Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of disparate individuals, two of whom are Palestinian adolescents who have lost their legs in Israeli bomb strikes, are preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. They have nothing--and everything--in common. Hailing from Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, and America, the characters test the limits of their physical and emotional strengths to prove to themselves that they can transcend their strife-ridden histories and accomplish the unexpected. Inspired by real-life events when Ibrahim Nasrallah succeeded in reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2014 with a group of volunteers and two Palestinian adolescents who had lost their legs, KILIMANJARO SPIRIT is a page-turning, nail-biting tale of adventure, as well as an ode to the resilience of the human spirit.
Download or read book Some Spirits Heal Others Only Dance written by Roy Willis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does 'the self' in 'myself' begin and end? And what do ideas of 'spirit' tell us about the nature of human selfhood? To investigate these poorly understood matters, veteran anthropologist, neo-shaman and paranormal healer Roy Willis spent five months in a remote part of northern Zambia exploring human consciousness in a fascinating and sometimes terrifying series of adventures. This absorbing book tells the story of Willis' and his three local colleagues' quest, as they participate in and film rituals of ecstatic union with nature spirits and talk in depth with experts in managing the awesome powers of a world beyond the ordinary. The narrative follows the research team's day-to-day involvement with rituals of spirit revelation, healing, and exorcism, their encounters with the evil powers of sorcery, and the sometimes troubled relations between team members. The African healers in this book emerge both as exceptional individuals and as pioneering explorers of consciousness. Their experience is surprisingly congruent with our present sense of multiple and shifting selfhoods in the age of global electronic communication.

Download or read book From Where Does the Bad Wind Blow written by Katerina Mildnerová and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2015 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study deals with the phenomenon of spiritual healing and witchcraft within the field of indigenous medicine and African Independent Churches in the contemporary urban setting of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Grounded in theoretical concepts of medical and symbolical anthropology, the book analyzes the syncretic character of medical culture and the so-called "therapy shopping" phenomenon. Special attention is paid to the local conceptualization of health, illness and body, cultural aetiology, the social and cultural representation of spirit possession and witchcraft, as well as a description of different types of healers along with their diagnostic and therapeutic praxis. A separate section is dedicated to the symbolical interpretation of witchcraft on the level of theory, system, and practice, based on different case studies.

I see things in a more mature way and I feel that I can and want to make differences. As a small citizen, I can make a difference with my little heart, sweat and care for others on this planet. If a human is a copy of God and if God is about love, I will deliver love to humans on the planet. The pain has been a motivation to write about my inner journey to find strength and way to lead myself to bigger me. I evolved during this journey. I want to give inspirations to those who are in chaos and confusion about their identities and their purposes in life. We all were born with some purposes and reasons. There is no waste to be made. With small means we can create great things together. There are people who are in need on the other side of the world. When we focus on more important things, we make a great impact on human essences.

Download or read book Four Elements written by John O'Donohue and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beloved author of the bestselling To Bless the Space Between Us and Anam Cara comes a new work that shares his insights on nature and the ancient wisdom of this earth. John O'Donohue won hundreds of thousands of admirers with his now classic work on Celtic spirituality Anam Cara. Unfortunately he died suddenly at age fifty-two just as his book of blessings, To Bless the Space Between Us, was being published. The loss of his powerfully wise and lyrical voice has been profoundly missed, but his many readers are given a special opportunity to revisit John in a new book based on a series of papers he wrote on the elements of water, stone, air, and fire, now published here for the first time. O'Donohue's readers know him as both a spiritual guide and a poet, and in this work he exhibits both qualities, sharing his Celtic heritage and his love for his native landscape in the west of Ireland. As O'Donohue explores a range of themes relating to the way we live our lives today, he reveals how the energy and rhythm of the natural world—its innocence and creativity, its power and splendor—hold profound lessons for us all. With a foreword written by his beloved brother, Pat, this illuminating book is an inspired reflection on the ancient wisdom of the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative study, Horsley builds on his earlier works concerning the problematic and misleading categories of "magic" and "miracle" to examine in-depth the meaning and importance of the narratives of healing and exorcism in the Gospels. Incorporating his work on oral performance and turning to important works in medical anthropology, a new image emerges of how these narratives help us re-evaluate Jesus's place in first-century Galilee and Judea. In his exorcisms and healings, Jesus-in-interaction was empowering the villagers in their struggles for renewal of personal and communal dignity in resistance to invasive Roman rule.
