...September 5th, 2014 What is Psychosocial Health? SSPE 201 B HEALTH TOPIC Psychosocial health is divided into four areas. The areas are mental health, emotional health, spiritual health and social health of an individual. The mental health is the thinking or rational part of our health. Mentally healthy people don’t have problems adapting to changes, they can easily solve problems and can take care of their responsibilities without having any problems. A mentally healthy person can also connect certain life events with feelings and respond sufficiently. Mental health can also be known as intellectual health. If a person is mentally unhealthy, they can suffer from mental illnesses such as Anxiety disorders, mood disorders or personality disorders. The feeling part of our health is known as the emotional health. Emotions are everyday feelings like love, hate, anger or sadness. People who can appropriately react to their emotions are considered as emotionally healthy. Emotions are influenced by the surroundings, current events and mental and physically well-being. Emotional unhealthy people are more likely to over react by expressing their feelings than emotional healthy people. Your social and intellectual health is dependent upon your emotional health. For example, if you are sad and you don’t want to do anything all day your social health may decline. Emotional trauma can affect the way of thinking or acting. The communication with others is called the social health...

...Finding Inner Peace John Frazier Finding inner peace is easier than alot of people think it is. In a few simple steps I can explain how to begin this process. Of couse you will not become a spokes person for peace over night. However with time you will find yourself having a very relaxed way of thinking and living. Peace comes from within do not seek it without. The most critcal part of this journey is being able to love yourself 100%. Though this sounds easy, its not when you have a society that has made an image of what they consider a perfect male or perfect female. God has made every human on this earth have distintive features. And in his eyes they are all beautiful. If you are one who deals with self esteam issues, every morning look yourself in the mirror and say God does not make mistakes. Our first and last love is self love. The second step is accept what it is. There is only so much that we have control over. If we are presented with a situation that we can not change or affect then just let it be. "It is what it is" is something i like to say. For example say your going to be late for work becasue there is traffic and there is only one route to your job, instead of getting stressed out about being late for work understand that you can not physically pick up the cars and move them so just let it be. Obviously there is nothing you can do about traffic so don't think about it just wake up alittle earlier the next day. If you practice this on small situations...

...Shabbat Shalom Everybody. This week’s Torah portion is from the book of Deuteronomy and it is called Ki Tavo. Like most other readings in Deuteronomy, this Torah portion contain various laws and regulations for how the Jewish people should show their appreciation for God, how to give to charity, and how they have developed during a long trek through the desert. While these rules that are imparted to the Jewish people are important, I think this Torah portion holds value in different ways. In this portion, Moses addresses the Jewish people and reminds them that they are God’s chosen people and that they must show their appreciation for him. By bring God gifts such as fruits and sacrifices, it shows that the Jewish people are thankful for being chosen and promise to live by Gods rules. Moses also...

...Spiritual healing within hospital environment “America’s hospitals have come under attack with shortage of nurses, healthcare providers increased number of patients seen daily: patients feel the impact with shorter physician visits or less attention by nurse, social workers and other healthcare providers. While healthcare providers may experience burn out, patients feeling alienated” (Puchalski& McSkimming,2006) . This has created a task driven work environment leaving out the emotional and spiritual aspect of the patient. At times placing the patient at risk, more and more often we are seeing sicker patient being discharged home earlier. With increased re admittance rates, adding increased burden on family and health system. This cycle causes frustration and increased nurse burn out, decreased compassion for patients, with in the health care system. There is obvious need to reassess the current hospital model and incorporating and more healing model “which would reintegrate spiritual awareness onto the role of each health care provider”(Dunn,2010) Hospital Environment Current hospital environment is cold sterile, nosey and not conducive to patient being able to rest. Upon admittance the patient many emotions including fear, anxiety, hopeless. If there is also a task driven work environment among staff that only contributes to those feeling of being lost and only being a patient number. It becomes the nurse’s responsibility to promote a healing unseen environment...

...and it is prohibited to work on that day abong Jewish community. The Lord rested, so should everyone else. It lasts from sundown on Friday evening through nightfall on Saturday night. The origin of this day can be traced back to the time when Earth was created in 6 days and on the 7th day the Lord rested according to Torah (Exodus 31:15-16). The first thing that I have noticed were the candles that were burning. Later, we were informed that the whole dinner begins when it gets dark outside, so the candles are lit to provide the light as a tradition from the past. At least 2 candles should be lit no later than 18 minutes before sundown. The whole dinner began with a song “Shalom Aleichem.” As far as I understood, it is there to welcome the visitors and bless the whole dinner. In Hebrew, the phrase “Shalom Aleichem” is a greeting and translated as "peace be upon you." After the song, we took the grape juice from the table with the dominant hand and held it up while reading the blessings to bless the grape juice and the whole dinner. As soon we finished the blessings, we had to wash our hands, so we can approach food with clean hands. As a side note, I noticed that most of the Jewish students were dressed nicely. It shows that they were carefully preparing for this dinner. Traditionally, there is a need to remove accessories off hands, so there is nothing obstructing the water and the whole cleaning process. We had to pick up some water from one bowl and pour it 3 times on the...

...------------------------------------------------- Wolterstorff’s Reflections in Lament For A Son Carla Soto Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V-0191 Spirituality In Healthcare April 26, 2015 During this paper, I will be analyzing the book Lament For A Son by Nicholas Wolterstorff, where the author interprets his traumatic recollection of the death of his 25 year-old son during a climbing accident, and how he was able to appease his grief based on his faith in God; therefore, I will be identifying the five stages of grief. The five stages include how the author finds joy after his loss, the meaning of death in the light of the Christian narrative, and how the hope of resurrection play a role in comforting the author. According to Elisabeth Kubler Ross, there are five stages of grief: denial and/or isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. These five stages of grief are associated in direct correlation with mourning as a response of a painful event such as loss of a loved one, terminal illness or the end of a relationship. During the bereavement process, we experience the five stages of normal grief, which may not necessarily be in order, or for a specific length. (5 Stages of Loss and Grief, 2015). For some that have experience death, we know that we may not experience it the same way. There are individuals that can be open to expressing their emotions; whereas, others may not be able to express their feelings at all. It’s important...

...An Outside Perspective of Messianic Judaism John W. Stroud HUM/130 November 28, 2010 Terry Barnes An Outside Perspective of Messianic Judaism Many people are born and raised in a religion without ever feeling complete or whole. There are those born and raised Jewish but never felt Judaism provided the answers for which they sought. These unsatisfied Jews have often looked to other religions for their answers. Many of those answers have been found in a form of Judaism that is often looked down upon by the more traditional Jews. This Messianic Judaism combines the core beliefs of Christianity with the traditional Jewish lifestyle. This combination of two distinct religions has shown the world that a religion can allow its members to maintain their traditional lifestyle while providing them with the spiritual nourishment they long for. Messianic Judaism Messianic Judaism is a branch of Judaism that believes Yeshua or Jesus was the Son of God and the Messiah as foretold by the prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. Messianic Judaism also believes that the Bible, which consists of the Tenach or Holy Scriptures and the B’rit Hadasha or New Covenant, is the only infallible and authoritative word of God (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations, 2008). This belief includes that the Bible comes from divine inspiration and its teachings are the final authority in matters of faith and how to practice that faith (International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues...

...Frank Greco Site Visit Dr.Elder March 26th, 2014 Congregation B’nai Israel Address: 2710 Park Avenue Bridgeport, CT 06604 Phone: 203-336-1858 Date: March 21st, 2014 Pre-Oneg 5:30p.m Kabbalat Shabbat 6:00p.m On Friday march 21st, my classmates and I went to go to a Jewish Ceremony. When we first arrived, James Prosnit, a very welcoming Rabbi met us and introduced us to this new and unfamiliar place. A Rabbi is similar to a priest in the Catholic Church; Rabbi’s are teachers of the Jewish religion whereas priests teach and preach about the Catholic religion, so this was somewhat familiar to me. After meeting James Prosnit, we were given a tour of the sanctuary. After that we made our way to the pre service gathering, which we soon learned was called a Pre-oneg. When the tour guide said we were going into a Pre-Oneg, at first I did not know what to expect. I soon learned that a Pre-Oneg is a festive and casual gathering that precedes the Shabbat service. The tour guide said that this gathering gives people the opportunity to have a social connection with each other while enjoying food and beverages. We learned that usually only wines and cheeses are served at a Pre-Oneg, but sometimes there are other types of refreshments. In the Pre-Oneg we were greeted by a lot of people. They seemed very interested about what we do and why we were there, asking us questions like where we attend school and what our majors are. This made us feel even more welcome. Next, James Prosnit...

According to a theological dictionary, it is simply the study of God and His creation. After the fall of Lucifer and his angels and then the fall of mankind, God had a plan in motion for Satan demise and the salvation of man. Theology, etymologically comes two Greek words theos (God) and logos (reason or speech), meaning a rational Study of God.1 The theology of missions is a disciplined study of the nature of God, creation of the world, the church, and the interactions of these three.2 Having an interest in missions came from being in a missions minded church. We have had many “go out” from our parish over the years. This paper is an attempt to show how mission theology relates to Scripture and the nature of God, using...

Jonah was a minister. This book is about a mission partaken by Jonah. Jonah’s mission was to bring God’s warning of impending judgement to the pagan world, but he refused to go to Nineveh and brings the pagan sailors on the ship he is sailing on with him into jeopardy. The sailors on the ship Jonah was traveling on came from various regions and worshipped pagan gods. The captain and his crew decided to cast lots to find the person who was causing all the trouble and Jonah was exposed by God. Ironically, Jonah is willing to jump into the sea to save the pagan sailors yet has trouble with God wanting to save the people in Nineveh. The sailors realize that the God of Israel is in control at that moment. God caused the storm and He calmed the storm. Again, irony here is that Jonah is showing no fear to God and yet the pagan sailors are in fear of God. Jonah did...

...For this assignment I decided to learn more about Judaism, and witness a Shabbat Sermon. I decided to attend the Temple Israel. This synagogue is located in Orlando and was created in 1954. It was originally apart of Ohev Shalom but it separated from it “due to differences at the time mainly concerning the role of women and other issues of tradition,” (Neely, Email). The Temple Israel is proud to be a modern congregation that still holds true to Jewish tradition. It`s mission is to bring “Jewish people together to form a spiritual community that enriches the lives of each individual and the community and the broader world,” (Neely, Email). Based off of the history and mission of Temple Israel, I believe it follows Reformative Judaism. This branch of Judaism is one that is more modern and accepting compared to Orthodox Judaism....

...Dr. Na Religion 207 Dec 11, 2015 Stilling of the Storm The canonical gospels are a result of the spreading of the news of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Therefore, they must be studied when interested in gathering an account of Jesus’ life and death. The synoptic gospels include the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is assumed that the author of the Gospel According to Mark wrote his gospel first and therefore becomes a blueprint for the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Therefore the synoptic gospels have similar events, structure, and timeframes. One major event in all three synoptic gospels is the story of the stilling of the storm. Assuming markan priority, this paper will discuss the Gospel According to Mark’s command that Jesus uses to rebuke the wind and sea: “Peace! Be still!” The stilling of the storm is a triple tradition event, meaning it is found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This event is contained in the passages of Mark 4:35-41, Matt 8:23-27, and Luke 8:22-25. Some similarities throughout this particular event are very evident and can be shown through the main course of events in the pericope. The first similarity is all gospels have Jesus asleep in the boat during a storm. Another similarity is that Jesus rebukes the natural elements and comments on the disciples’ lack of faith. Another important similarity is that the disciples question the authority of Jesus when the wind and water obey him. These three similarities lay out the foundation...

...The Letters of Paul Apostle Paul is very unique with his writings to the people. Paul made his letters real as they could get and they dealt with life and death issues. The letter structure of was highly important part of the ancient letter, as compared to the Hellenistic letter with those in Paul’s letter to Philemon. The whole anatomy of Paul’s letters was special because they all had structure. Paul has several sections in his letters: salutation, thanksgiving, the body, the closing, and the conclusion. The salutation was the most stable elements during the ancient period. The form is rather precise unlike today were we use the sender and recipient, as well as a greeting in the letter. I saw how Paul molds us in his letter to Philemon. During the time of this letter, Paul was in prison, he was addressing the master of Onesimus, which was a runaway slave who has sought refuge with Paul. Meanwhile, Onesimus was converted this set the stage for this letter. In this letter, Paul reminded Philemon that his apostolic mission gave him a prior claim on Onesimus. Paul treated Onesimus as if he was his own brother. Earlier during the beginning of the salutation, Paul identifies himself as a “prisoner for Christ Jesus.” Thus, this condition keys around Paul’s plea for leniency to Onesimus surfaces in the beginning of the letter. In Romans, we see how Paul’s original version of the conservative letter opening. His writings were to the church, one that he never been to before nor...

Later, on October 8, he hid in some long grass near a telephone pole outside of the Brith Shalom in Richmond Heights, Missouri, and opened fire on a group of worshipers, killing one and injuring two.
