Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity Grand Canyon University HLT-310V Abstract This paper compares the philosophy of providing care and healing by four religions; Islam, Native American, Christianity, and Sanatana Dharma the religion of Hindus (Jnaneshvara). These religion’s philosophies explain and define spiritual healing and the critical components towards healing.

Holistic, Anatomilcal benefits and therapeutic applications of Spine twists Asanas As indicated by Rama Jyoti Vernon of the The American Yoga College, “Twisting poses symbolize rovolving the front body, or what is conscious, to the back body, the subconscious, they bring light into darkness and the dark into light, a process essential to yoga.” (EP Notes Asana Lab 4, April 2014) Hollistic This to me implies that twisting poses is highly beneficial for our mind to create more awareness in areas of our body that we don’t normally pay attention to. This process of twisting essentially can enhance our conciousness with respect to the physiology of our body and its surroundings. Spine twist is deeply healing not only in a physiological sense but when viewed hollistically in the perspective of our Kundalini energy, where our Nadis, our energy channel, in particularly the Nadis at the navel centre are further enhanced when in this posture, igniting agnis, the digestive fire, which helps improve the digestive system. Anatomical The idea that our spine is a self supporting structure, capable of remaining without the help of its surrounding muscles, indicate that twists helps create energy in the spine which result in relinquishing (relaxing) control of the surrounding muscles. This will further strengthen the spine, massages its surrounding muscles which will then reduce its obstruction to spinal alignment.

Hawkins on the other hand presented a different yet equally as informative model. His concentric circles model was an excellent way of explaining the human personality. Additionally, the checklist seemed to be a handy tool for ensuring therapeutic progress. Hawkins seemed to place a greater emphasis on how to help a client achieve spiritual and psychological maturity. He explained that all parts of the human function are addressed in the healing journey.
These deities are also represented by wall carvings and hangings, and sculptures of the various deities. In both the Northern and Southern temples, the wall carvings, wall hangings and sculptures tell the viewers the tales of the Gods, both their feats and their defeats, as well as representations of the various aspects of Hindu religious dogma such as the journey to the afterlife, and reincarnation. Kleiner also states that these temples are often joined on an East/West orientation, with rooms designed in a circular pattern. This represents the mandala, an important aspect of Hinduism that represents many different things including the circle of life from birth, death, to rebirth or reincarnation, to the Hindu view of the world as a whole, rather than a collection of elements. (Kleiner, p173) This can be seen not only in the East/West orientation but in the circular design of the temple leading to the inner rooms, shrines and sanctuaries seen in the Vishvanatha Temple.
Either silently, or in our head, was to rub the pain away. Right? The same was true with our ancestors. Healers from ancient times to today have used touch as a tool to relieve pain and stress from both the physical and psychological person.

A Look into Confucianism Anna Fisher REL 133 July 4, 2011 Page Brooks A Look into Confucianism Confucianism as in many eastern religions is about being in touch with the Dao. The Dao practices are to help a person feel the flow of nature, attain spiritual purity, and to live a long life. There is a difference in the Dao in Daoism and the Dao in Confucianism although they are guided by the same basic belief which is about getting in touch with your innermost human, God given beauty; as is expressed in a Confucian classic “He is the sage who naturally and easily embodies the right way” this “way” is the cosmic Dao that permeates the entire universe—the Dao that we see in the everyday life of the noble person also “in its utmost
Yoga Therapy : The Pancha Maya Kosha Model According to yoga philosophy, we are not just our physical body or mind, we are holistic, multi-dimensional beings made up by many different, interactive levels. In the yoga framework, these levels are referred to as the five sheaths of our being, or the Five Koshas. To understand the Five Koshas and the role they play in yoga therapy, it's easiest to think of the Koshas as a series of Russian dolls, each embedded within the others. Starting from the outermost layer and moving towards the core, the Five Koshas proceed from outer to inner in greater and greater levels of subtlety: Annamayakosha-The Physical body. This sheath represents the physical body, the 'regular' gross expression of our body that we can see, touch and feel.
Each form of yoga is diverse, but each path leads to the same unification with the body. The history of yoga is able to be divided into four periods of time. There is Pre-Classical Yoga, Classical Yoga, Post-Classical Yoga, and the Modern Period. Pre-Classical yoga was developed by the Indus-Sarasvati civilization about 5,000 years ago. It started as a religion used by Brahmans.
