Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western societies today are coming unmoored in the face of an earth-shaking ethical and cultural paradigm shift. At its core is the question of what it means to be human and how we are meant to live. The old answers are no longer accepted; a dizzying array of options are offered in their stead. Underpinning this smorgasbord of lifestyles is a thicket of unquestioned assumptions, such as the separation of gender from biological sex, which not so long ago would have been universally rejected as radical notions. In the spring of 2019, a group of Orthodox Christian scholars drawn from a wide variety of academic disciplines met together to offer responses to the moral crisis our generation faces, elaborating upon its various forms and facilitating a fuller understanding of some of its theological and philosophical foundations. In doing so they offer support to all those who question the claims that are so forcefully insisted upon today &– a clarity that will aid them in standing up and resisting trends that have already shown to be the cause of great suffering and unhappiness. Among the contributors to this volume are NY Times bestselling author Rod Dreher, Frederica Matthewes-Green, Dr David Bradshaw, Fr Chad Hatfield, and Fr Peter Heers. Collectively, these scholars remind us that it is only through our participation in the life of Christ, God who became man, that we can find the healing of our humanity through the restoration in us of His image, in which we were formed at the beginning of time.

Download or read book Together written by Vivek H. Murthy, M.D. and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book we need NOW to avoid a social recession, Murthy’s prescient message is about the importance of human connection, the hidden impact of loneliness on our health, and the social power of community. Humans are social creatures: In this simple and obvious fact lies both the problem and the solution to the current crisis of loneliness. In his groundbreaking book, the 19th surgeon general of the United States Dr. Vivek Murthy makes a case for loneliness as a public health concern: a root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world today from alcohol and drug addiction to violence to depression and anxiety. Loneliness, he argues, is affecting not only our health, but also how our children experience school, how we perform in the workplace, and the sense of division and polarization in our society. But, at the center of our loneliness is our innate desire to connect. We have evolved to participate in community, to forge lasting bonds with others, to help one another, and to share life experiences. We are, simply, better together. The lessons in Together have immediate relevance and application. These four key strategies will help us not only to weather this crisis, but also to heal our social world far into the future. Spend time each day with those you love. Devote at least 15 minutes each day to connecting with those you most care about. Focus on each other. Forget about multitasking and give the other person the gift of your full attention, making eye contact, if possible, and genuinely listening. Embrace solitude. The first step toward building stronger connections with others is to build a stronger connection with oneself. Meditation, prayer, art, music, and time spent outdoors can all be sources of solitary comfort and joy. Help and be helped. Service is a form of human connection that reminds us of our value and purpose in life. Checking on a neighbor, seeking advice, even just offering a smile to a stranger six feet away, all can make us stronger. During Murthy’s tenure as Surgeon General and during the research for Together, he found that there were few issues that elicited as much enthusiastic interest from both very conservative and very liberal members of Congress, from young and old people, or from urban and rural residents alike. Loneliness was something so many people have known themselves or have seen in the people around them. In the book, Murthy also shares his own deeply personal experiences with the subject--from struggling with loneliness in school, to the devastating loss of his uncle who succumbed to his own loneliness, as well as the important example of community and connection that his parents modeled. Simply, it’s a universal condition that affects all of us directly or through the people we love—now more than ever.

Download or read book The Healing of Humanity written by Sidney Santos Das Neves and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I studied morphic resonance, family constellation, past life therapy, depression and panic syndrome. There were years of study with people dedicated to humanitarian causes without the capitalist hunger of today. I don't believe in therapeutic things where the person has to pay dearly for a cure. We have to untie this idea of healing through the strength of money.We must clear the question of healing at the mercy of medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. Doctor, therapist are not healersThe spiritual law dictates: What he receives for free must be given for free. The doctor pays for years to acquire the knowledge that inhabits him before official bodies practicing medicine.It is not something acquired for free, but at the cost of a lot of effort, except greed, the payment for this very useful service to humanity is just. However, as the reason and cause of the diseases is the energetic and vibratory imbalance, perceived only from what we call the spiritual plane, medicine and the doctor deal only with physical causes. We have no intention of belittling even medicine, let alone the doctor, just talking about the real causes of illness. Unlike the doctor, the healer is born with the gift of healing, without even knowing where that ability came from. Some legitimate healers are clairvoyant, see the real cause of the disorders presented by the patient and are able to help him.Such a healer can often be observed that the real cause of cancer in that patient was hatred fueled for years. Real and profound healing occurs when there is also the patient's effort in the opposite direction of the disorder. Therefore, the healer will help you to express feelings against hatred.Other healers who are not clairvoyant, simply in front of the patient, they internally know the real cause of the evil that afflicts that soul and will try to lead it to the opposite effort. The third type of healer feels in himself, in front of the patient, the evil that afflicts him and has the ability to "throw it away". Whatever the healer's way of dealing with the patient, his healing ability will decline over time if he comes to trade in it. Now leaving aside doctors and healers, we will take a look at the patient. Seeking only pain relief will not bring about a real and definitive cure.In other words, what went away may return. Real healing had always required conscious effort to discover the spiritual cause.The obese person needs to protect himself from invisible things that attack him and he needs to endure. Thus, weight loss diets or surgeries will treat the physical, but will not teach you how to deal with hidden forces. Dealing with such forces is one of the characteristics of souls incarnated within the Warriors' lineage, but they must learn about all other lineages.In this way, true healing would come from learning a little bit about all the other spiritual lineages. The cure for the ills that afflict humanity orbits in spheres that are not commonly sought by the majority.One of the evils that plagues many is depression, whose cure is more complex because it is the soul's disinterest in this incarnation. For a healing on a larger scale we would have to have healers trained to motivate not personalities, but souls. Deep depression is a soul totally uninterested in life on earth, but as the spirit does not remove it from here, it is left ... Many people cannot bear to commit suicide.

Download or read book Healing the Heart of Democracy written by Parker J. Palmer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope for American democracy in an era of deep divisions In Healing the Heart of Democracy, Parker J. Palmer quickens our instinct to seek the common good and gives us the tools to do it. This timely, courageous and practical work—intensely personal as well as political—is not about them, "those people" in Washington D.C., or in our state capitals, on whom we blame our political problems. It's about us, "We the People," and what we can do in everyday settings like families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations and workplaces to resist divide-and-conquer politics and restore a government "of the people, by the people, for the people." In the same compelling, inspiring prose that has made him a bestselling author, Palmer explores five "habits of the heart" that can help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other: An understanding that we are all in this together An appreciation of the value of "otherness" An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways A sense of personal voice and agency A capacity to create community Healing the Heart of Democracy is an eloquent and empowering call for "We the People" to reclaim our democracy. The online journal Democracy & Education called it "one of the most important books of the early 21st Century." And Publishers Weekly, in a Starred Review, said "This beautifully written book deserves a wide audience that will benefit from discussing it."
Download or read book Wondrous Healing written by James McClenon and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, spiritual questions have haunted the hearts and minds of humankind. Do higher powers exist, and if so, what is our relationship to them? And how else might we interpret seemingly miraculous events such as faith healing, out-of-body experiences, and extrasensory perceptions? Wondrous Healing traces the human capacity for religious belief to the success of ancient healing rituals, such as chanting to calm women in childbirth or rhythmic dancing to reduce trauma from wounds. Those who accepted these hypnotic suggestions were far more likely to receive positive benefits from the "healing." The apparent success of such rituals, McClenon argues, led to the development of shamanism, humankind's first religion. Controversial and daring, McClenon's theory is based on his extensive research and firsthand observation of modern shamanistic performances across Asia and North America. His evidence supports the argument that evolutionary processes developed a biological basis for religion. McClenon's historical and anthropological analyses of these issues explore the relationship between science, society, and spirituality.

Download or read book The Healing written by Gayl Jones and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of a National Book Award finalist follows a black faith healer whose shrewd observations about human nature are told with the rich lyricism of the oral storytelling tradition. From the acclaimed author of Corregidora, The Healing follows Harlan Jane Eagleton as she travels to small towns, converting skeptics, restoring minds, and healing bodies. But before she found her calling, Harlan had been a minor rock star’s manager and, before that, a beautician. Harlan retraces her story to the beginning, when she once had a fling with the rock star’s ex-husband and found herself infatuated with an Afro-German horse dealer. Along the way she’s somehow lost her own husband, a medical anthropologist now traveling with a medicine woman across eastern Africa. Harlan draws us deeper into her world and the mystery at the heart of her tale: the story of her first healing. The Healing is a lyrical and at times humorous exploration of the struggle to let go of pain, anger, and even love. Slipping seamlessly back through Harlan’s memories in a language rich with the textured cadences of unfiltered dialogue, Gayl Jones weaves her story to its dramatic—and unexpected—beginning.
