Soulmate mythologies exist in many traditions and are popular in contemporary spiritual communities and New Age literature. So far, few empirical studies exist of soulmates. Analyzing a convenience sample of 140 responses collected by naturalistic observation on a New Age-themed Facebook group, I explore transpersonal experiences reported by individuals in encounters and relationships with their soulmates. Theoretically, this study draws on spiritual awakening literature in transpersonal psychology, particularly Grof’s varieties of spiritual emergency. Findings show that, besides instant recognition and immediate bonding, respondents report phenomena including synchronicities, telepathy, peak experiences, kundalini awakening, dark nights of the soul, psychological transformation, and merging of opposite archetypes. While spiritual love relations overlap with romantic love, they take many physical forms, including friendships, family relations, and relations with animals.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"11 1","pages":"130 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45124218","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}

Several scales measuring experiences and beliefs relating to EEs have previously been developed, yet most are based exclusively on Western understandings and perspectives, thus introducing linguistic and conceptual biases. The goal of this study was to develop a valid measure of belief in EEs among the Aotearoa New Zealand population – a diverse multicultural society with two prominent ethnic groups, Māori (Indigenous peoples) and Pākehā (New Zealand European). A total of 39 items were developed through an intensive literature review and face-to-face interviews with 15 Māori participants, and subsequently piloted with 325 participants. Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA) produced a three-factor 19-item solution, with excellent internal consistency. Preliminary findings indicate that Māori are significantly more likely to endorse EEs than Pākehā. Given that EEs can be interpreted as either spiritual, anomalous or even pathological according to cultural background, these findings have important implications for how EEs are addressed in the wider society and in mental health settings specifically.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"11 1","pages":"145 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46437551","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}

This paper suggests that Spiritual Intelligence (SQ), the cognitive ability to find higher meaning, value, and purpose in life through transcending rational intelligence may help to birth and reinforce the emerging worldview. The dominant modes of thinking embedded within educational institutions, however, remain within the confines of the mechanistic-materialist model. Nurturing SQ requires multiple ways of knowing, a pedagogy based on engaging the head, heart and accessing our inner experience and intuitive voice. This paper identifies one recent expression of a participative worldview - Archetypal Cosmology - that is not only consistent with post-materialist views of consciousness but can also contribute to cultivating and developing SQ. Archetypal Cosmology is based on an enchanted cosmos in which the microcosm of the psyche is reflected in the macrocosm of the universe through a mysterious yet empirically observable planetary synchronicity. After reviewing the key tenets of SQ and Archetypal Cosmology, the paper: (i) highlights a correspondence between the principles of SQ and the planetary archetypal meanings suggesting that SQ may be a type of Archetypal Intelligence; (ii) illustrates how Archetypal Cosmology provides another mode to cultivate SQ; (iii) suggests that the synthesis of SQ and Archetypal Cosmology, both multi-sensory ways of knowing that include the imaginal, symbolic, mythical and spiritual, may help bring about new modes of thinking to bridge the sciences and humanities.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"11 1","pages":"159 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47911757","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}

In the Global North spiritual care training is gaining momentum and being prioritized, but not so in the Global South. This study seeks to establish what the national spiritual care training needs are in hospice palliative care settings with formalized spiritual care services in a middle-income country in the Global South. This was a three-part study: a quantitative national online survey of hospices in South Africa establishing what their spiritual care training needs were – survey results were collated, analyzed and filtered for key issues and overarching themes; a qualitative study consisting of focus group discussions with hospices in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, who have formalized spiritual care services, with the aim of understanding their spiritual care practices and workforce needs – the discussions were analyzed using thematic analysis; and a qualitative study drawing on the experiences of a cohort of spiritual care workers from an established hospice in Cape Town to understand their training needs in spiritual care and explore their workforce issues. Results revealed a chorused need for the development of a national training curriculum in spiritual care for hospices providing palliative care in South Africa and a chorused recognition that spiritual care services are nuanced and require both formalization and flexibility for spiritual care workers to be led by patient needs. Two elements – finance and human capital – were identified as key barriers to developing a spiritual care curriculum.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"11 1","pages":"102 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20440243.2021.1922257","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43420289","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}
