Introduction In When Blood and Bones Cry Out: Journeys through the soundscape of healing and reconciliation (2010), John Paul Lederach, together with his daughter Angela Jill, study the use of metaphors from sound to foster new pathways of conflict transformation and healing. They ask the question “How do people express and then heal from violations that so destroy the essence of innocence, decency and life itself that the very experience penetrates beyond comprehension and words?” (2010, p. 17)
Haller (1763) injected a clear fluid into the periosteum showing that “the origin of bone is the artery carrying the blood and in it the mineral elements” putting forward the idea that the cardiovascular system was responsible for bone formation. This was supported by the previous work of Hunter (1754) Pritchard (1946) studied what triggers osteogenesis: the same stimulus causing inflammation or mechanical stress. How was the study conducted? Pritchard (1946) suggested osteogenesis is a result of
are alter pieces for the church. The size of these paintings invites its viewers to experience the story in the painting and apply it to themselves. In the painting Christ Healing at the Pool of Bethesda by Carl Bloch, it is portrayed that even in times of darkness and despair Christ is there to help people. In Christ Healing at the Pool of Bethesda Bloch’s use of lighting plays a crucial roll. The painting is shadowed and quite dark, but Christ is light and bright. The men behind Christ who are
Teams are making a positive impact on many businesses and are proven to be very beneficial for accomplishing tasks within the organization more efficiently; however, there must be an awareness of how power plays an integral part when managing or leading these teams.

The enemy entered into your, and now you are sitting in a pile of debris of your shattered life. In the book of Nehemiah in the bible, Nehemiah gets the report of his home Jerusalem is destroyed and what is left of the city is a big pile of rubble. The report of his home being destroyed breaks his heart and he does not want to leave his home in this state. I know when we have been broken feel like what is the use, we will never be the same again. Our lives are ruined, and we don’t have a clue on

They start to believe in you, and believe in their faith; sometimes even referring to you has and angel sent down from heaven to help them through this terrible time that they are going through. In many of the stories that talk about Christ healing, reference were made to that fact that it was faith and belief that healed and not the actual touch that created the miracle. White (2011) “Marvelous will be the transformation wrought in him who by faith opens the door of the heart to the savoir”
Healing into Wholeness: Individuals Transformed into a Collective Heroic Being in Derek Walcott's Omeros "No man is an Island, entire of himself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the Main." Individual heroic deeds and characteristics are the seeds upon which a culture's values are based and these define a culture while also defining each individual's identity. Ancient and modern epics define heroic behavior through mostly male heroic figures, but female characters share an equally
“A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.”-Frederick Douglass When you think of slavery, you may want to consider the effects of an earthquake because that’s how powerful it was. Like many earthquakes, slavery produced various damaging ramifications to everything around it. This included devastation to family structures and in worst cases the loss of human life; and

ignorance. Easy, is to ignore or neglect the true pain patients experience in times of crisis. As caregivers I believe we all want to heal others or we wouldn’t be in the field of nursing, but there are only handfuls willing to be present during the healing process because sharing one’s pain hurts. As a surgical nurse, I find being genuinely present takes hard work on my behalf, not only mentally but emotionally. On a unit where patient’s needs and conditions are changing at astonishing rates, being
Monarda fisctulosa had various uses for the Native Americans. This multipurpose plant may also be known as Bee Balm, horsemint, wild oregano, or many more.

In total, there is approximately fifteen known species currently growing. The parts of the plant can be consumed in a variety of ways. The plant was, and still is, used to
from the traditional style of leadership to a more servant based style. Larry C. Spears (2010) and Kent Keith (2016) note a few characteristics of one who is a servant leader. The characteristics proposed by Spears (2010) are listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to others growth, and community building. These traits will often manifest naturally becoming more enriched as time goes by through experience. Keith (2016) references only
to confront her nightmarish memories. Morrison's compelling scene in chapter 27 of when the thirty community women congregate in front of 124 Bluestone to battle the ghost haunting the house, is carefully constructed to contribute to the theme of healing and structure of the work. As Denver is awaiting transportation for her first day on the job as Bodwin's evening nurse, thirty neighborhood women pray and sing at the edge of the yard after hearing speculations from that the ghost of Sethe's dead
When facing me, what I see is what others may see - a little girl who was once beautiful, energetic and chubby, happy as can be. As I face myself, I see a girl, who is now a woman who suffered pain, rejection and hurt constantly. The innermost core of my existence was embarrassing and unsettling for me. Not facing myself was literally destroying me. One day I realized it is time for liberation and to focus on me. As I looked in the mirror I asked myself the question, are you satisfied with me?
1. If I was applying for a job and was asked what theoretical orientation would guide me in designing and leading a group, I would answer that I would use a technical integration. I would allow myself to use 2 or more different techniques to design and lead the group, without having to believe in the theoretical creation of those techniques. I would use techniques from behavioral, cognitive, and psychodynamic theories but would not side with all the theories. I would more rely on the “special techniques”

main emphases, teaching, preaching, and healing. “The lesson was clear. God is breaking through to the physical world (into the affairs of man) to heal.” (p. 143) Jim Lynn states that out of 3,779 verses in the four Gospels, 727 relate to healing the physical and mental diseases and raising the dead (p. 144). God through Jesus demonstrates His love for us by providing healing for our spirit, soul, and body. In the School of Christ, there is a model for healing today. Yesterday’s Wisdom, Today’s Destiny
Vernon, wishes for a thinned out and broken love to heal. Vernon is deeply hurt about his partner not being who she pretended to be. The pouring of salt mentioned in the second line fits in with this theme because many people revere salt for its healing and preservative properties. Ultimately, Vernon believes that this metaphorical salt can fix and preserve his relationship. A veneer “covers something’s true nature” and in this context veneer refers to the face, or fake persona, the artist’s partner
Symbolic Healing in Beloved Toni Morrison’s powerful novel Beloved is based on the aftermath of slavery and the horrific burden of slavery’s hidden sins. Morrison chooses to depict the characters that were brutalized in the life of slavery as strong-willed and capable of overcoming such trauma. This is made possible through the healing of many significant characters, especially Sethe. Sethe is relieved of her painful agony of escaping Sweet Home as well as dealing with pregnancy with the help
very first baseball, with that very same baseball bat. So with my knees tucked underneath my chin, as these videos flash through my mind, I admire the scars. For me, they are much more than wounds that have faded, they are constant reminders of healing from mistakes and bruises that only make me stronger. I keep that in the back of my mind as I stretch out my legs and pull myself up off the ground, determined to keep going, no matter what gets me down.
