevertheless, considering the positive correlation
between spiritual, physical, and psychological
well-being, health experts and practitioners can
undeniably include spirituality in practice in order
to help patients recover from their illnesses and
have a happier and longer life.

enlightenment is driven by the innate need for
meaning. Joining a spiritual group helps people
find meaning in their lives. Through the spiritual
group, people find connections in troubling times.
The connection group helps ease their stress and
their depressive symptoms, and increase their
immune response. With these benefits, it is just
essential for us to start embarking on spiritual
transcendence.)

Thank you. So in order for us to start our spiritual (Student answers.)

journey, what we only need to do is to open our hearts to
God, we have to accept Jesus as our one and true
savior of our lives. But the question is, how are we going
to accept Jesus in our lives? It is through the Gospel
Formula. First, is to believe in the gospel written in 1
Corinthians 15:1-4 that Christ died for our sins according
to the scripture, Christ was buried, and Christ rose again
on the third day. But Believing is not enough. We must
also obey the Gospel by applying Acts 2:38 in our lives.
We must repent of our sins. Be baptized in Jesus’ Name.
And Receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. And walk in the
newness of life. Grow in faith and be blessed as we
begin our Christian journey! Now class, let’s remember
that the true advantage of being spiritually connected to
God was the privilege that God has been waiting to give
us if and only if we accept Him as our one and true
savior, was the eternal salvation that Jesus can only
provide us. As being spiritually continuous may also help
us to conquer any turbulences we may encounter in all
of our lives. And for us to be guided and what decisions
we must be able to do in our lives. Did you understand
today's topic? Any questions related to our topic,
