Taha wairua refers to the spiritual dimension of a person in the context of Māori culture. It emphasizes the importance of spirituality in overall well-being, connecting individuals to their ancestors, the land, and the universe. This aspect of self is often seen as essential for achieving balance and harmony in life. In Māori beliefs, taha wairua is intertwined with other dimensions of well-being, such as taha tinana (physical), taha hinengaro (mental), and taha whānau (family). Together, these dimensions create a holistic view of health, where spiritual health is vital for personal and communal resilience.
