Integrate the contributions of science and spirituality as healing agents in your practice
Historically, healthcare workers have distanced themselves from spiritual matters; however, with outcome studies in recent decades demonstrating significant relationships between spirituality and healing, an increased interest in faith, spirituality, and mindfulness has emerged for health services. In fact, with the advent of holistic medicine, spirituality has become a cornerstone in healthcare, as research demonstrates that both spirituality and religion enhance well-being. Advances in neuroscience and quantum mechanics further encourage clinicians to recognize a complementary rather than contradictory relationship between science and religion. Additionally, many clients define themselves spiritually, and their spiritual beliefs affect both physical and emotional health. As a result, today’s healthcare professionals are charged by their discipline to support the spiritual needs of clients. But, how is this to occur? What is spirituality—and how should a healthcare professional guide this dimension in the healing process? How do you understand your professional role to meet your client’s spiritual needs?
Dr. Chirban has conducted interdisciplinary research in medicine, psychology, and religion for over 30 years. He will present evidence-based research, in conjunction with insights from the major spiritual traditions and Great World Religions, to provide a foundation that guides professionals to support and effectively respond to the spiritual needs of their clients. Dr. Chirban will share how recent research concerning the relationship between faith and health may be helpful for treatment of your client. He will also present case studies and group exercises to illustrate the importance of accessing the True Self to promote healing, discover meaning, and find fulfillment. Attendees will gain knowledge in understanding the power of faith, meditation, and mindfulness in the healing process and practical insight that may be directly applied in clinical practice.
