What does 'Wairua' refer to in Maori philosophy?

Cultural practices
Physical well-being
Emotional health
Spirituality

The correct answer is: Spirituality

'Wairua' in Maori philosophy specifically refers to spirituality. It encompasses the concept of the spirit or soul and reflects a deep connection to one’s inner self and the world around them. In Maori culture, spirituality is an integral part of life and influences various aspects, including relationships, traditions, and the understanding of one’s purpose in existence. This term highlights the importance of spiritual health as a vital component of overall well-being. The Maori worldview sees the interplay between spiritual health and other dimensions of life such as physical, emotional, and cultural well-being. However, while the other choices touch on essential aspects of holistic health, they do not encapsulate the specific focus of 'Wairua,' which is distinctively centered on the spiritual element.
