Spiritual experiences are moments when individuals feel a deep connection to something greater than themselves, often described as a sense of peace, unity, or transcendence. These experiences can occur during meditation, prayer, or while in nature, and may lead to feelings of joy, love, or insight. People often report a heightened awareness of their surroundings and a sense of purpose during these moments. Such experiences can vary widely among individuals and cultures, influenced by personal beliefs and practices. They may involve encounters with the divine, a sense of oneness with the universe, or profound realizations about life. Common contexts for spiritual experiences include religious rituals, yoga, and mindfulness practices.
