What is Spiritual Crisis, Spiritual Emergency and Spiritual Emergence? A spiritual crisis can be described as a turbulent period of spiritual opening and transformation. Spiritual crisis is also referred to as spiritual emergency, where a process of spiritual emergence, or awakening, becomes unmanageable for the individual. A person may experience psychological or mental health difficulties. Hence the term psycho-spiritual crisis is also used sometimes. |
