    spir·i·tu·al·i·ty (spĭr'ĭ-chōō-āl'ĭ-tē) :

    The state, quality, manner, or fact of being spiritual.

    spir·it·u·al[spir-i-choo-uhl] Show IPA

    –adjective

    1.of, pertaining to, or consisting of spirit; incorporeal.

    2.of or pertaining to the spirit or soul, as distinguished from the physical nature: a spiritual approach to life.

    3.closely akin in interests, attitude, outlook, etc.: the professor's spiritual heir in linguistics.

    4.of or pertaining to spirits or to spiritualists; supernatural or spiritualistic.

    5.characterized by or suggesting predominance of the spirit; ethereal or delicately refined: She is more of a spiritual type than her rowdy brother.

    7.of or pertaining to sacred things or matters; religious; devotional; sacred.

    8.of or belonging to the church; ecclesiastical: lords spiritual and temporal.

    9.of or relating to the mind or intellect.

    Now Basically to sum it all up my definition of Spirituality is something that you feel and have that's far beyond the physical{something you can see, feel, or touch}. If you choose to follow Christ you are making spiritual progress. If you feel in your heart that you are living his word and acting more like him and you actually feel a closeness and imtimacy to Him you are progressing spiritually. Anything that brings you closer to God is spiritual progress. It doesn't have to be somethings major
