Developed and founded in the year 1995, theta healing was first practiced and mastered by a physician and naturopath named Vianna Stibal who has been suffering from the gnawing grasp of cancer. The technique reinforces and facilitates healing in the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental aspects of human lives. The process involves consciously shifting your brain waves from active waves to slower brain waves called theta while connecting with the Creator. We all know that there are basically five types of brain waves that our brain emits namely – alpha, beta, delta, gamma and theta. Each of these brain waves is measured in Hertz or in short Hz. The Hertz represents the actual number of cycles within a second. Beta waves measures in the range of 13 to 40 Hertz and it is emitted during wakefulness of our ordinary and typical day. Theta waves are naturally …show more content…
If you have not mastered yet this form of healing, you can get help from a trained theta practitioner with whom you will discuss any issue or problem that you may have and you want to find solution to. When the issues or problems are identified, the theta healing continues when the practitioner will enter into a deep meditative state or what they call as theta state and draw out positive energy and convert them into healing energy that can alter your body works and start on the healing process. There are four levels by which theta healing can take place namely – genetic beliefs, history beliefs, core beliefs and the soul level. Genetic beliefs are held firmly within your DNA that can be passed down in your ancestry. History beliefs are the combination of your history and your past life while core beliefs are the concepts or ideals that you learned in your childhood. And, the soul level defines who you truly
Ross defines and differentiates between the terms healing and curing. She recognizes the fact that healing and curing are very intertwined and it can be hard to distinguish between the two terms. There are differences between the definitions in scholarly and general settings. She references an ethnographic study of healing versus curing conducted by anthropologists Andrew Strathern and Pamela Stewart in 1999 with native groups in New Guinea. The results of the study looked at how energy used by the different types of tribal healers to either cure or heal a patient. Eastern medicine focuses on how energy interacts with the healing process in connection within the mind. Whereas Western medicine is focused on the mind and the body separately. The practice is considered a holistic approach to finding cures. According to Ross (2013), healing is more a therapeutic process targeting the whole body and specific illness including emotional, mental, and social aspects in the treatment. The act of curing is a pragmatic approach that focuses on removing the problem all together. The life experiences of a person playing into how well certain treatments will heal or cure what is ailing them. These aspects can not be defined with textbook definitions. The interaction that the healing process has with energy is a variable in the success rate. Uncontrolled emotions can have a greater impact on the inside the body than a person can realize. The exploration of energy interaction within the body can be used for greater analysis of health care systems. (21-22). Are Western healthcare facilities purposely “curing” patients just so that they return are few years later? Is Western Medicine built upon a negative feedback loop? The terminolo...
Naikan therapy is based on “restorative”, and “transformative healing” ("Naikan Therapy - Naikan approach," 2016). The “goal” of “restorative healing” is to “return the individuals state
Anderson et al. (2010) viewed the healing setting as shared beliefs between the client and the practitioner about what healing means (p. 148). They state “the setting in which a treatment occurs imbues the process with power and prestige while simultaneously reminding the participants of the predominant cultural beliefs regarding effective care” (p. 148). In this sense, whatever is acceptable treatment within a specific culture is valid so long as patients believe in the treatment. Thus, what happens in...
When comparing the healing philosophy that underpins healing practices of the indigenous tribes it’s evident that all cultures share similar beliefs.
I hope that this author writes more about his successes and failures with this method. I would like to know the statistics associated with this method. Just for my own edification, I would like to find out how often his patients experience God’s presence in these sessions and when they experience God if it is always a peaceful experience. I believe God to be a loving God but I am also aware that there are certain things that anger him and I would be curious to find out whether that aspect ever presents its self. I am very interested in this method and would like to research it to a greater extend. I am also thinking about trying it myself but would like to research it more before I do.
Throughout time, mankind has persistently been seeking ways to maintain their health and to cure those that had not been so fortunate in that task. Just about everything has been experimented with as a cure for some type of illness; whether physical, spiritual or mental. There has always been evidence of spiritual healing and it will continue to be an important part of any healing process, large or small.
This paper will discuss three different religions that a health care provider may care for in the nursing field. It will discuss the spiritual perspective, as well as the critical components of healing, such as through prayer and meditation. The writer will give a brief summary of each religions belief. The three religions that will be discussed in this paper are Native American, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This paper will discuss what is important to people who are cared for of a particular faith by the health care provider who may have an entirely different belief system. The writer will discuss how a patient may view a health care provider who puts aside his or her own beliefs in the interest of the beliefs and practices of the patient that is being cared for. The writer of this paper is of Christian belief and will compare her beliefs of faith and healing with the three previously mentioned religions.
Developing a sense of wholeness and having an established relationship with their creator, can assist the individual with maintaining stability during times of illness, stress, or when a cure is not possible. This can facilitate a source of healing within, which will promote the health of members in the faith based community. “To promote healing, the nurse builds on strengths to encourage the connecting and integrating of the inner spiritual” (Stanhope, Marcia, & Lancaster, 2012, p. 972). Connecting with the inner spiritual is an important aspect because it can assist the individual with making healthier lifestyle choices. By making healthier lifestyle choices, the individual will achieve their optimal health or wellness and this will be beneficial for the individual and faith based
The therapeutic aspect is focussed on the care received, and how it creates a positive outcome for the service user, this includes good communication, building strong relationships, person centred planning and the choices available to the person in receipt of care.

The two videos that I like the most from this class was the ted talk name “America’s native prisoners of war” by Aaron Huey, and the documentary “When Your Hands are tied” by Mia Boccella and Marley Shebala. These two videos brought my attention because in the first video which is the ted talk the author of the video is an outsider of the society that he is trying to represent he did not go through the experience that the native people that he is trying to defend went through. In the documentary when your hands are tied this is a little bit more personal I think because this is a documentary where people from the tribe and people that went through all this obstacles are trying to heal themselves.

One of the oldest and most complete medical systems ever developed is traditional Chinese medicine. The Taoist ideas and the importance of nature have been intertwined with Chinese Medicine from the ancient beginnings of Chinese culture. “'Tao' or way, is the major idea of Taoism: 'Man models himself on earth, earth on heaven, heaven on the way, and the way on that which is naturally so'. Taoism teaches that human beings should be in harmony with nature, that is, with Tao” (Y). Taoism celebrates the forces of nature and recognizes the interplay of yin and yang in all things. The Taoist principles of Yin-Yang, the eight principles, Chi energy, and the five elements are tools used in Chinese medicine to comprehend the web of phenomena as it relates to health and well-being. The philosophic view of the human body is to regard it as a microcosmic reflection of the universe. Therefore healing and medicine should maintain the body’s balance, both internally and as one relates to the external world (Freeman, 314). It is their goal the patient’s body, microcosm, resonates in balance with the universe, the macrocosm. The Taoist notion of integrating mind, body, and spirit for good health is one of the main foundations of Chinese medicine to this day. Acupuncture, Chinese herbology, and Tai Chi are all techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Ivker, Anderson, Trivieri, Morris, and Nelson 479-480).
...locking out the idea. Spirituality also assists in fostering a healthy patient. Many individuals believe in a higher power and therefore we as nurses should encourage that connection when we see it being made. Spiritual connections are a way to give the patient an outlet. They are able to express themselves and rely on something other than physical care and diagnoses. They are about to look to this higher being for encouragement, peace, and healing.
Therapeutic Touch (TT) is the practice of facilitating healing using Universal healing energy. It has been shown to help the sick or hurt, calm the feared and comfort those who need comfort. Because of it's different approach to helping restore health rather than the "normal" taking a pill, TT has not been readily accepted by many medical doctors. In A Doctor's guide To Therapeutic Touch, author Susan wager, M.D. states that Therputic Touch is different then normal medical procedures. "In evaluating any form of healing, weather conventional medicine or unconventional therapies we make basic assumptions about the healing process"(24)
Faith healing is predicated on the belief that certain places or individuals have the power to cure and heal. Meaning, something or someone can cure a disease or heal an injury by means of his / its connection to a Higher Power. Faith healing may involve prayer, a visit to a house of prayer or shrine, or just a strong belief in a Supreme Being.
