本研究旨在探討身心靈工作者所主觀經驗之幸福。近來身心靈相關服務作為現代社會大眾紓解心理壓力的途徑之一，相關從業者在提供服務時，本身的幸福經驗卻鮮少被討論。為探究對身心靈工作者主觀而言，幸福此一抽象概念的意涵，本文採用詮釋現象學分析(Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, IPA)作為研究取徑，透過半結構式訪談四位身心靈實務工作者，進一步了解其對幸福本質及獲取歷程的認知與詮釋。
　研究結果發現，受訪者所經驗的幸福具備四項主要內涵：一為內在與情緒的平靜和穩定；二為選擇的自由與自主權；三為物質生活的穩定；四則為來自工作中的成就感。另一方面，在幸福的歷程面向中，亦得出了四項共同主題：一為價值觀的轉譯、共享與擴及，二為與內在價值觀一致的行為實踐；三為工作中互助的歷程；四為認知轉化帶來的自我成長。整體而言，幸福對受訪者來說並非是靜止的狀態，而是一高度個體化，不斷整合及調整的動態生命歷程。
　本研究結果亦指出，身心靈工作者的幸福感多傾向於真善式(eudaimonic)幸福觀，即亞里斯多德所述重視德性實踐的自我實現取向，並受到靈性價值觀影響。由此可見心理層面的認知與自我實現，對身心靈工作者的幸福而言具有關鍵意義。

　This study explores how mind-body-spirit practitioners experience their well-being. While such services have become increasingly common as a means of psychological relief in modern society, little attention has been paid to the well-being of the practitioners themselves. Adopting Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study conducted semi-structured interviews with four full-time practitioners to understand how they perceive the essence of well-being and how they come to experience it.
　The findings reveal that participants’ well-being encompasses inner peace and emotional stability, freedom and autonomy, material stability, and a sense of accomplishment derived from the ongoing process of their professional work. In terms of how well-being is formed, participants described four main themes: translating and sharing personal values; engaging in behaviors aligned with inner beliefs; mutual support within their work interactions; and self-growth through cognitive transformation. Well-being is thus experienced not as a fixed state, but as a dynamic, individualized, and continuously evolving life process.
　The results suggest that participants’ understanding of well-being aligns with a eudaimonic perspective, which emphasizes self-realization and the enactment of virtue as described by Aristotle, and is deeply influenced by spiritual values. Psychological insight, meaning-making, and inner integration play key roles in how these practitioners construct and sustain their sense of happiness.
