Spirituality and Health is a bi-monthly magazine that reports on the ideas, the people, and the practices of the current spiritual renaissance.

Featuring reviews of books, DVD's, and music, as well as lively columns and interviews, Spiritual and Health Magazine explores the mind/body connection, healing, spiritual practice, science, psychology, and more.

Here is a sample of some of the articles featured in this magazine:

*Socrates' Seven Spiritual Principles
*The Healing Power of Doing Good: The New Science of Volunteering
*The Standford Forgivness Project
*Qi Vs. Cancer
*Lessons From Mindful Corporations.
*Recovering From Infidelity
*Classic Hymns Cut Through Dementia
*Spiritual Literacy in Wartime
*How Plants May Explain the Intelligence of Ants

Magazine departments include book and movie reviews, gorgeous art and photographic galleries, beliefs from all walks of life and faiths, commentary by Thomas Moore, and more. One of my favorite sections is What Goes On In There, Really? which examines different worship practices. They have profiled experiences like a Pentecostal Christian service, Dances of Universal Peace, Maundy Thursday in Baghdad, Friday Night Shabbat Service, Siddha Yoga Meditation Ashram, and Spotting Elves in Iceland.

I've been a subscriber for several years now, and once I sit down to begin reading Spiritual and Health Magazine, it's hard to get up! You never feel like you're preached at; rather, this magazine offers gentle observations on contemporary culture, ancient wisdom, science, healing, personal growth, new discoveries, and spirituality--with breathtaking color photographs placed throughout. This magazine is truly a visual feast, as well as food for the soul.

I picked up a copy of Spirituality & Health a couple of years ago at a bookstore and sent in the subscription card right away. This magazine is wonderful if you're looking for a magazine devoted to putting a spiritual perspective on life. This magazine covers everything; mind, body, and spirit, the total package. In the back there are also listings of upcoming events that the spiritually inclined may be interested in. I highly recommend this magazine, as I always catch myself saying to someone, "I just read this awesome article in Spirituality & Health..."

After been loaned this issue of June 2004, by a committed, really
genuine Episcopalian, I was greatly impressed! These creative, unique articles captured my Imagination: "What is Power?" by Sam Keen; "Taking the First Step" by Anna Lappe`; "Accessing Sacred Energy," by Judith Orloff, MD; "The Making of a Chaplain" By Karen O'Brien (So like the pages of my earlier Verbatim in CPE).

"The Best Spiritual Books" are reviews of 50 out of 300 books by Fred and Mary Ann Brussat! We surely agreed on the first few named: "The Heart of Christianity" Marcus Borg; "Beyond Belief" Elaine Pagels; "The Wisdom Way of Knowing" Cynthia Bourgeault; ++
"The Lord is My Shepherd" Rabbi Kushner+ "The Power of Patience" by M J Ryan!

I am still in the whirlwind of those emotionally stimulating, artistically written articles on varied yet potent topics of food for Thought and Reflection. Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood

This magazine is, in my opinion, well thought out. The articles are interesting, relevant and well-written. Good photography. Quality paper. I enjoy reading it and look forward to reading it. Of all the magazines in our waiting room, more patients have had positive remarks on this magazine than any other. I just re-subscribed for my second year and quite pleased. Highly recommend.

I have been reading this magazine for 3 years now and find it continually creative and insightful. The articles cover a broad range of physical and spiritual topics with clear subject matter. I highly recommend this for any age group. There is nothing offensive or patronizing. I was hooked after one month.

Today I received the first issue - April 2006 issue. I found
it AMAZING and INFORMATIVE resource for body, mind and
soul practices toward healthier life..

The most thing I liked about this magazine is that it respects
religions. It provides accurate information from various religions
to help people of other believes improve their lives.
(Relying to what I read until now in this issue)

I found this magazine to be an odd mixture of science and spirituality, and almost all disappointingly shallow. I tried to cancel my subscription, but was unsuccessful as their customer service (contacted through the S&H website) was completely unresponsive.

This magazine is full of good information! It is uplifting and it only makes you want to be a good person, which we all know that the world can never get enough of. I highly recommend this mag to anyone looking for calming times with a magazine!

I ordered the e-publication of this magazine as I feel guilty receiving paper ones due to the environmental impact they have. I have to say, I LOVE this magazine! It offers so many thought-provoking articles that encourage kindness, openness, tolerance, body, mind & spiritual health. I feel inspired & educated every time I read it!

The articles in this magazine are pretty good although not all of them are. Also this magazine would benefit by having different types of columns and sections instead of long article after long article
