Abstract:
In this paper, we will present Rinzai practices from Zen Masters Ikkyū Sōjun (一休宗純, 1394–1481) and Hakuin Ekaku (白隠 慧鶴, 1686–1769) as offering a distinctive kind of spiritual exercise: disruptive reorientation to transcendence (enlightenment) through immanence (a return to the world in all its ugly distractions, beauty, and insight). This paper seeks to explore Hadot’s philosophy as a way of life (PWL) through Rinzai Zen’s unique and often bizarre spiritual exercises. In so doing, this paper hopes to explore new grounds for PWL spiritual exercises in the eccentricities of Japanese Rinzai Zen masters whose approaches wander and diverge yet remain distinctively Rinzai in nature. In the first section, we provide some background on treating spiritual exercises in an intercultural context and explore the exemplarily disruptive spiritual exercises that Rinzai Zen offers PWL practice, especially through poetry, kōans, and meditation in the midst of everyday activity. We then turn to particular examples found in the lives and spiritual practices of Ikkyū and Hakuin. We conclude with reflections on how Rinzai Zen and PWL inform one another through the exploration of “spiritual exercise” and disruption not only as scholarly pursuits but also in terms of our own arts of mindful living today.

Abstract:
The present study is an attempt to contribute to the debates on the relationship between spiritual traditions and Descartes’s Meditations. Taking its point of departure from Pierre Hadot’s inspiring studies, the article aims to describe the nature of the philosophical practice that Meditations embodies and to discuss the ways in which the work can be located in the history of the relations between theory and practice. To this end, Hadot’s suggestion that Meditations should be read as a set of spiritual exercises will be criticized through an analysis of the nature of the “non-argumentative” or “experiential” level that is at work in Descartes’s text. By showing that the transformation intended by Descartes does not reach beyond the level of cognition, it will be argued that even though Descartes makes use of certain key elements of the spiritualist literature, he belongs to the modern age of “philosophy without spirituality.”

Abstract:
Today, yoga is considered as an alternative exercise approach to obtain personal health and wellbeing. Yoga’s holistic methodology strives to unite one’s body, mind, and spirit; it is a method of exercise mirrored in the physical, mental, and emotional benefits which result. The focus of this paper will highlight on the effect of yogic exercises and meditation on emotional wellness and spiritual wellness among women. The objectives of this study were to find out the level of emotional wellness and spiritual wellness of women before and after treatment and to find out the impact of yogic exercises and meditation on the emotional wellness and spiritual wellness of women. The investigators have adopted quasi-experimental method for this study. Results of this study show that there is significant difference between pretest and post test scores on emotional wellness and spiritual wellness of women before and after the yogic exercises and meditation.

Abstract:
An upset spiritual director just ended a retreat with a group of African priests because they could not observe strict silence. Similar situations elsewhere on the continent led a young African student to raise the question of the suitability of sixteenth-century Spiritual Exercises to modern Africans. This essay acknowledges the challenges facing spiritual directors to “accurately” apply the method of the Spiritual Exercises in a diverse and ever-evolving, noisy and busy world. From the concrete experience of this group of priests, it argues for the suitability of the Exercises to the African context based on the adaptability and flexibility inherent in Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercise and subsequent directories. The particular crisis between this director and his retreatants, however, also presents a unique opportunity for retreat directors to find creative ways to accommodate retreatants with specific needs, and to communicate the message of the Exercises in a way that is both accessible to and respectful of the African worldview. KEYWORDS: Retreat Director. Diocesan African Context. Blended Retreat. Confession and Narrativity.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Melissa M. Kelley
Some people seek to become truly religious, but pursuing this goal takes much more than a routine religious practice. The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is one way one can commence to live a living faith. In my thesis I am trying to show how the Spiritual Exercises can help people grow in their faith and their relationship with God. The special way that the Exercises can help us to reach this goal is mainly through the transformation of our unhealthy or false images of God and transformation of ourselves into the image of Christ

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Brian D. Robinette
This project attempts to respond to Charles Taylor's invitation, made in A Secular Age, for "new and unprecedented itineraries" capable of guiding seekers toward an encounter with God. Today, many Westerners find belief in God difficult if not impossible. This essay begins with an overview of Taylor's secularization narrative and explores the causes and pressures that have made belief in the Transcendent problematic. To respond to Taylor's summons for new itineraries, I turn in Chapters 2-4 to the work of philosopher William Desmond. After introducing readers to Desmond and locating him on a landscape dominated by phenomenologists, I introduce Desmond's metaphysical philosophy and argue that this his thought can be approached as a form of spiritual exercise capable of reawakening a sense of the Transcendent. In Chapters 3 and 4 I engage the work of Pierre Hadot to show how Desmond's philosophy can work to transform the way one perceives the world. Read within this framework, I believe Desmond's metaxological metaphysics provides a series of spiritual exercises needed in an increasingly secular age. Read in this light, metaxology becomes less a philosophy about which one must be informed than a philosophy capable of forming readers to perceive reality anew. In Chapter 5, I draw out some of the theological implications for this interpretation of Desmond's work. In the conclusion, I survey the project and indicate what I consider to be the theological achievement of Desmond's project and potential openings for future engagement with his work

Abstract:
The paper compares key life and spiritual experiences of St. Ignatius of Loyola with his literary works (the Spiritual Exercises, Constitutions and Spiritual Diary). It primarily focuses on events that influenced the “birth of a mystic” especially his stays in Loyola, Manresa and by the river of Cardoner. The paper also discusses a phenomenological description and interpretation of Ignatius’ spiritual metaphors and parables (God’s soldier – knight, life as a spiritual struggle, vocation as the call of the King, Christian life as a choice of Christ’s robe and its adornments). What is typical for Ignatius is that he radically shifted and spiritualized the semantics of this “secular” images. There is a spiritual theme that runs through Constitutions and which is based on a motif of spiritual love and not fear or discomfort. In Spiritual Diary Ignatius moves from spiritual metaphors and seeks new words to describe his mystical experience.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of physical exercise as an alternative to integrative and complementary practices and its importance in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods: This is a literature review that was carried out in the PubMed and SciELO databases, in which the articles were searched using the following terms: breast cancer, physical exercise, quality of life, and nonpharmacological treatment, selected between the period of 2017 and 2022. The types of study selected for research were experimental and observational. Results: A study carried out with 28 patients was divided into an experimental group (combined and hospital treatment) and a control group (hospital treatment), where it was concluded that the combined treatment (aerobic, resistance, and flexibility exercise) led to an increase in the frequency of physical activity. Physical exercise in patients with breast cancer provides better cardiorespiratory and joint control. In another study that was carried out with 10 women who survived breast cancer, for 4 months, with the practice of combined physical exercises, it was evidenced that remotely supervised non-face-to-face aerobic and resistance exercises can help maintain the level of fatigue positively. These results corroborate the perception of professionals from the Family Health Strategy, who observed the positive effects of complementary integrative practices (PICS) through the suffering and fragility in the treatment of women with breast cancer, acting on an emotional and spiritual improvement for them, which makes these practices relevant adjunct to conventional treatment in primary care. Conclusion: Physical exercise as an integrative practice can improve asthenia, assist in cardiorespiratory and joint control, and aid in the management of fatigue. Therefore, PICS provides emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits for patients diagnosed with breast cancer.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Yoga is a combination of physical, mental, and spiritual practices. It is an ideal stress reliever and a powerful therapy for mental and physical disorders. Since they were created, Swami Dev Murti’s “Crocodile Exercises” have significantly contributed to the yoga practice. Swami Dev Murti invented them after a thorough study of ancient yoga practices. These exercises are considered the most original and effective practice for dealing with spinal, lower back, and pectoral (shoulder) girdle issues. The survey aimed at monitoring the changes occurring in a human’s body after practicing “Crocodile Exercises” for 30 days. The research was conducted with 37 people of different ages with experience in yoga. А questionnaire survey, pedagogical experiment, and maths-statistical methods were used for the research to be carried out. The questionnaire card was used to determine the popularity of Swami Dev Murthy’s “Crocodile Exercises”. The pedagogical experiment involved performing the recommended yoga practice „Crocodile Exercises“ for 30 days. Test 1 (flexibility in the lower part of the spine) and Test 2 (shoulder girdle) were used to establish the level of spinal flexibility. The results were processed with the Microsoft Pack software package, particularly Microsoft Excel. After analyzing the results from the measurement of the flexibility in the lower part of the spine, it was found that the positive effect of the yoga practice “Crocodile Exercises” was much greater on women. The results from the measurement of the flexibility in the upper part of the spine showed a significant improvement in both sexes. All participants noted unequivocally, without exception, the positive effect of these exercises on their bodies. The results from the experiment revealed that the yoga practice “Crocodile Exercises” had a beneficial impact on the overall improvement in subjects’ physical, mental, and emotional states.

Abstract:
We analyze Paneurhythmy through the perspective of the theo-anthropological approach to physical education. This psycho-physical system of exercises combines rhythmic movements with ideas, music, and poetry, performed in a group, with specific space organization, in the open. The author, Beinsa Douno, is a founder of a Christian philosophy for a life in harmony with nature, where exercising is important for personality development. We analyze: 1. Constituent elements: movements, music, and poetic text; 2. Performance: person, pairs, and group; 3. Education: relations and personality development. Conclusions: The movements are functional and suitable for all: multi-planar and multi-joint movements involving symmetrically the left and right parts of the body, with full range of motion in the joints, exercised in upright position, in walking, for coordination, balance and functional strength; the music is classical type for inspirational concentration and the poetic text is dominated by the notions for positive emotions, love and joy, and light, including the notion of God in non-religious context. During performance of Paneurhythmy the full potential of a person is activated, physical and spiritual, and social ethics develops by coordinating one's performance with the partner and the group around a unifying center. The educational process is founded on mutual respect and discussions focused on personality development and character qualities in a non-profit activity. Paneurhythmy exercises can be considered food for the body encouraging the creation of a harmonious exercising community. It can be an example a physical education practice in line with the theo-anthropological approach.

Abstract:
The traditional Chinese aerobic fitness exercise tai chi, is a form of low to moderate intensity physical activity. Tai chi is a good example of both therapeutic exercise and a form of preparation for gentle hand-to-hand combat (especially as safe self-defence, also from the perspective of a potential aggressor) . In Chinese society, these forms of exercise are the primary means of preventive health, active lifestyle and, in a sense, conventional physiotherapy or even rehabilitation. Many schools of tai chi based on the same theoretical principles of exercise are still emerging in China. There are currently six main schools of tai chi and the mainstream is based on the styles; Chen, Yang, Sun, Hao, Wu and He. As a result of evolutionary, practice-based changes linked to traditional oriental medicine, the ai chi method has been popularised. Its core element is part of rehabilitation in water as a 'physical-mental' treatment. Combining the advantages of tai chi and hydropathy, ai tai chi has complementary advantages in terms of sensory stimulation (such as the ability to maintain balance, sense of movement, development of strength, proprioception etc.) and mental development resulting from the valuable practice of eastern hand-to-hand combat, which is generally recognised as kung fu (alternatively wu shu).Similar modifications of these systems of hand-to-hand combat and healing exercises are part of the methodological concept of INNOAGON (an acronym for innovative agonology). Its basic method is a complementary approach, with the main aim of strengthening all dimensions of health and survival from the micro to the macro scale. For many decades tai chi has been gaining popularity around the world, but has moved significantly away from its roots. Today, tai chi exercises seem to have lost the sense of martial training and are rather seen as three strands parallel to each other: sport, health and spiritual (i.e. related to mental health). It is precisely the philosophy of health characteristic of Chinese culture combined with the various styles of traditional kung-fu hand-to-hand combat that is a very important alternative to the pathologies of neo-gladiatorism. It comes close to fulfilling the social mission of INNOAGON, as does Japanese budo. These systems, in a sense, refer to the Greek philosophy of kalos kagatos. The methodological potential of INNOAGON makes intercultural dialogue over time (from the past, through the present towards the future), supported by a repeatedly verified practice with great health and personal security values, an important way of balancing the negative effects of the increasingly strong human coupling with the attractions of modern digital technology.

Abstract:
“Education´s goal is the ability to master life with self-creative forces, in order to achieve something good and beautiful.” Götze, C. (1898). Das kind als Künstler Projects at Mexican schools of architecture often focus on conventional issues of dimension and function; in a country with the largest number of students in the architectural discipline there is an existing disinterest in the appropriation of knowledge, exploration of complexity, and expression of ideas. Such a disinterest calls for the evolution of architectural education. This research proposes it is possible to manage the creative forces of individuals. A working model composed of distinct components will be generated to stimulate areas related to artistic development. In preparation, essential components of the model have been extracted by analysis from the Bauhaus Preliminary Course developed by Johannes Itten, considering its influence on sequential tutors as well as its moment of historic implementation (1918-1923). The objective is to transform Itten´s pedagogy by means of a systemic design process focusing on the development of creative skills. The first methodological approach has been extracted from three of Itten’s thematic fields, each structured by a set of common elements: principle, objective, common material, exercises, and phases (Fig. 1). The sets are related according to their role in the development of talent as a means to discern and reveal artistic character: - BEING UNDER CONSTRUCTION: A physical-soul-spiritual unity that incorporates artistic education through exercises for awakening the body and intellectual harmonization (Fig. 1a). - BALANCED COMPOSITION: Refinement of the senses through intuitive analysis of artistic structures and a critical drawing of reality (Fig. 1b). - CONTRAST: The art of objectivity through the study of opposites: feeling-thinking, intuition-intellect, expression-construction (Fig. 1c). A responsible party, acting as structural element, directs the capacities stimulated within the group and materialized by cohesive exercises, guiding students to define an authentic trajectory: - FAMILIARIZATION: Understanding the bases. - EXPERIMENTATION: Articulation of new configurations. - APPROPRIATION: Creation from the unknown. - OPERATION: Execution in real-time. - REDIRECTION: Return to the origin to adjust and resume. By asserting the student is the center of his or her unique working model the implementation of this method in architectural studios allows for the assignment of any creative exercise and is suitable for all levels of investigation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3644

Abstract:
"The bibliographic paradigm is not, as it was considered for a while, neither exclusively quantitative, nor exclusively technical, nor exclusively technological, nor obviously traditionalist"; (prof. Ion Stoica). A culture without bibliographic tools and without a current bibliographic exercise remains blind and bereft, both in the face of the past and in the face of the future. Bibliography organizes information from any field, on any subject or about any personality. Herder, referring to the spiritual specificity of historical epochs, asserted that they are composed of individualities and which, like epochs, must be examined and judged by reference to their specific “essence and aims”. We refer to our era, and “B.P. Hasdeu” Municipal Library, engaged civically, culturally and scientifically, practices the bibliographic tool and principle in its research activity. “B.P. Hasdeu” Municipal Library has a rich experience in bibliographic research. It has passed, since the 90s, from the recommended bibliography (bibliographic lists, bibliographic journals, bulletins of new entries) to scientific bibliographies - thematic, selective, biobibliographies, bibliographic monographs, critical, analytical, historical, current, retrospective, branch, etc.

Abstract:
This article presents the definition of myth as one of the important components of ethnic culture. Some ancient mythical systems are analyzed: Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian, Greek, Roman. It is found that in later historical epochs, with the systematization and recognition of the value of scientific knowledge, the merit of the myth of exemplifying reality becomes more and more plausible, remaining as a value at the level of aesthetic exercise. All world and national religions, as institutional exponents of some myths to the detriment of others, have had a confrontation with mythological phenomena. It is emphasized that through the existence of myths, the human being has managed to evolve. With the help of myths, man maintains his origin. Through the presence of myths the human being is organized in society. It is mentioned that myth is not only the first form of culture, but also man’s change of the spiritual life, which is preserved even when the myth loses its absolute importance. Myth is the oldest system of values. Thus, culture evolves from myth to knowledge, from imagination to law.

Abstract:
Drawing on Milbank and Agamben, a politico-juridical anthropology matrix can be drawn describing the relations between ius and bios (justice and political life) on the one hand and dominium and zoe (private power and ‘bare life’) on the other hand. Mapping movements in the basic configurations of this matrix over the long sweep of Western cultural history enable us to see where we are currently situated in relation to the nexus between politico-juridical authority (sovereignty) and the emergency use of executive State powers in the context of biosecurity. The argument presented is that pre-19th century understandings of ius and bios presupposed transcendent categories of Justice and the Common Good that were not naturalistically defined. The very recent idea of a purely naturalistic naturalism has made distinctions between bios and zoe un-locatable and civic ius is now disappearing into a strangely ‘private’ total power (dominium) over the bodies of citizens, as exercised by the State. The very meaning of politico-juridical authority and the sovereignty of the State is undergoing radical change when viewed from a long perspective. This paper suggests that the ancient distinction between power and authority is becoming meaningless, and that this loss erodes the ideas of justice and political life in the Western tradition. Early modern capitalism still retained at least the theory of a Providential moral order, but since the late 19th century, morality has become fully naturalized and secularized, such that what moral categories Classical economics had have been radically instrumentalized since. In the postcapitalist neoliberal world order, no high horizon of just power –no spiritual conception of sovereignty– remains. The paper argues that the reduction of authority to power, which flows from the absence of any traditional conception of sovereignty, is happening with particular ease in Australia, and that in Australia it is only the Indigenous attempt to have their prior sovereignty –as a spiritual reality– recognized that is pushing back against the collapse of political authority into mere executive power.
