Ivan Yefremov’s The Nur-i-desht Observatory conveys ideas of spirituality and other worldly powers; however, when discovered that the source of renewal and everlasting joy comes not from the temple-esque observatory, but instead from worldly and rational radium, it becomes not a place of serenity and human development, but instead, one of scientific discovery. The battle between a spiritual awakening or a stimulant inducing elation forces a question about the existence of divine encounters,…

children and adolescents focuses on incorporating spiritual and/or religious content into secular models of treatment (Walker, 2012). This allows the therapist to provide the client with the best of worlds, theology and psychology. This combines spirituality and Biblically based theology with an addition of psychological sciences, creating a more complete treatment than either discipline could create on its own (Walker, 2012). If the intervention is spiritually oriented, the stress-and-coping…

not known Search Terms: While attempting to find journal articles and studies about spiritual distress using CINHAL and Cochrane there were a significant amount of articles that appeared.

The active, written, discursive pursuit of the incomprehensible established in Rahner’s writing acts as a form of spirituality. In this way, self-reflexivity grounded in tradition develops as spiritual theology. Evident in Ronald Modras’ Ignatian Humanism: A Dynamic Spirituality for the 21st Century, Patrick Byrne’s “The Passionateness of Being: The Legacy of Bernard Lonergan”, and Bernard Lonergan’s “Method in Theology” and “Healing and Creating in History”, I will focus on how…

Religion organizes or formalizes spirituality. Spirituality is more like an individual practice and has to do with having a sense…

In the article, Seminars in Oncology Nursing, it states “Spiritual integrity is a basic human need, the perceived spirit within each individual as a driving force giving mean to life for that individual.”…

Spiritual Self Assessment For a long time I always lumped spirituality and religion together, and thought they were the same concept with different names. On my road to self growth, I realized that although spirituality contains religion, it is a much broader topic.
