Spiritual Counseling – Suffering Is Medicine for the Soul
Posted by admin in Spiritual Counseling on December 19, 2011
The Next Human will have already transcended the realm of suffering. But in order to get there, suffering is necessary to force you within. When you suffer, the self becomes diminished. Now, I’m not referring to the true Self or the higher Self here. What I’m talking about is the ego or also what the spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle calls the “phantom self.” So suffering in any form is, from a higher perspective, very good medicine for the soul.
Physical illness, for example, makes you feel smaller, no longer in control of your life, helpless. You may become more dependent on others and this may lead to guilt or feelings of worthlessness. But part of learning how to love is also learning how to let others love you — allowing them take care of you. Many people are uncomfortable with this but I can assure you, it is only their pride that keeps them in this state of mind. Spiritual growth includes learning how to receive love as well as learning how to give love.
Some people feel guilty when others do things for them because they feel self-diminished. This is a symptom of deeper feelings of unworthiness. If you don’t feel worthy of someone else’s generosity, then you probably won’t feel comfortable with having to depend on them for their help. The spiritual teacher, Neale Donald Walsch recently admitted, that because of his pride, he was afraid to ask his father for assistance when he lost his job and became homeless. Neale said that his father would have loved to have helped him but that he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by admin in Case Management on December 19, 2011
Although many have heard of nurse case management before, people are often unaware or misinformed on what it actually is and what role it plays in the medical care process. Understanding case management nursing will help you understand not only the processes of medical care as a whole, but also how specific diseases or patient problems are managed differently than others, while still providing the care needed.
Brief Description
In short, case management nursing is a medical cost containment service focused on developing a comprehensive care plan, for a specific client, with a specific set of needs, over a long-term period. Most often case management is needed for patients with long-term diseases or injuries such as AIDS patients, workers compensation patients, and even children with long-term conditions. Most case management nurses specialize in a specific area of treatment. This ensures a comprehensive treatment plan for the patients and a more efficient diagnosis and treatment period. It’s also common for there to be on-site case management nurses at some specific treatment locations and care facilities. Read the rest of this entry »
Adults Returning to Education
Education is essential for every human being. We cannot survive in this world without education. It is in the best interest of the governments of every nation to ensure that at least basic education is provided to all their citizens.
There are several socio-economic reasons that lead many people to discontinue their studies when they are young. Most of them may have had burning desires to continue their education further, but their commitments to their families or their economic status may have been a hindrance to their continuing their studies.
Many of these adults who were dropouts from the schools in their childhood yearn to continue their education at a later and more convenient time. This has lead to the development of several adult education programs worldwide. These adult education programs come as a boon to those adults looking to complete what education they’ve left incomplete.
When the government started these adult education programs, initially there was not a lot of response to such programs from most people. They were very reluctant to join such programs. Read the rest of this entry »
