MBM 5635 - Spirituality and Health

This course covers the principles of spiritual practices, ceremony and ritual in healing for Mind-Body Medicine Practitioners. We explore the clinical implications of research on spirituality and examine how the spiritual potential of mind-body medicine has been demonstrated in clinical practice. We consider how practitioners can be therapeutic with clients/patients from disparate belief systems. We study indigenous healing from Native America, Africa, India and the Caribbean as well as pagan approaches to healing. Students learn the emotional, spiritual and physical health benefits of spiritual practices as well as the therapeutic skills necessary to integrate spirituality into clinical practice. Students intellectually study and experientially practice several spiritual techniques and create ritual and ceremony to assist them in becoming effective integrative Mind-Body Medicine practitioners. 3 credit(s)
