The Truths are based on the six most fundamental, pervasive, and undeniable facts of our existence. The Six Universal Truths best describe our ultimate reality, otherwise known as our Whole Nature. When we conduct ourselves in ways that reflect this deeper reality, when we think, say, and do things that are in accordance with our Whole Nature, then we are doing things that maintain and promote health, which is Wholeness. We may further develop our Whole Nature through the dimensions of Universal Spirituality, or S.P.I.R.I.T.S Self-awareness, Purpose, Inner-power, Relationships, Integrity, Truth, and Soul.

The Appendix listed 1,200 separate quantitative studies on religion and health each rated in quality on 0-10 scale, followed by about 2,000 references and an extensive index for rapid topic identification.

Book excerpt: As spirituality first appeared in Australian curriculum documents in 1994, it was important to establish how educators thought it related to student well- being. In this research a description and four accounts of spirituality - spiritual rationalism, monism, dualism, and multidimensional unity - were developed from available literature. The literature also revealed four sets of relationships important to spiritual well-being. These were the relationships of a person with themself, others, environment, and Transcendent Other.

This book was released on 2023-04-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. The ecological concept views that human development is influenced by the environmental context. The relationship between the two is reciprocal and has an important influence on one another, as well as on the conditions of post-pandemic education. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an important impact on human life, particularly on education. Conventional learning patterns shift to online mechanisms which of course have advantages and disadvantages, especially in people in developing countries like Indonesia. Lack of interaction due to the pandemic impacts student behaviour, such as learning and coping difficulties (Pavin Ivanec, T., 2022). An important issue that needs serious attention in education, as well as mental health practices in schools after the pandemic, is human development efforts through education which minimizes inequality in education and the relevance of education which is no longer adequate. This can be achieved if Education is geared toward empowering students to engage with real social issues so as to promote a sustainable future. Schools and all existing stakeholders (guidance and counseling teachers/school counselors) can contribute to facilitating sustainable human development through an ethical dimension and presenting an educational model that is able to build students’ self-confidence (Curry-Stevens, 2007). In the end, it is hoped that the efforts of this educational institution can support the achievement of the SDGs, especially in the area of education, which has been proclaimed since the 2000s through the millennium declaration by countries in the world.

Download or read book Measures of Spirituality Religiosity Description of Concepts and Validation of Instruments written by Arndt Büssing and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we need more questionnaires to measure aspects of spirituality/religiosity when we already have so many well-tried instruments in use? One answer is that research in this field is growing and that new research questions continuously do arise. Several of these new questions cannot be easily answered with the instruments designed for previous questions. The field is expanding and, consequently, the research topics. Meanwhile several multidimensional instruments were developed which cover existential, prosocial, religious and non-religious forms of spirituality, hope, peace and trust—and several more. The ‘disadvantage’ of these instruments is the fact that some are conceptually broad and often rather unspecific, but they might be suited quite well for culturally and spiritually diverse populations when the intention is to compare such diverse groups. This is the reason why more research on new instruments is needed as can be found in this Special Issue, and to stimulate a critical debate about their pros and cons.
