What does spiritual malaise mean?
Spiritual malaise, in my opinion, is a form of burnout that robs us of the energy we need to live the life we want. It is a deep sense of discomfort and irritation with daily existence, marked by a lack of self-connection and engagement, rather than a grounded experience or phenomenon. It's less anxious than anxiety and more uncertain than depression. It does not reveal itself or spread quickly; instead, it sits, like smog, destroying the oxygen in the environment. In some ways, it's a modern-day affliction. We barely have enough time to examine the things that make life worthwhile with so many everyday distractions, from cell phones to job competitiveness to family and relationship pressures.
What is the difference between sickness and disease?
Let's talk about the difference between illness and disease. In some medical circles, a distinction is made (for example, in the management of pain) that, in my opinion, should be more publicly understood and shared.
The distinction is reminiscent of Eric Cassell's distinction from the late 1970s: “Disease, then, is something an organ possesses, whereas illness is something a man has.”
In this view, disease, such as infection, damage, toxic exposure, cell degeneration, and so on, is something that has to be healed. Illness is anything that requires attention, such as pain, discomfort, distress, weakness, weariness, and so on.
These two phenomena are obviously not mutually exclusive, and they frequently occur together.
Disease is a condition that must be treated. Illness is something that must be dealt with.
Understanding the differences between illness and disease, as well as how to treat them, can help you see how alternative treatments like EEG biofeedback fit into a comprehensive treatment strategy for disease and illness.
Cardiac disease, for example, is known as the “silent killer” because it can strike without warning. If you are unaware that you have it, there will be no symptoms, yet you may succumb to the condition.
Furthermore, one can be ill without having a diagnosed disease. Chronic pain, for example, happens when a person is in pain but has no structural damage that can be diagnosed.
Biofeedback and BRT can assist treat the condition if this is the case. Importantly, while disease is most often the cause of illness, illness can have an impact on the disease process and even cause it.
What is a good prayer for the sick?
Sick People's Prayer Dear God, we entrust our concerns to you. We entrust our sick to your care, and we humbly request that you heal your servant. Above all, give us the grace to accept your will and recognize that whatever you do is for our sake. Amen.
What happens when you become spiritual?
Feelings of belonging to others and to nature. Overwhelming feelings of gratitude on a regular basis. A proclivity to think and act on the spur of the moment rather than out of dread based on previous experiences. Unmistakable ability to savor each and every moment.
What are the 3 elements of spirituality?
In their eternal wisdom, all shamans, healers, sages, and wisdom keepers of all centuries, continents, and peoples claim that human spirituality is made up of three aspects: connections, values, and life purpose. These three components are so strongly linked that it may be difficult to tell them apart. Take a minute to ponder on each facet of human spirituality to determine the state of your spiritual well-being if this is possible. This will be a three-part monthly series, starting with relationships.
Internal (your domestic policy)how you deal with yourself, how you nurture the relationship with yourself and your higher selfand external (your foreign policy)how you relate, support, and interact with those people (and all living entities) in your environmentare the two categories of relationships.
What criteria would you use to assess your internal relationship, and what steps could you take to improve it?
How would you assess your external relationships, shifting from the perspective of domestic policy to international policy?
