Some people go on runs to cope with stress. Some tackle home projects. And others pray or meditate.<\/p>\n
That got us thinking. What does spirituality mean to people right now? Some research suggests that religion and spirituality have positive effects on mental health and sense of well-being.<\/p>\n
But we wanted to hear from real people. In this episode, we talk to guests in three different spiritual practices: Orthodox Christianity, Astrology and Islam.<\/p>\n
They discuss the role of religion in social justice, the power of positive thinking and how learning a new language can forge a deeper connection with faith.<\/p>\n
We have three guests in this episode. Joshua Loller is a lecturer in the religious studies department at the University of Kansas, as well as a priest of an Orthodox Christian church in Lawrence, Kansas. Cindy McKean is an astrologist and tarot card reader. And Mahnaz Shabbir is an entrepreneur and practicing Muslim.<\/p>\n
