It explores the spiritual, social, ethical, and political dimensions of health and healing. This pioneering work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of social theory, sociology, politics, philosophy, and psychology.
Download or read book Rethinking Identities Across Boundaries written by Claudia Capancioni and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays aims to widen the current critique on borders by examining their entanglements with constructions of identity and disciplinary categories. In particular, it calls into question established models of gender, notions of narrative genres and typological genera of borders in today’s literary, artistic, philosophical, and socio-political discourse. The chapters interrogate boundaries and boundary-crossing not only in terms of geographical frontiers and the physical acts of trespassing, but also as discursive constructs that police crossing subjects as gendered subjects, on the one hand, and identify artistic genres and academic disciplines as fixed, sealed-in ways of understanding the world, on the other. Taking inspiration from the multiple meanings of the Italian word genere (which stands for “gender”, “genre”, and “typology”/“genus” simultaneously), the volume reflects on the gendered, narrative, and typological nature of borders and border imagery, and on the significance and potentialities of crossover phenomena taking place in borderlands, in the fields of arts, literature, anthropology, sociology and philosophy.
Download or read book In Amma s Healing Room written by Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[I]t is extremely salubrious to see the ways Islam works in the lives of ordinary people who are not politicized in their religious lives. . . . No other book on South Asia has material like this." —Ann Grodzins Gold In Amma's Healing Room is a compelling study of the life and thought of a female Muslim spiritual healer in Hyderabad, South India. Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger describes Amma's practice as a form of vernacular Islam arising in a particular locality, one in which the boundaries between Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity are fluid. In the "healing room," Amma meets a diverse clientele that includes men and women, Muslim, Hindu, and Christian, of varied social backgrounds, who bring a wide range of physical, social, and psychological afflictions. Flueckiger collaborated closely with Amma and relates to her at different moments as daughter, disciple, and researcher. The result is a work of insight and compassion that challenges widely held views of religion and gender in India and reveals the creativity of a tradition often portrayed by Muslims and non-Muslims alike as singular and monolithic.

Book excerpt: Renowned international healer and teacher Audrey Murr Copland provides you both the inspiration and practical means to begin a journey into healing - of yourself and potentially others. Challenging Boundaries: For the Love of Healing chronicles Audrey Murr Copland's personal and at times painful odyssey from a difficult upbringing as an Army child during and after World War II to becoming one of the most experienced and respected international healers and teachers in Britain. An honest and engaging memoir is combined with a detailed guide on how to become a healer. What is healing? Are people born healers or is healing something you can study? How do you know if you have what it takes? Can you learn to self-heal and heal others? Does healing really work and if so, how? Audrey Murr Copland shares the unique and enlightening journey that led to her discovering the answers to these questions through her gradual awakening and subsequent development as a healing channel and intuitive sensitive with exceptional abilities to heal people and animals, and a gift for teaching. She also shares her extensive knowledge of the practice of healing, covering such topics as: spiritual development, the chakra system, the art of attunement, using meditation as a channel for healing, conducting a spiritual healing session, and much more! If you are interested in discovering your ability to heal, both yourself and others, Challenging Boundaries: For the Love of Healing offers the encouragement and information you need to begin your own healing journey to reveal your full potential, heal your life, and learn how to heal others. Challenging Boundaries: For the Love of Healing is about healing on all levels - emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual. It's about what is possible and why many of us find ourselves in a situation of needing to do this healing work. In the memoir section of Challenging Boundaries: For the Love of Healing Audrey Murr Copland shares with the reader the courage it took for her to be honest and frank about her 'wounds' and not sweep them under the carpet or be in denial. She does so in the hope that her personal story will illuminate how trauma and difficulties can pass through generations if we don't give attention to heal the wounds we have inherited. What she aims to share in the book is the possibility of consciously working to heal childhood and other wounds to result in greater personal happiness and also healthier relationships with others. From the time of her birth in the Royal Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow, London, through a challenging childhood, heartbreak, personal hardship, and disappointment Audrey Murr Copland's journey is one of self-discovery, of recognising and confronting childhood 'wounds', and of gradually gaining an understanding of the basic need for all healers to start the daunting and often painful steps to self-heal. It is a journey that leads her to the point where inexplicable psychic experiences and a series of 'coincidental' meetings result in her taking a job with a healing organisation which is to become the largest and most respected healing organisation in the world. It is a journey of service as a healer and educator which, for two decades, takes her around the world training healers and sharing her extensive knowledge and inherent wisdom. In the healing guide section of the book, Audrey Murr Copland explains what healing is, how it works, and the means by which you can learn to become a healer. It is a wonderful resource for everyone wishing to discover their own ability to heal themselves and others.
Download or read book Theosophy across Boundaries written by Hans Martin Krämer and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theosophy across Boundaries brings a global history approach to the study of esotericism, highlighting the important role of Theosophy in the general histories of religion, science, philosophy, art, and politics. The first half of the book consists of seven perspectives on the activities of the Theosophical Society in very different regional contexts, ranging from India, Vietnam, China, and Japan to Victorian Britain and Israel, shedding new light on the entanglement of "Western" and "Oriental" ideas around 1900. The second half explores specific cultural influences that Theosophy exerted in the spheres of literature, art, and politics, using case studies from Sri Lanka, Burma, India, Japan, Ireland, Germany, and Russia. The examples clearly show that Theosophy was part of a truly global movement, thus providing an outstanding example of the complex entanglements of the global religious history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
