Download or read book Shamans Mystics and Doctors written by Sudhir Kakar and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shamans, Mystics and Doctors is a detailed and thoroughly fascinating account of the many ways in which the ancient healing traditions of India—embodied in the rituals of shamans, the teachings of gurus and the precepts of the school of medicine known as Ayurveda—diagnose and treat emotional disorder. Drawing on three years of intensive fieldwork and his own psychoanalytic training and experience, Sudhir Kakar takes us into a world of Islamic mosques and Hindu temples, of assembled multitudes, and dingy, out-of-the-way consultation rooms… a world where patients and healers blame evil spirits for emotional disturbances… where dreams and symptoms that would be familiar to Freud are interpreted in terms of a myriad of deities and legends… where trance-like “dissociation states” are induced to bring out and resolve the conflicts of repressed anger, lust and envy… where proper grooming, diet, exercise and conduct are (and have been for centuries) seen as essential to the preservation of a healthy mind and body. As he witnesses the practitioners and their patients, as he elucidates the therapeutic systems on which their encounters are based, as he contrasts his own Western training and biases with evidence of his eyes (and the sympathies of his heart), Kakar reveals the universal concerns of these individuals and their admittedly foreign cultures—people we can recognize and feel for, people (like their Western counterparts) trying to find some balance between the pressures and rewards of the external world and the fantasies and desires of the internal. This is a major work of cultural interpretation, a book that challenges (and should enhance) our understanding of therapy, mental health and individual freedom.

Download or read book Ecomysticism written by Carl von Essen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the philosophy, science, and spirituality of nature mysticism and its Green calling • Offers a solid bridge between spiritual practice and environmental activism • Reveals how we can heal the environment by renewing our connection to it • Shows how spiritual encounters in nature are healing the Nature Deficit Disorder of our psyches and bodies Many have been struck by a majestic moment in nature--a sole illuminated flower in a shady grove, an owl swooping silently across a wooded path, or an infinitely starry sky--and found themselves in a state of expanded awareness so profound they can feel the interconnectedness of all life. These trance-like moments of clarity, unity, and wonder often incite a call to protect and preserve the earth--to support Nature as she supports us. Termed “nature mysticism,” people from all cultures have described such experiences. However, the ever-increasing urbanization of the world’s population is threatening this ancient connection as well as the earth itself. In Ecomysticism, Carl von Essen explores nature mysticism through the recorded experiences of outdoor enthusiasts as well as scientific studies in biology, psychology, and neuroscience. Citing consciousness scholar William James and a variety of well-known nature lovers such as Ansel Adams, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, von Essen shows how the spiritual transcendence from an encounter in nature--like other mystical experiences--is healing the Nature Deficit Disorder of our psyches and bodies, leading to an expansion of our worldview and a clearer understanding of our self and of our natural world. Offering a solid bridge between spiritual practice and environmental activism, von Essen’s spiritual ecology reveals how only through a renewal of humanity’s spiritual connection to nature can we effect true environmental healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interaction of spiritual and psychoanalytic lineages with psychotherapy in everyday practice. Written by a team of seasoned clinicians and illustrated through clinical vignettes, chapters explore topics pertaining to the mystical dimensions of psychological and spiritual life and how it may be integrated into clinical practice. Topics discussed include dreams, dissociation, creativity, therapeutic relationship, free association, transcendence, poetry, paradox, doubleness, loss, death, grief, mystery, embodiment and soul. The authors, clinicians with decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and spiritual practice, draw from their deep engagement with spirituality and psychoanalysis, focusing on a particular theme and its application to clinical work that is supported by the generative conversation among these lineages. At once applied and theoretical, this book weaves insights from the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism, Ecumenicism, Integral Spirituality, Judaism, Kaballah, Non-violence, Sufism and Vedanta. They are in conversation with psychoanalytic perspectives including Jungian, Post-Jungian, Winnicottian, Bionian, Post-Bionian and Relational. A felt sense of the spiritual psyche in clinical practice emerges from this conversation among spiritual and psychoanalytic lineages, beckoning clinicians ever further on the path of spiritually rooted, psychodynamic practice.

Download or read book Empath to Mystic written by Aaran Solh and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empath to Mystic is a complete blueprint, guiding you to an internal source of confidence, strength, and mastery of your spiritual ability. On this journey you will transform: ~ Procrastination and a lack of motivation into passion and action. ~ Mental doubts into confidence and courage. ~ Overwhelm into mental clarity, and perspective. ~ Numbness and confusion into creativity that shines through a free and open heart. As one reviewer wrote: "Aaran is beloved for sharing such deep and personal wisdom. In all my years of self-discovery, I've never come across someone who understands exactly what I've gone through the way Aaran does and how to master a part of myself in such simple steps, through contemplation and journaling. Not only do I think this is a well-planned tutorial, but it truly comes from a place of love." Becoming a true mystic, you will learn that trying to distinguish between your thoughts and emotions and the thoughts and emotions of others is an endless, looping, and exhausting task and that there actually is no difference. You will go on a journey of emotional healing and understand why your unique empathic ability has awakened. You will embrace the profound messages you receive from your inner voice; finding the confidence to share those messages with the world. em·path: a person who is awakening to the oneness of all beings and who has become aware of their ability to apprehend the mental and emotional states of others. mys·tic: a person who has a spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect and who allows those truths to guide their life. The world's most well known modern mystics, from The Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra to Pema Chodron and Eckart Tolle emphasize the importance of practice when seeking connection with your authentic self. Therefore, while providing you with a detailed intellectual comprehension of your empathic and spiritual ability, Empath to Mystic also offers a practical guide to using it. It contains over 220 meditations, journaling prompts, and action steps that will help transform your life from the inside out. Becoming a master of your inner voice and intuition is about so much more than getting clear answers to life's questions or having a finely tuned instrument for manifestation. It is ultimately about awakening to the truth of yourself and knowing without question what your work is in the world. It is about self-love and absolute confidence in your intuition. It is about opening your heart and turning your intuition into a powerful tool that helps others. Aaran and his book Empath to Mystic will illuminate the path to fearlessly being yourself and to living an abundant life that is a testimony of passion, freedom, and confidently 'dancing to the beat of your own drum.' Will you step up to reclaim your authentic vision, inner connection, silent receptivity, and purposeful creation?
