Spiritual awareness is high in the mornings and also when people listen to music, read or exercise but it is low while people do work-related activities or play video games.
Washington: According to a recent study, people who are inclined towards the almighty have variation in their spiritual awareness throughout the day.
Researchers from the University of Connecticut found that people had the highest levels of spiritual awareness in the morning and while engaged in activities such as praying, worship and meditation.
Spiritual awareness also was high when people listened to music, read or exercised but it was low while people were doing work-related activities or playing video games.
Additionally, the study found that the kind of people who watched the news had higher overall spiritual awareness than those who did not.
Researcher Bradley R.E. Wright said that what surprised them is how much people vary in awareness of God across the day and across activities.
He added that there is a complex interplay between spiritual awareness and the situation as sometimes the situation a person is in affects his spiritual awareness.
The study is presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
