Scientists have discovered that those who practice a religious faith report less depression and more positive emotion.  Whether your personal spiritual practice is connected with a religion or is a more private, personal path, an experience with some relationship with a Divine or Higher Power can add to the experience of happiness, personal growth and flourishing.  You are encouraged to add your own personal spiritual practices to the practices suggested here.
