Art and healing politics and spirituality
Delos Greece was destroyed in one day when materialism, power, became imbalanced with spirituality and healing
Art has always dealt with politics
Religion and politics have always been interconnected
In these times, highly materialistic cultures
And highly spiritual cultures are in conflict
The balance is difficult
America was a place for religious freedom
Now is deeply involved in religious tyranny
Many countries are tyrannized by religion or religious ideas
The balance between spirituality to heal
And spirituality to wage war
And materialism without spiritual values is very difficult
The artist healer can help heal this imbalance
By making art to heal from spirit
Ummmm
2000 years ago
Delos Greece was the most spiritual place on earth
The center of art and healing sculpture theater poetry for healing
Then the most materialistic the banks, credit, jealously and fighting
Then it was destroyed in one day by terrorists,,,
It has happened before.
I will not post anymore political messages on this site
Its toooo depressing
But artist/healers need to be aware of the imbalance….
And make art from spirit to heal

ScienceDirect - Seminars in Oncology Nursing : The arts in spiritual care
Objectives:
To review literature pertinent to spirituality of children with cancer and to identify practical strategies for providing care for this dimension in children.Data sources:
Nursing research and literature about pediatric nursing care and spirituality; theoretical formulations of Piaget, Fowler, and Erikson.
Conclusion:
Children diagnosed with cancer have unique spiritual needs that place them at risk for developing spiritual distress. With the diagnosis may come experiences of loss of normalcy, physical stamina, relationships, body image, and future goals. Spiritual care includes interventions that assist children to find meaning and purpose in life, to continue relationships, and to transcend beyond the self.
Implications for nursing practice:
Spiritual care includes caregiver and child assessment and interventions appropriate to the developmental stages of infancy through adolescents. Tables outlining how this can be done by oncology nurses are included.
