title: Spirituality through centering prayer in school nursing.
abstract: The experience of intuition in a school setting contributes to a positive outcome for a young girl who suffers a playground injury. Intuition and spirituality are linked. Through the development of one's spirituality, intuitive thoughts are experienced. Centering prayer is presented as a technique to develop an awareness of the spiritual dimension. Three variations of centering prayer are described to help individuals develop their spirituality. Developing an awareness of the spiritual dimension opens the way for intuitive thoughts to enhance clinical nursing competence and all other aspects of living.
