This exploratory study used a descriptive phenomenological approach to interview four counselors with diverse religious beliefs who are engaged in crisis work. The study identified three key themes of spiritual self-care: 1) religious practice, 2) self-reflection, and 3) internalizing religious values professionally. The research suggests the need for increased religious competence among counselors and emphasizes the inclusion of religious competence as a requirement for crisis work deployment. It also highlights the importance of incorporating cultural aspects into counselor self-care education.KEYWORDS: Spiritual self-careMalaysian counselorscrisis workreligious beliefprofessional functioning AcknowledgmentsThis research was partially supported by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, USIM Research Grant, PPPI/FKP/0121/USIM/13121.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors contributionAll authors contributed to the study’s conception and design.

The results of this study based on the bivariate analysis showed a significant positive relationship between spiritual well-being and life satisfaction. Stress also had a significant negative correlation with life satisfaction. Multiple regression showed that spiritual well-being and stress predict life satisfaction with an effective contribution of 25.2%. Adding the communal domain increases the effective contribution to 27.5%, acting as a mediator. Each spiritual well-being domain correlated with life satisfaction. For sociodemography, it was only found that there were differences in life satisfaction level based on the residence zone. The study highlights the need for interventions integrating psychological and spiritual support to improve healthcare workers’ well-being. It also identifies differences in life satisfaction based on residence zones. Therefore, efforts to enhance the well-being of healthcare workers should involve multiple stakeholders.KEYWORDS: Covid-19spiritual well-beingstresslife satisfactionhealthcare workersIndonesia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors’ contributionsAll authors have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (a) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (b) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and (c) final approval of the version to be submitted.Consent to participateInformed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.Availability of data and materialsThe datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Additional informationFundingNo funds, grants, or other support was received.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136211175","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}

The function of social and spiritual capital in transmitting resources for wellbeing is identified, and the theory of spiritual capital developed, in light of the analysis.

Academicians and research scholars from around the world have extracted essentially and practically applicable derivations from several of those collective thoughts symbolically embedded in those images. This paper is a neuropsychiatric-therapy-oriented extraction of the symbolic representation of the relation of the Lord, His dance, and the dwarf devil, Apasmara, in the images of Nataraja. Ayurvedic physicians use this term Apasmara only as a diagnostic term for epilepsy, but semantic understanding of the term Apasmara, which in Sanskrit means forgetfulness or momentary loss of memory or consciousness, informs us that it can be used as a symptom/symptom-complex in various neuropsychiatric conditions. Such semantic understanding in conjunction with theological and clinical studies may help us extract Nataraja’s dance/Tandava (a mixed form of Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi) as a therapeutic tool for promotion of prevention of various neuropsychiatric disorders.KEYWORDS: NatarajadanceBharatanatyamApasmaraforgetfulnessconsciousnessNeurologyPsychiatrymentalculturereligiontheologyspirituality AcknowledgmentsThe authors have no specific persons to acknowledge with regard to this paperDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738791","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}

The phenomenon of synchronicity began to receive attention in the 1950s, thanks to the work of C.G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. The issue of the therapeutic significance of synchronicity has received widespread scholarly attention but its implications for the mental health field are not limited to the therapeutic realm. That is, synchronicity intimates a non-dualistic cosmology that could affect a transformation of the mental health field toward wholeness.KEYWORDS: synchronicitynon-dualistic cosmologyreligion/spiritualitymental health AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to Dr. Keiron Le Grice PhD from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California and to an anonymous reviewer for providing very helpful and constructive comments on earlier drafts of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The specific term that Gebser used in The Ever Present Origin (Gebser, Citation1985) to describe such developments in western thought as quantum physics and Jungian psychology was “aperspectival manifestations” (p. 528/531). Aperperspectival manifestations (or irruptions) are said to afford a glimpse into a higher, transcendent consciousness, one that is anathema to ego-level, dualistic thinking. These glimpses portend a more pervasive shift in consciousness in the future.2. The extra-conceptual, extra-phenomenological quality of unus mundus is brought home in Dorn’s own definition of it as “the potential world of the first day of creation, when nothing was yet in ‘actu;’ i.e., divided into two and many, but was still one” (as cited in Jung, Citation1970, p. 534)., a definition that Jung himself draws on in Mysterium Conjunctionis (Jung, Citation1970). Le Mouël (Citation2021) reflects a similar idea in asserting that the fundamental idea represented by Dorn’s concept of unus mundus—is that of “the transcendental unity of all phenomena” (p. 437) while adding that the idea is not entirely new, and that it “can be found in wisdom traditions from all over the world” (p. 437).","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136280325","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}
