| Zusammenfassung: | Affiliation in Australia's institutional religions has declined but there is much interest in Self-Spirituality which is characterised by being person-centred, holistic, eclectic, informal and de-institutional. Practitioners seek transformation through various kinds of embodied spirituality (e.g. yoga, mindfulness meditation, Neo-Pagan). The body may be a starting point for self-care or the body is integral to experiencing transformed emotional and spiritual states. Australian local churches may rediscover a Christian heritage of embodied spirituality, and develop missional responses to Self-Spirituality. An embodied spirituality may be developed from resurrection theology which emphasises the whole person. The essay briefly describes some contours of Self-Spirituality with illustrations of embodied spiritual practice from yoga and Neo-Pagan rituals. There is a disconnect in Self-Spirituality between present embodied experiences that emphasise holistic spiritual states and eschatological destinies which de-emphasise the body or an enduring personal consciousness. A holistic understanding of resurrection is discussed as a basis for Christian reflections about embodied spirituality and witness to practitioners of alternative spirituality. |
