{"title":"Supporting spiritual health in dementia using the WELLHEAD Toolkit: A ‘story-tale’ from a person with logopenic aphasia","authors":"K. Mumby","doi":"10.1080/20440243.2023.2187968","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20440243.2023.2187968","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Little is known about the spirituality of people with logopenic aphasia (language-led dementia), including assessment and support. This article presents a single case study from a case series of ten people with various aphasia-types and different religious backgrounds who were recruited after discharge from speech and language therapy (SLT). Based on work with ‘Mr Grey’, it illustrates the use of the ‘WELLHEAD Toolkit’ for assessing and supporting spiritual health. A group of people with aphasia and diverse backgrounds co-produced the resources and steered the research. The Toolkit provides communication support and structure for eliciting interviews about ‘meaning and purpose’ in life. It enables religiously neutral non-judgmental listening and facilitates reflection using Picture and Word Resources, incorporating self-scores, an agreed summary, and goal-setting. Sessions were videoed along with a feedback interview. Participants’ reflections, measures, and verification were integral to the findings from the case series. Findings were analysed via systematic interpretive thematic analysis, verified by an independent researcher. Key themes in Mr Grey’s case are presented in narrative form to respect his own words, interpreted and verified for meaning, within his search for synthesis of his fragmented story. His story-telling brought him catharsis concerning relationships, religious beliefs and sense of self, whilst helping him to frame future goals. Follow-up confirmed the value of enabling chaplaincy referral as a result of the interviews. This helped him towards resolving historical grief before further language deterioration. Limitations and potential future applications of the WELLHEAD Toolkit are discussed.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"13 1","pages":"46 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44242880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sufis encourage song and chant, dance and movement, and other demonstrative exhibitions of faith, as palpable demonstrations of ecstatic love and spiritual joy in communion with the Divine. One of the most notable Sufis in the history of Islam is Jalaluddin Rumi (CE 1207–1273) – or, simply, Rumi – who founded a Sufi order known popularly as the Whirling Dervishes. The dervishes adhere to a meditative practice that Rumi encouraged as part of the sema/sama, the ‘dance’ of whirling, or turning. Sufi turning is a devotional expression of dhikr, the remembrance and contemplation of God. This essay discusses how the entranced spinning of the deliberately structured Sufi body (head, hands, arms, torso) can transform a secular/profane place into a space of mystical encounter with the Divine as the dervish whirls in continuous circles around the invisible axis that binds the Sufi to Allah. The essay will draw on the poetry and prose of Rumi to illustrate the transformation of indeterminate place to sanctified space.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"12 1","pages":"108 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47997467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Time, tides, and finding the still point in the turning world","authors":"Cheryl Hunt","doi":"10.1080/20440243.2022.2139127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20440243.2022.2139127","url":null,"abstract":"Reflections. One of my favourite holiday destinations is the Isles of Scilly, a small archipelago 28 miles off the southern tip of Cornwall in the far southwest of the UK. There are five inhabited islands and numerous rocky islets. It is believed that they all once formed part of Ennor (Old Cornish for ‘Great Island’) which became partially submerged by rising sea levels towards the end of the Bronze Age (c.400 CE). On a few occasions each year when the spring tides create very low water levels, the channel between two of the islands becomes dry enough to cross between them on foot. Making such a crossing is an adventure into part of the ancient landscape of Ennor before it became fragmented. Weather permitting, on one day in spring and another in autumn when the water is at its very lowest the adventure has been celebrated in recent years with a ‘pop-up’ mini-festival on the long sandbar in the middle of the crossing. Usually under 20 feet of seawater, the bar becomes the temporary home of the aptly-named ‘Sand Bar’ serving local wines and other drinks; stalls selling island produce; musicians; performers – and dozens of people enjoying an event that must start and finish within only a couple of hours. By mid-afternoon, the Atlantic tide will have risen to reclaim the old landscape again. I was thinking about the islands and the passage of time when I began to draft this Editorial because it was there, in 2008, that I drafted the initial proposal for a yet-to-be-named journal which would provide an ‘interdisciplinary, inter-professional forum’ where those engaged in the study and practices of spirituality could share and debate the many issues and insights which were then largely being generated and discussed in separate ‘silos’. The journal proposal, together with preparations for a conference, were integral parts of ongoing plans to create the British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS). Since that time, BASS has become the International Network for the Study of Spirituality (INSS), its seventh biennial international conference will take place in 2023, and the journal proposal resulted in what you are now reading: the Journal for the Study of Spirituality (JSS), currently in its twelfth year of publication. In several previous Editorials, I have recounted some of the anecdotes associated with getting the proposal accepted, choosing a title for the journal, and the subsequent ups and downs, via five different publishing companies, of its progress to date. Following my usual summary of the contents of this issue, I will outline some new developments which will be taking place in relation to the journal in 2023 – and conclude with a final anecdote. When writing an Editorial, I have sometimes commented on contemporary events with which it has coincided. As I began this one, my thoughts about the passage of time were profoundly affected by the sad news on 8 September that Queen Elizabeth II had died. Until her state funeral took place ","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"12 1","pages":"101 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46997330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It criticizes the core assumptions of mainstream economics – namely, the existence of ‘Homo Oeconomicus’ and the goals of profit maximization, economic efficiency, and economic growth; and shows that these goals lead to an economy that is not only unhealthy for people but is making the planet unsustainable. The paper makes a case for the development of a spiritually informed economics. It concludes that by helping to create ecological and human economic practices and policies, spiritually informed economics can support the flourishing of life on Earth (both human and non-human, present and future).","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"12 1","pages":"131 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44348126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
