Spiritual development and spiritual well-being are related but different concepts. Spiritual development refers to the process of growth and maturity in one's spiritual beliefs, values, and practices. It involves expanding one's knowledge, personal experience, and awareness of the spiritual realm.
On the other hand, spiritual well-being is a state of being in which an individual feels a sense of connection to their inner self, to others, and to a higher power or purpose. It involves feeling a sense of peace, purpose, and meaning in life, and having a positive outlook on the world.
While spiritual development can contribute to spiritual well-being, they are not interchangeable. One can be highly spiritually developed but not experience spiritual well-being if they are disconnected from their inner self or is experiencing spiritual distress. Similarly, one can experience spiritual well-being without actively engaging in spiritual development.
When way of spiritual development starts with the progressive life for our well being & welfare for social surrounding it is quite common that the spiritual well being follows automatically the line process for our welfare of life .
Some years back I have expressed my views in this respect which I submit herewith for your kind perusal
''Spirituality to me is not a subject of measurement as it is an identification of the individual development which can not be measured but which can be experience. For the development of spirituality every human beings can certainly go thru the process of spirituality but is a fact whether one likes or otherwise , individual behavior ,their working style ,their norms of truth ,religion ,honesty & sincerity are not the same .
Ken Wilber and others distinguish between stages and states of consciousness. We could think of spiritual development and spiritual well being in this context, as process and product. Colleen Delaney has developed an excellent spirituality scale.
I haven't measured them, although I've helped over 500 people in 4 years as spiritual coach. According to my experience, there's no spiritual development, since we have the inner technology necessary for our awakening. Instead, we have certain levels of spiritual awakening, which is related with our state of peace, our personal power, our loving power and our intuition (which can be transformed into telepathy for advanced stages).
According to my intuition, spiritual well being would be associated with our state of peace, which could be measured through the HRV (heart rate variability) at our resonance frequency.
Let me know if it makes sense, and if you want to have a short call to feel a wonderful state of peace, let me know.
