MISSION Spirituality Studies welcomes original contributions from various academic fields reflecting the phenomenon of spirituality in its multiple forms as well as cultural and religious contexts. At the same time, the journal provides a forum for sharing personal spiritual experience of spiritual practitioners of various backgrounds elaborated in a form of a scholarly article, essay or poetry. By combining both academic and experiential aspects of spirituality the Spirituality Studies aims at providing an original and exceptional multi-disciplinary and multidimensional platform for constructive dialogue between a variety of viewpoints, approaches, and methodologies in the study of spirituality. Spirituality Studies covers a wide range of theoretical and practical (living spirituality) issues relating to spirituality, including an encounter among various spiritual traditions on personal, interpersonal and social level. Particular emphasis is put on the processes of spiritual or personal transformation as given in various forms of mysticism (Christian, Muslim, etc.) and traditions of yoga across the global cultural and religious spectrum (e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, new religious movements, etc.). The third area of the journal is devoted to didactics of somato-psycho-spiritual practices such as hathayoga. By publishing teaching and methodical materials that reflect practical experience of educators at the grassroots level, Spirituality Studies facilitates education related to spirituality and fosters the awareness of the importance of spirituality for personal, interpersonal as well as social well-being. The journal is published by The Society for Spirituality Studies in cooperation with theDialogue Interreligieux Monastique/Monastic Interreligious Dialogue (DIMMID) and European Union of Yoga twice a year (May 1, November 1) in English for an international readership. It is housed on the spirituality-studies.org website. 136 About Spirituality Studies
