| - | "'''Spiritual but not religious'''" ('''SBNR''') is a popular phrase and initialism used to self-identify a [[life stance]] of [[spirituality]] that takes issue with [[organized religion]] as the sole or most valuable means of furthering spiritual growth. Spirituality places an emphasis upon the well-being of the "mind-body-spirit", so "holistic" activities such as [[tai chi]], [[reiki]], and [[yoga]] are common within the SBNR movement. | ||
