Abstract:
Alternative healing, including spiritual healing, unconventional, traditional/folk, and complementary medical treatments, is an increasingly relevant health-care resource in contemporary health-care systems, and a broad, constantly changing, and heterogeneous field of medical pluralism. Some suggestions for classifying spiritual healing as presented in the academic and gray literature are summarized and discussed. The findings are interpreted in terms of the paradigm of alternative modernities. In the direction of, but also in addition to, this paradigm, magic is introduced as a concept to den

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The article, based on the author’s doctoral research on the life and work of contemporary folk healers with shamanistic knowledge in North East Scotland, explores one key issue when it comes to healing traditions: What kind of healing do these individuals offer? In 1986, anthropologist James Dow, expanding on Daniel Moerman’s idea that all spiritual healers are in fact symbolic healers, suggested that these folk specialists use human communication, ritual, and culture-specific symbols as tools to heal others. Drawing from the author’s ethnographic fieldwork alongside one such spiritua

Abstract:
Residential Schools in Canada were created to assimilate native children into Canadian culture. Native traditions, languages and lifestyles were systematically obliterated via prescribed curriculum, punitive educational practices and rampant physical, emotional, spiritual and sexual abuse inflicted upon them. The lingering effects of such atrocities (alarmingly high suicide rates, alcohol and drug addiction and feelings of negative self-worth) have plagued subsequent generations of Aboriginal people in Canada.

Abstract:
The “Om” mantra is much more than just a sound; it is a “Mahamantra,” whose powerful vibrations hold a deep spiritual and cosmic significance. Its chanting aligns the individual with the universe as a whole and the vibrations it generates influence the mind, body, and soul, paving the way for a state of happiness, bliss, and tranquility. This review article explores the history, significance, and scientific evidence examining the role of “Om” chanting in promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being. Across a synthesis of ancient wisdom and contemporary research, we uncover how “Om” chan

Abstract:
In modern society, there are various discourses about folk healing. According to modern science, especially from the point of view of academic medicine, folk medicine (healing) is a practice that does not correspond to the modern treatment protocol. Folk healing affects only the emotional state of the patient, that is, self-deception. Although, modern academic oriental medicine teaches some traditional medicine practices. From the point of view of Islam, a person who does not have a medical education does not have the right to engage in treatment, especially traditional healing is prohibited.

Abstract:
Bringing together historical and ethnographic materials, this article analyses how members of the Cherubim and Seraphim churches of Nigeria engage with and remember the history of the church through singing hymns, which thus serves as a mode of historical consciousness. In their performance of hymns church members articulate a conception of the relationship between musical practice and spiritual healing in Cherubim and Seraphim worship that draws on a particular conception of the past in order to legitimate certain worship practices. In doing so church members are able to attract God's power a

This chapter argues that tuning up reorganizes the experience of time, enacting a transcendent interruption of musical temporality. In so doing, this irruptive practice reproduces the incarnation of Christ, sonifying the divine’s appearance in the material world.

Abstract This chapter uses Basil of Caesarea as interlocutor for a study of ascetic Christian ambivalence toward medicine. Authors from Origen to Diadochos of Photice differentiated between those who “use” medical healing and those who, out of faith or virtuosity, refuse it. In some stories, like Theodoret of Cyrus’ Religious History or the Apophthegmata Patrum, miraculous healings take place when professional physicians have failed. Basil of Caesarea offers a unique insight into the reason for using or refusing medicine, and the limits of its capacity, in his Fifty-Fifth Long Response in what

They create object-based works to expose the hidden underside of modernity, revealing Maya views and experiences of history, time, and space that precede art historical labels.
