The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to spirituality:
Spirituality may refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality, an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of their own being, or the "deepest values and meanings by which people live."
Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; spiritual experience includes that of connectedness with a larger reality, yielding a more comprehensive self; with other individuals or the human community; with nature or the cosmos; or with the divine realm.
