This theoretical-bibliographic study aims to reflect on the concept of natural spirituality and its possible contribution to health, especially in the pandemic context of COVID 19. The theoretical contribution used focuses on the Viennese neuropsychiatrist Viktor Frankl, in addition to other authors , such as Tillich, Zubiri, Kovacs and Dittrich. The results show that within a multidimensional concept of health, the spiritual dimension exerts great importance and contributions to thinking about the physical, emotional and social well-being of human beings. In addition to the fact that natural spirituality is related to a complex vision of the human being, in its dimension of spiritual depth that is the center of the structuring and organization of the dynamics of its way of being in the world and that points to a phenomenon intrinsic to its existence – spirituality as the conduct of the will to search for meaning in life and which implies letting the human be born in the human being – the humanescer.
