    Spiritual experience has diverse meanings within different cultures and spiritual traditions. Spirituality can be conceptualized in as many diverse forms as there are people.

In other words, what was often considered spiritual were the elements both internal and external to us that gave meaning and vitality to life's events (Maugans, 1996).
