Spirituality is important from the point of a balance in one’s life. It cannot be the overarching goal of anyone, unless that person wants to lead a spiritual life and become a spiritual speaker.
Spirituality encompasses religion and embraces in its fold mantra chanting, prayers and meditation. Mantra chanting is important from a therapeutic point of view. If you chant the mantras aloud, then it reverberates to your heart and gives you peace of mind and reduces the stress in your life.
Prayers also do the same but one need not read the prayers aloud. You can read it quietly also and it delivers the same effect. Prayers has a very calming influence on the mind and the same thing you get when you visit the temples near your office. The pealing of the temple bells has a very pleasing quality to it.
Meditation enables one to calm the agitated soul. Its also very therapeutic in the sense that when you meditate focusing on your breathing or listening to sounds it has a very calming effect on the mind. You are able to concentrate better when you meditate.
