Abstract:
It is an established Hellenistic topos that philosophy is the ‘medicine’ of the soul, in charge of ‘healing’ the soul in the same way as medicine is in charge of healing the body. The ‘diseases’ of the soul deemed to be in need of healing are its passions, that is, its fears and desires, and the moral ‘health’ that philosophers pledge to grant their followers is freedom from passions and hence peace of mind.

Abstract:
In the field of mental health nowadays, rhe public find several alternatives to heal the psychiatric disorders. Some decades earlier however, efforts to heal their soul were perhaps more focused on models of healing typical of the region. Now public can find alternative healings that come from different regions and even countries. This phenomenon happens in Serang city, the capital of Banten province. Serang society have been encountered by various soul healing techniques (psychotherapy) based on culture, religion, and science. The healing techniques could be the continuation of the typical model developed by 1he older generation and it also could be an alien healing model that fit into society. Using descriptive-qualitative approach, the researc her argues that there are three models of psychotherapy among Muslims in Serang city, namely: ruqyah therapy, magic healing (hikmah), and rehabilitation model. In the three models of psychotherapy, I discovered similarities and differences in rhe process of rh e therapy. In ruqyah models, rhe opproach is based on the major religious texts., the Koran and the Hadith. The magic healing model is a combination of religious lexrs and loca l influence. The last is the rehabilitation model which is based on the medical­ psychological approach.

Abstract:
In this study, I explored how nature writing could be seen as healing text. I described some common problems associated with the construction of trauma and grief narratives and examined how nature writers dealt with them. The study began with my frustration at being unable to write a healing narrative for myself and progressed as I integrated research that informed my own writing. The literature I read included a variety of perspectives, from Jungian and traditional psychotherapy to current writing theory. I used the theory to comment on the nature writing texts as I discovered them. Using the words and stories of nature writers to fuel my own, I explored how their writing was both personally reflective and socially aware. In particular, I examined the importance of the natural world as a significant "other" for the writers and analyzed how their relationship with nature brought meaning and solace to their grieving.

Abstract:

Money is one of the strongest driving forces in society today. Its power over the human experience is widespread, yet many people are blind to their relationship with money and the psychological effects it has on them. Money has become a taboo topic in present-day society; even in psychotherapy it is swept under the rug. Employing heuristic methodology, this thesis uses a depth psychological approach to explore how awareness of one’s relationship with money can facilitate the healing of wounds caused by the misuse of money. The author uses her personal experiences with the money complex, along with existing research, to better understand this phenomenon. The findings show that in raising awareness around one’s own money complex, one finds that money may be used as an instrument of the soul rather than just a mere instrument of functioning, or surviving, in today’s modern society.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation research investigated the experience and the transformational impact of the Person-Centered Soul Retrieval (PCSR) shamanic healing method of Shaman Ross Bishop on personal healing and transformation. PCSR is 1 intervention in a larger shamanic healing process which was modified from Mayan shamanism specifically for use in the United States and potentially for use in other Western societies. The intended result of the shamanic healing is transformation of the self towards wholeness, or integration of the inner parts of an individual, which is a goal inherent to transpersonal psychology. The potential for the use of this shamanic healing process in psychotherapy today is promising, yet evidence for its efficacy and impact was only anecdotal. The purpose of this study then, was to describe, analyze, and interpret the experience and the transformational impact of the specific process of PCSR, 1 aspect of the larger healing system. The current research used a case study method appropriate for exploratory and descriptive research. Based on the logic of replication, a multiple case study design with 5 independent cases was conducted. Participants received the PSCR intervention in 1 or more sessions, the number of which depended on participants’ individual therapeutic needs. Multiple sources of data included transcripts of all intervention sessions; session notes taken during each session; semistructured participant journal entries after each session, as well as at the end of the treatment cycle; and transcripts of a semistructured final interview with the participants. Data analysis included thematic content analysis with an inductive process to identify themes, as well as to discover descriptive evidence for themes. Pattern matching was used within each case, then aggregated across cases in a cross-case analysis. Results of all 5 of the individual cases and cross-case analyses support the efficacy of the PCSR intervention by demonstrating a significant transformative impact on all participants in emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral areas.

Zimmermann, Denise Marie. "Body, Soul, Spirit Healing for Those Approaching Death| Narrative Research into a Sacred Feminine Perspective on End-of-Life Care, a Healing Deathbed via a Body-Soul-Spirit Positionality Paradigm." Thesis, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13421924.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation considers the characteristics of a sacred feminine perspective toward death and dying in today’s United States. A sacred feminine perspective as brought to the deathbed by women healers respects the sanctity of life; intuitively adopts a holistic perspective; and witnesses, not observes, the dying through active engagement on physical, psychological, and spiritual levels. A sacred feminine perspective affirms the dying person’s journey as one of self-acceptance and release. To explore this perspective’s healing power, I pose the following question: How can end-of-life caregiving and religious perspectives on dying be integrated toward a spiritual feminist perspective to create a new paradigm of care for the dying person?

To answer this inquiry, I explored from a phenomenological perspective the stories from end-of-life caregivers, primarily in the United States, as well as literature from other healing modalities to develop a framework that may be used by those assisting the dying. The methodologies I utilized for this study are women’s spiritual ways of knowing, including spiritual feminist hermeneutics. In my research, I applied narrative analysis—integrating organic and intuitive inquiry methods—to relevant literature, including stories from end-of-life caregivers about the types of care used in their work, as well as their interpretations of the dying persons’ experiences. This methodological integration allowed me to achieve a more nuanced understanding of the human experience of dying, and to develop and enhance skillful means for the sacred work of midwifing death.

In this theoretical study, I propose a model called the Body-Soul-Spirit Positionality Paradigm, which holds that each person lives as well as dies primarily through one of three dimensions of self: the body, the soul (defined here as feelings and thoughts), or the spirit. A major objective of this dissertation is the development and illustration of the Body-Soul-Spirit Positionality Paradigm as a practical/theoretical framework for addressing the specific physical, emotional/mental, and spiritual needs of the dying person to help them truly rest in peace.

By understanding the dying person’s positionality, the end-of-life doula will be able to provide personalized access to effective healing modalities such as the implementation of positionality blessing cards.

Full text
Abstract:

This thesis combines alchemical hermeneutic and participatory phenomenological methods to study the synchronicity of spontaneous trauma healing through reparative heart-centered attachment, group, and psyche work. It seeks to identify the archetypal, shamanic, noetic, mythopoetic, and psychodynamic power of groups to transform traumatic wounds—in light of Donald Winnicott’s “good enough” and somatic gestalt concepts—into altruistic, compassionate, mindful acceptance, and resiliency. It explores ideas of healing through examining the history of trauma, the effects of trauma on attachment and relational behaviors, neuroscience, universal ideas of compassion, mindful awareness, yoga, and meditation. The author immersed herself in different groups and self-healing practices and then processed her experiences through Jungian, psychoanalytic, somatic, depth, spiritual, meditation, and traditional lenses as described by Carl G. Jung, Donald Kalsched, Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Joseph Campbell, Andrew Solomon, and Mary Main.

Abstract Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivors are at risk of suffering from myriad physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and energetic aftereffects. Scant research has addressed healing of spiritual and energetic aftereffects, especially sense of fragmentation/soul loss. No published research has addressed shamanic healing for CSA survivors. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative descriptive research was to describe the use of shamanic healing as a complementary health approach for adult CSA survivors from the perspectives of shamanic healers. A qualitative descriptive design was used in this research. In-depth semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 15 shamanic practitioners. Interviews focused on the shamanic practitioners’ perspectives of CSA healing from western and shamanic viewpoints, shamanic methods of assessment, intervention, evaluation of outcomes, and benefits for adult CSA survivors. Interview data were analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis, including coding, sorting, and categorizing. Shamanic practitioners described the Western viewpoint on CSA healing as limited in scope by not adequately addressing energetic and spiritual aftereffects, with the potential to leave the survivor stuck in victim mode. In contrast, the shamanic perspective was described as an expanded paradigm for CSA healing, extending beyond the individual to multigenerational healing. CSA was framed as an event in the survivor’s life that served as a teacher of life lessons, inviting the survivor to live up to one’s full potential and not be defined by CSA. The findings indicated that shamanic healing has the potential to facilitate transformative integrative healing of the adult CSA survivor by addressing the relational, spiritual, energetic, and multigenerational impact of CSA. Shamanic healing involved integrating the survivor’s perceived lost soul parts (vital energy) back into consciousness, clearing toxic energy, and restoring energy flow. The findings have implications for nursing education, theory, practice, research, and policy. The findings can serve as a foundation for designing future research on shamanic healing to address the full spectrum of healing needs of adult CSA survivors

Full text
Abstract:
Initiation of Microcracks in rigid pavement usually starts within few hours of casting due to the shrinkage of concrete and casting at hot environment condition. Cracking proceeds and changes to macrocracks throughout the service life of the pavement due to repetitions of compressive, tensile, and shear stress under wheel loading. Such cracking exhibits a durability problem since the ingress of moisture and harmful chemicals such as sulphates and chlorides into the concrete through the cracks can cause premature matrix degradation and corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement at joints, which may result in the decrement of strength and service life. In this work, implementation of self-healing techniques was adopted with the aid of bacteria and healing agent to precipitate CaCo3 on the formed micro-cracks. The precipitation of calcite by continuous hydration of cement helps in production of calcium carbonate precipitation with the help of bacteria. A soil bacterium named Bacillus subtilis was cultured in the laboratory, the concentration of bacteria cell of B. subtilits in normal saline (NaCl, 9 g/l) suspension was 106 cell/ml. Concrete specimens of various type (cube of 100x100x100 mm, cylinder of 100mm diameter and 200mm height, and beam of 100 x 100 x 500 mm) size have been prepared in the laboratory, then separated to three sets. The first set of specimens were subjected to controlled compression and flexure pre-cracking, then subjected to healing and curing in a water bath which contains the prementioned bacteria at 20°C for 7 days. The second set was the control specimens cured in water bath for 7 and 28 days at 20°C. The third set of specimens were subjected to healing and curing in a water bath which contains the prementioned bacteria at 20°C for 7 and 28 days and then tested for compressive, indirect tensile, and flexure properties. It was observed that the healing process provided by the bacteria have improved the overall properties of concrete by (23, 11 and 16) % for compressive, tensile and flexure strength respectively as compared to those of control mixture after 28 days of curing. On the other hand, specimens subjected to controlled pre-cracking exhibit improvement in strength properties after the healing process provided by the bacteria by (28 and 33) % for compressive and flexure strength respectively as compared to those of control mixture after 7 days of curing. It was concluded that spraying of bacterial water for curing the concrete is beneficial and can be considered as sustainable and environment friendly solution for maintenance. Bacteria can reserve, develop and maintain the quality of rigid pavement.

Abstract:
A common type of battlefield injury involves high speed fragments of different sizes and shapes hitting the human body, particularly the extremities. Gaining a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in those injuries can result in better strategies for providing medical care. One aspect that still requires additional research is the contamination of ballistic wounds. Studies published in the open literature have shown that in perforating projectile wounds airborne debris such as skin, cloth, and soil particles are introduced into the wound by either the projectile or by the suction created due to the formation of the temporary wound cavity. These debris can transport bacteria resulting in infection, delayed wound healing, or other complications. The amount of suction and ultimately the bacteria distribution in ballistic wounds can vary depending on parameters such as projectile velocity, caliber, mass, and location of injury. Numerical models can be used to study the influence of various parameters on the suction effect but experimental data is needed to validate the simulation results. This paper presents an experiment developed to provide an initial evaluation of numerical models of the air flow and suction effect in perforating projectile wounds. The experiment used rectangular prism (cuboid) targets made of ballistic gelatin which is a common soft-tissue surrogate material used in ballistic research. These targets were shot with 11.43 mm (0.45 in) caliber round lead projectiles fired from air rifles at approximately 230 m/s. The air flow into the temporary cavity of the tissue surrogate targets was visualized using a vapor curtain placed at the projectile entry location. A high speed digital camera captured the movement of the vapor curtain and the formation of the temporary wound cavity during the tests. To simulate the experiment, a Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) model was run using Abaqus/Explicit. In the model, the mechanical behavior of the soft-tissue surrogate target was represented using a hyper-elastic constitutive relation. A small pre-made cylindrical channel was added to the targets to avoid using techniques such as element erosion or considering material failure when modeling the passage of the projectile through the material. Qualitative and limited quantitative results from the model were compared with the results from the laboratory tests.
