By examining how yoga practices foster physical well-being, mental balance, and emotional stability, this study highlights the interconnectedness of these elements in promoting overall health. It emphasizes yoga's role in fostering resilience, enhancing cognitive function, and improving emotional regulation, ultimately contributing to a holistic sense of vitality and well-being. The findings suggest that integrating yoga into daily routines can profoundly impact individuals' lives, aligning their physical, mental, and emotional energies for optimal functioning and harmony.

ASSOCIATION OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL ROLE STRESS: A STUDY AMONG POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS

The study aims to evaluate the association of Emotional Intelligence (EI) with Organizational Role Stress (ORS) among post-graduate students of public health and healthcare management at various institutes in India. Evidence indicates a depletion and exhaustion of mental and physical energies due to the numerous demands on both post-graduate students personal and professional fronts. Long-term exposure to such demands has been shown to have dysfunctional consequences on students, which can cause stress in their roles. Individuals with higher emotional Intelligence have been perceived to use stress-coping mechanisms effectively.A total of 157 students in post-graduate degree programs in public health and healthcare management were surveyed for data. The 50-item Organizational Role Stress scale and 33-item emotional intelligence scale were used to collect the required data. The findings demonstrate an insignificant correlation between organizational stress and emotional Intelligence. However, among the ten role stressors, inter-role distance and role erosion exhibit a significant positive correlation with emotional Intelligence.

Syzygy of Sexual Polarities: A Juginan Psychological Elucidation of Ode to Grecian Urn

This study examines the psychological symbolism in Keatsian poetry using analytical psychology. John Keats ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ is steeped in psychological, symbolic, and analytical perspectives, which are essential components of Jungian psychology/archetypal analysis. The current study aims to scrutinize the psychological and symbolic perspectives of Keats’s poem to understand the depth of psychic integration and archetypes in the text. This study analyzes ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ by deploying Carl Jung’s concepts of syzygy or complementation of psychic energies of anima in the males and animus in the females. The term syzygy signifies a union of opposites like anima and animus and the conscious or collective unconscious. This process of complementation or complementary opposite of integration in the ode has symbolic interaction between the conscious male persona (animus) and the collective unconscious female persona (anima). Based on a close reading of the poem from a Jungian perspective, the current study provides a psychological understanding of poetic creation by underlying the conscious acts and thinking of the author as psychic interactions. This study aims to understand the symbolic representation of opposing psychic energies in Keatsian poetry. Moreover, the study analyzes the interpretation and the balance of male and female energies in Keats' poetry mean for the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind, and its effect on the poetic creativity and inner peace of the author. Thereby, the study elaborated that Keatsian poetry is a true depiction of Jungian psychology.

Psychological Stability from The Perspective of Islamic Law

Psychological stability is a necessary part in building a healthy person and a moderate personality. The goal of all heavenly religions is to achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter. Balance between the interests and the evils, and managing himself, his spirit and his dignity in the costs, duties and prohibitions that God Almighty has set as a test for him in this world. Whenever a person settles down and feels it, and is reassured about the law and the cost of God, he finds the pleasure of commitment and drawing closer to God Almighty, and he controls his whims and motives and directs them to the pleasure of the Lord Almighty. A person can benefit from his intellectual, mental and financial energies. The research is an attempt to demystify the importance of psychological stability in Islamic law in order to preserve religion from heresies, the mind from corruption, the soul from destruction, money from loss, honor and lineage from perversion.

Anti-Racist Racism: Trauma, Traumatism, Traumatophilia.

A particular epistemology of trauma now wields an outsized hold over psychoanalysis. Trauma, we are trained to think, has destructive effects whose ghostly lingerings can, nevertheless, be durably turned into ancestors. But what if we got this wrong? What if trauma is not a piece of shrapnel to be removed but a cause of becoming? And what if the tenet that trauma may be worked through is but a manifestation of a disciplinary spell?Introduction of the concept of traumatophobia invites readers to rethink the relationship of psychoanalysis to healing or repair, and to become attentive, instead, to what subjects do with trauma (traumatophilia). Traumatophilia involves a revivification of trauma, and that is easily confused with compulsive repetition or destructiveness. Traumatophobia, however, also courts psychic energies that can be psychically transformative. For transformation to be possible, however, we need to be working with a notion of psychic life that can be transformed. Careful consideration of a controversial sexual fetish (race play) shows how belated efforts of psychoanalysis to attend to racial trauma have generated new forms of racism: treating the Black unconscious not as a transformative and dynamic force but as housing only repressed representational contents. Considering race play instead through traumatophilia allows a race player's actions to be mined not for unconscious motives or for what past traumata, symbolized or unformulated, those motives carry, but to track their effects. Traumatophilic repetitions, it is argued, deliver traumatisms that may (or may not) be transformational. Questions of ethics are thus central to this paper's thinking, which is grounded in queer of color critique, Black feminisms, and Laplanchean metapsychology. Because traumatophobia preserves the world order (and thus white logics), readers are urged to consider the metapsychology of traumatophilia.

The Effect of the Rapid Learning Method in Developing Creative Thinking Among Second-Grade Students in the Middle School in the Subject of History

The current research aims to examine the effect of the rapid learning method in developing creative thinking among second-grade female students in the subject of history. Thus, the researcher has adopted an experimental design of two groups to suit the nature of the research. The sample of the study consists of (36) randomly selected students from Al-Shafaq Secondary School for Women, which are divided randomly into two groups. The first group represents the experimental; it includes (31) students who studied the subject of history using the quick learning method. The second group, on the other hand, is the control group, which consists of (32) students, who studied the same subject using the traditional way. Before starting with the experiment, the researcher was keen to ensure that the students of the two research groups are statistically equal in a number of variables that are believed to have an effect on the safety of the experiment. Such variables involve: (the chronological age of the students calculated in months, intelligence, a pre-test for creative thinking, the academic level of the parents). To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher must use Tor Anas’ test that was Arabized by Sayed Khairallah to measure the creative thinking, and employ it for the contents of the Arab-Islamic history book. Accordingly, the researcher constructed (10) testing items for each of the following skills (fluency, flexibility, originality, and sensitivity to problems) to have a total of (40) items. Moreover, the performance of the students has been evaluated by identifying and treating their weak points to improve their level of knowledge, meeting as a result the already set objective and employing the students’ mental energies in creating a motivating atmosphere for creative thinking. The study has finally concluded that the quick learning strategy requires more effort and skill on the part of the teacher than when using the usual methods of teaching. It has further made the students more motivated, more willing to participate in the history lessons, and this has thus developed their creative thinking.

The Relevance of Thomas Berry for 21st Century Catholicity

The ecological crisis continues to be identified as the most significant social breakdown in the world. One of the important foundational influences on the development of an adequate religious response is the thought of cultural historian Thomas Berry. He affirmed the critical role that the world’s religions have in developing a spirituality that supports the sacrifices, visions, and dreams needed to live in an integral way with the Earth’s community of life. Such a spirituality provides the psychic energies we need to adequately respond to the crisis. The author of this article argues that Berry’s thoughts continue to be relevant, especially in the context of the emergence of a renewed sense of Catholicity. This article presents an overview of the breadth and depth of the study that led to Berry’s articulation of a new human orientation needed to reverse the path of devastation. It offers Berry’s insights into the reasons why it is difficult for Christianity to effectively respond to the present crisis and calls for a new Catholicity that functions out of the comprehensive context of an evolutionary and emergent universe.

The pandemic as a developmental risk

AbstractIn this study, we explore the influence of the pandemic on the intergenerational dialogue. Our thesis is that the images of totally dependent people in intensive care units wrestling with death remind us of earliest experiences in the first year of life. The “embodied memories” of the ubiquitous basic human experience of existential dependence and helplessness remain in the unconscious for a lifetime and are reactivated in situations of diffuse life threat and death. In order not to be flooded by the enacted death anxieties, relatively primitive defense mechanisms such as denial, splitting, omnipotent negation, and projection, may be mobilized. It takes a great psychic effort to recognize such regressive mental processes and to counteract them in order to deal constructively with the pandemic on a mature mental level. The pandemic thus absorbs—consciously and unconsciously—a large part of our psychic energies. This also may have an impact on the empathic dialog between adults and adolescents. We discuss how the pandemic puts a particularly heavy burden on the demanding and disturbance‐prone developmental and identity formation processes of adolescence. In addition, there is a danger that the family and nonfamily adult caregivers will not be able to provide the adolescent with enough understanding and support for this challenge, as they themselves are hindered and limited in their ability to empathize by the constant confrontation with unbearable affects and threats during the pandemic. This makes it more difficult for parents and caregivers to deal with ambivalences, which always characterize the dialog between generations. Thus, the pandemic increases the likelihood that, especially for those growing up who have already felt the downside of life in childhood, their adolescence will now become a “second hazard” rather than a second chance.

LEADING WITH AN ADVENTURER'S MINDSET

AbstractThis article posits that leaders who embrace an adventurer's mindset will excel in their craft and beyond. It draws lessons on leadership from remarkable women and men profiled in the authors' new book, Wild Success: 7 Key Lessons Business Leaders Can Learn from Extreme Adventurers. The article is built around seven lessons drawn from these leadership examples: cognitive reappraisal: a new perspective; grit: the passion to prevail; growth mindset: sitting still means going backwards; purpose: finding your spark; innovation: big dreams and big struggles; resilience: bouncing forward; and personal sustainability: building balance. Practical tips and strategies are provided within each lesson; for instance, within cognitive reappraisal: start small + practice: first, recognize and acknowledge your emotional reaction to the setback. Within growth mindset: looking for opportunities: pivoting into new adventures can spark new growth. Within personal sustainability: fueling your energies: balancing and renewing your physical, mental, emotional, and relationship energies so you have more to give as a leader. Adventurers actively seek out challenges to test themselves and to transcend the trials of everyday life, but in undertaking those adventures they unconsciously better equip themselves to deal with those very everyday trials.

Professional Competencies and Thinking Methods among High School Teachers in Iraq

The importance of the current research is that it is the result of what is called for studies at the present time is the development of the human mind in all its aspects, which comes through the use of thinking methods and the development of professional competencies, which encourages teachers to use their mental abilities and energies and employ the brain to serve the educational process at the present time. Objective: is to learn the professional competencies and thinking methods of secondary school teachers in Iraq. The sample consisted of (60) teachers and schools distributed among 30 males and 30 females, to achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used the professional competency scale (lesson planning, implementation and classroom management, educational teaching aids, evaluation), the highest level of professional competencies for teachers was (implementation and classroom management), which reached a relative weight (35.301) and the lowest level is (teaching aids), which reached a relative weight (19.009). The scale of thinking methods was also used, the realistic thinking method was the highest method for teachers with its relative weight of (22.280) and the lowest method of thinking among teachers was the ideal with a relative weight of (17.275).

Impact of an external energy on Staphylococcus epidermis [ATCC –13518] in relation to antibiotic susceptibility and biochemical reactions – An experimental study

While spiritual and mental energies are known to man, their impact has never been scientifically measurable in the material world and they remain outside the domain of science. The present experiment on Staphylococcus epidermis [ATCC –13518], validate the effects of such energy transmitted through a person, Mahendra Trivedi, which has produced an impact measurable in scientifically rigorous manner.

Psychoanalysis as a natural science: Reconsidering Freud's “scientistic self-misunderstanding”

This paper centres on Habermas's judgement that when Freud assesses psychoanalysis as a natural science, this constitutes a scientific self-misunderstanding. The author discusses Brenner's conviction that Freud's view is not a misunderstanding but is true for psychoanalysis and rejects his conclusion. In the author's view, Freud's assessment of psychoanalysis must be seen as a misunderstanding whose basis lies in its subject. Unconscious figures assert themselves under the repetition compulsion in the same manner as natural laws, each of which asserts itself beyond individual consciousness. It was the discovery of the unconscious that led Freud to conceive of psychoanalysis as a natural science and it seems that this conception is rooted in the structural identity between unconscious and natural processes. Freud's misunderstanding of pseudo-nature as nature seems to be indebted to his energy concept. As it is impossible to deduce psychic energies and their distribution by means of the psychoanalytic method, this being dependent on language, the author recommends replacing the economic metapsychological viewpoint by an affective one. The author goes on further to discuss the object of psychoanalytic investigation, the psychoanalytic method used to acquire knowledge, and the function held by metapsychology.

إدارة شكاوى التربويات في وزارة التربية والتعليم

This research study aimed to highlight the female educationists’ complaints at Ministry of Education and to identify the reasons behind such complaints. It also aimed to investigate the factors affecting solving their problems and propose some mechanisms to the concerned authorities who should take actions by supporting female educationists as this will lead to improve their performance and the performance of the Ministry of Education. The researchers of this study adopted the qualitative and quantitative method to achieve the objectives of the study. The researchers collected and analyzed data in an inductive method with the focus on the meanings and frequencies of responses raised by the complainants. The data gathering tool used was in–depth interviews with the female teachers. The targeted group of female teachers was purposively selected based on different job levels, positions, and the result of their complaints (one complaint has been solved, and the second has not been solved, while the third complaint has been suspended, and the last has been pending and not solved). The researchers of this study have come up with certain findings and recommendations and also suggestions to address female educationists’ complaints and proposed a mechanism for accelerating solutions so as to empower women in their jobs and not to dissipate their mental and physical capacity and energies.

The utilization of mental maps in enhancing creativity in the design process of printed upholstery fabrics

When the century began to use the mind, it was realized that the creative mind is the mind that uses all its parts, which led to the emergence of a tendency to form an awareness that the creative human potential is greater than we previously thought. When we use the skills of one hemisphere of the brain, the amount of creativity will be negligible compared to what we will reach when using both hemispheres. The creative potential is unlimited. Hence, the scientist "Tony Buzan" developed what is known as the mental map, which is an expressive method for ideas and plans, rather than just words, where branches, pictures and colors are used to express the idea. It relies on visual memory in a diagram that is easy to review and remember with easy rules and instructions. This method is the actual method that the human mind uses to think.Whereas the methods used to teach the design material and tools that a student’s mind usually uses when recording notes, whether words, lists, lines, arrangement or sequence that stimulate the mental skills of the left half of the brain, but the skills of the other half of the brain are not used which wastes a large part One of his mental energies that can be used to create contemporary design ideas characterized by originality. He saw the possibility of using mental maps in teaching the design material in general and the material for the furnishing fabrics design in particular. She also sees the importance of teaching the way to draw the mental map for students to use in developing design ideas as it helps the student to organize his ideas and technical data that are in his hands and then facilitates the stage of imagining the final form. The design idea is supposed to be. The problem of the study is that traditional methods of teaching design material may not be suitable for all students, as there is a group that cannot translate between their hands form elements, color plans, and technical methods into acceptable design ideas, so many of them resort to imitation, which prevents the emergence of any thought Creative or distinctive artwork. Here, the importance of study arises in seeking to use a new method of thinking based on the use of shapes only without using words, which causes the mind to make mental bonds and links that lead to unleash the student's innovative thought. The study aimed to take advantage of mental mapping in teaching the design subject, by training students on how to invent design ideas suitable for employment as printed furniture fabrics using the method of mental mapping. The study concluded that using the mental map to explain the design of furnishing fabrics (furnishing and curtains) made it easy for students to understand the information and raise the speed and efficiency of absorbing the idea. It also demonstrated that female students' use of mind maps in developing the design idea contributed to emptying all ideas and information in one sheet (the map), which greatly helped in arranging technical data and organizing it to reach a good and innovative design idea, which was evident in percentages after emptying the opinions of arbitrators Participants in evaluating design ideas through survey forms

Meditation –Peace of Mind

Everyone wants to be well and they also want healthy mind and body because healthy mind and body is the way to being healthy. To be healthy one’s should be positive toward their self-worth and doing yoga and meditation regularly. Meditation is a creative process that relaxes the taut nerves and muscles of our body and rejuvenates our dissipated mental and physical energies.

To experience the benefits of meditation, regular practice is necessary. It takes only a few minutes every day. Once imbibed into the daily routine, meditation becomes the best part of your day! Thus, meditation help us lot.

Some Anthropological Elements in Chekhov’s Theatre

The theatre, an enigmatic world in which the actors can transform for a couple of hours the reality of the spectators in an astonishing universe. Anton Chekhov, Russian dramatist is reveling his magical wings over the creation of the theatre with one of his plays, The Seagull. The time in his plays seems unbearable and it continues endlessly without novelty. One of the character from the theatre play The Seagull is Nina Zarecinaia and represents the single woman in this play that has the power to convert her life. The Chekhov’s character, Nina chose to live, love and suffer a manner to win wisdom and to find her way in life. She is more powerful that she thinks and is capable to endure her hard life without giving the possibility to come back to her old home. In this case, she is showing courage to take life as it is. Most important things about this character is that she comes back for a short period and penetrate the quiet space of the other characters, leaving behind at her leaving the appearance of death. Relying on the actions that Nina takes, we can find four elements of anthropology: empathizing, expression patterns, releasing the psychic energies and the art to detect and to avoid the unconscious traps.

Not Only Prints: Early Republic-Era Visual Culture Research at the Library Company of Philadelphia

Scholars, the general public, and special collections libraries are increasingly aware of the importance of visual images in examining the past. With the proliferation of sophisticated digitization technologies, researchers now have the opportunity to "see" images in new ways. No longer considered secondary to text and used merely to illustrate the written word, visual materials are taking their rightful place as primary evidence that document the past and influences our understanding of the present. The Library Company of Philadelphia supports this continuing focus on the historical importance of visual culture.

The Political Paranoid in Contemporary Politics

In this brief essay, I take up Hofstadter’s The Paranoid Style in American Politics (1964) to discuss key social and psychic energies at work across the United States today. Although they have longstanding roots in the United States, these paranoid tendencies have only intensified in recent years. I see this in two, intertwined ways–new social and psychic vulnerabilities as well as the rise of so-called “eliminationist” rhetoric.

“To the Uplift and Protection of Young Womanhood”: African-American Women at Iowa's Private Colleges and the University of Iowa, 1878–1928

In the fall semester of 1894, Ida Mae Godfrey entered Iowa Wesleyan College (IWC), a small predominantly white coeducational institution in the southeast Iowa town of Mount Pleasant Godfrey, like dozens of whites and eight blacks before her, had graduated from Mount Pleasant High School and was soon faced with a decision concerning the next steps in her life. She could, as did many young black and white women, marry, settle, and raise a family, but her personal and professional aspirations likely convinced her that a college education was the best choice. Although enrolled at IWC, Godfrey most likely lived at home while she attended school. This allowed her parents and extended family to shield her from some of the racial prejudices and possible sexual abuses she may have experienced had she gone away to college and worked as a domestic in a white home to pay for school. In temporarily exerting control over their daughter's life, Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey helped to preserve Ida's mental and physical energies so that she might advance through school and enter one of the most respectable occupations open to black women in the late nineteenth century—teaching.

Impact of an external energy on <italic>Yersinia enterocolitica</italic> [ATCC –23715] in relation to antibiotic susceptibility and biochemical reactions: An experimental study

Background : While spiritual and mental energies are known to man, their impact has never been scientifically measurable in the material world and they remain outside the domain of science. The present experiments on Yersinia enterocolitica [ATCC -23715], report the effects of such energy transmitted through a person, Mr. Mahendrakumar Trivedi, which has produced an impact measurable in scientifically rigorous manner. Methods: Yersinia enterocolitica strains in revived and lyophilized state were subjected to spiritual energy transmitted through thought intervention and/or physical touch of Mr. Trivedi to the sealed tubes containing strain and were analyzed within 10 days after incubation. Results: The results indicated that Mr.Trivedi's energy has changed 20 of 33 biochemical characteristics of Yersinia enterocolitica along with significant changes in susceptibility pattern in 15 of 32 antibiotics. The Biotype number has changed from the original control strain giving rise to 2 different biotypes in treated samples while the external energy /treatment given was the same for all treated samples suggestive of random polymorphism as analyzed through an automated machine. Conclusions: These results cannot be explained by current theories of science, and indicate a potency in Mr.Trivedi's energy, providing a model for science to be able to investigate the impact of spiritual energy in a rigorous manner. In lyophilized state, biochemical and enzymatic characteristics could be altered.
