Modern socio-economic, scientific, technical and cultural society development has set the task to highschool to form not only a genuine professional, who has deep professional skills, but who is at the same time a highly spiritual personality. The problem of self-realization is the subject of interdisciplinary research and it is considered by specialists from different fields like philosophy, sociology, psychology and pedagogy. Self-realization is considered along with the concepts of "self-organization", "self-affirmation", "self-regulation" and "self-improvement" (A. Derkach, V. Zazykin, I. Kornilova, N. Kuzmin, V Markin, L. Rybalko, E. Saiko, I. Semenov, etc.). Scientists believe that it is important for a person, not only the processes of self-realization, but also their direction.
In the classical pedagogy the problem of self-actualization was considered by A. Disterweg, I. Pestalozzi, M. Pirogov, V. Sukhomlinsky, K. Ushinsky, etc. It should be noted that in self-knowledge, self-affirmation and creative activity of human it is manifested not only the desire for self-realization, but also the spiritual essence at the same time [1; 2]. I. Bech notes that self-realization as a personal entity is the central characteristic of a person, it is the level of his or her development, where his or her "I" practically improves itself. Based on the teachings of A. Maslow, A. Torshevskaya argues that one of the most important aspects of self-actualization and self-actualization of personality is the problem of spirituality [3].
The purpose of this work was to study the spiritual self-realization of future specialists. Tests was carried out among
ods: "The level of spiritual self-realization of human" by M. Udovenko and "Self-discovery" by S. Dzhurard.
The results showed that the subjective assessment of the spiritual self-realization level of the valeology students' personality from the first to the fifth courses is growing. If the first year students show the results when 8% of them have quite a low self-realization level and 92% have an average self-realization level, then the second year students do not show low level results, 80% of them have an average level of self-realization and 20% have a high level of self-realization. The third year student show that their the level of self-actualization is increasing, because the average level have 71% of the students and the high level have 29% of the students, among the fourth year student the average level have 75% of the students and 35% have the high level. For students of the fifth year the high level of self-realization is 42% [5].
A more detailed study of the test results showed that in the investigated life spheres students have different subjective assessments of the self-realization process. Self-knowledge, self-realization, awareness of their feelings, self-correlation with the requirements of society, profession, faith, family, self-affirmation and self-expression are important for the individual's spiritual world formation.
Thus, relying on theoretical philosophical, axiological, psychological and pedagogical scientific approaches and practical researches, self-realization of future specialists can be defined as a process of harmonious development of personality

with the acquisition of professional-practical and spiritual experience, as well as the disclosure and realization of the constantly evolving potential, what promotes the implementation of individuality through the future professionals' efforts.
Spirituality - Health - Society. In accordance with the modern outlook, the holistic approach extends to understanding not only the interactions between "Human-Environment",
but also relationships "Human-the Universe", "Human-State", "Human-Society", etc.
Harmonious interaction with humanity, i.e. with society, and with nature, provides the optimal level of physiological systems functioning and body health, respectively (Table 1). Table 1 shows the relationship between the energy center (endocrine gland) of a person at the different Living organization levels.

Understanding of spiritual life is in the realization of "I" in the system "Human - the Universe". For this purpose, a person must do a great deal of internal work: to make a choice between spiritual perfection; clear all the bodies; to develop consciousness, which is a place of the spirit action; to show consistency, loyalty and stability on the road (some call this way "rule of the three "c"- constancy, consistency, continuity); to cover the main aspects of spiritual development: faith, knowledge, creativity and the way [4].
Spiritual health is realized by: achieving a certain level of the worldview formation; the formation of a semantic sphere - the goal of life; formation of vital principles and uni-

As previously indicated, in the State Education Standard of Ukraine, these issues are intended to cover such courses as "Health Fundamentals", "Physical Culture and
Physical Rehabilitation", "Reproductive Health", "Valeolo-gy" and others that are in general branches of valeology. The result of valeological education and training should be the formation of knowledge about the theoretical and practical issues of health, awareness and spirituality of the individual life program, which is expressed in: ability to determine the place of health and spiritual values in the life values system; the ability to bear responsibility for health; the ability to realize oneself with a person that is adequate to his biological gender, age, and individual characteristics; ability to choose; formation of skills of adequate self-examination and self-control; ability to plan and forecast; the ability to correctly set the goal and highlight the "steps" of personal growth; the ability to highlight the main thing, quickly make adequate decisions that will have an impact on the effectiveness of human life; forming a sense of personal significance in the family, at work, among friends; ability to have positive thinking technologies; the ability to master the emotion culture technologies.
All this is the spiritual self-realization of future specialist. Thus, self-realization of future specialists can be defined as a process of harmonious development of personality in with the acquisition of professional-practical and spiritual experience.
