Does any one believe that spirituality is a mind, body and soul experience? Or just the soul?
I believe spirituality comes from the Holy Ghost. I beleive that being a believer you are one with God/Jesus/Holy Ghost. I believe it resides in your heart.

Osho Quote On Happiness & Simply Being Yourself
Commentaries on the Masters of Meditation
The following inspiring quote is from the great Mystic Master Osho (Rajneesh).
"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars… and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are."
FUNDAMENTALLY JUST HAPPY! Remember this statement. It is the reward of a meditative life. It is important here to differentiate between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure being something derived through some cause, and by happiness here meaning a state of joy without any cause. This joyfulness naturally emerges. It starts to flow from deep within and in it you simply rejoice and celebrate life.
This happiness comes when you simply reside as yourself. The trees are not only not trying to become prime ministers, they are also not trying to become the stars and the stars are not trying to become flowers. They are all residing as themselves. Thus, there is freedom from comparison and freedom from chasing "the other". There is no sense of feeling "less" or something lacking, which is brought about through the insanity of measuring against some fictitious ideal, or another. This means that you don’t have to try to become something other than who you are. In Zen speak - the frog becomes the frog.
If fundamental happiness was not enough, one more most beautiful thing starts to happen when you reside as yourself and joy starts to spontaneously flow… it gives birth to the miracle of Love.

Spirituality is Your soul but remeber the body houses the soul and the mind keeps the body in check so Each part must be worked and considered part
I believe and have always taught that spirituality is all of YOU, mind, body, and soul. Everything that exists comes together in balance....in order to be a spiritual person, your mind has to think it, your body has to feel it, and your soul must experience it. As Dazon said, sometimes there is a tug-of-war, but in the end a truly spirtual person will manage to fanagle whatever mess they've gotten into into a learning experience and a chance to grow:)

:-) Good question. I think it all blends together. I think we have "tug o wars" with our wills and won'ts....have's and have nots........etc.
Some think the mind is really in the heart. That is an interesting thought & a topic for future discussion if others want to examine it.
