Meaning-Making
What is Meaning-Making?
The capacity to find significance and coherence in your experiences — including the difficult ones. People who make meaning from suffering do not minimise pain; they transform it.
When you might feel meaning-making
Meaning-Making is a specific form of spirituality, which itself is a type of transcendence. You might experience this feeling in situations where transcendence is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define meaning-making.
