Описание: As we grow up and grow old, embrace new experiences, try new roles, and adopt new technologies, our senses of time, space, connection, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication. Why, how, with whom, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape our ever-changing life span position. And while the «life span» can be conceived as a continuum, it is also one hinged by critical junctures and bound by cultural differences that can be better understood through communication. The chapters in this collection, chosen from among the invited plenary speakers, top research papers, and ideas discussed in San Juan, explore the multiple ways communication affects, reflects, and directs our life transition. Capturing the richness and diversity of scholarship presented at the conference, chapters explore communication technologies that define a generation; communication and successful aging; stereotyping and family communication; sexual communication and physiological measurement; life span communication and the digital divide; and home-based care contexts across the world, among others.
Описание: A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout provides a Christian spiritual model to prevent and cope with burnout caused by the workplace and conflict with family.

Описание: In this highly practical volume, the contributing authors explore some of the dimensions associated with aging in place. There are increasing numbers of older Americans who are faced with fundamental changes in their economic circumstances, health, and marital status which have an impact on their ability to age in place. Without the necessary supports many may have no other choice but to be prematurely or inappropriately placed in costly health care facilities or be forced to move into unfamiliar, less safe, less satisfactory housing environments. Aging in Place explores some of the dimensions associated with aging in place and informs readers about unmet needs and available living options for elderly persons. Experts discuss a number of crucial factors regarding the availability of social supports and the impact it has on the independence of the elderly, specifically their living arrangements. They address the issue of control and how access to social contact and real choices about services and facilities increases independence among the elderly; congregate housing as an alternative to nursing care for those elderly too frail for less supportive housing; discharge policies concerning frailty in senior living arrangements; and the lack of a full range of services in many alleged full service communities.

Can meditation really alleviate stress, bring serenity, and perhaps improve your health?
Scientific studies appear to show that they can. The evidence is clear, the meditation has been shown to help relieve stress, offer a feeling of serenity and can boost some health issues such as a lack of attention.
However, while meditation promises a host of valid advantages and perhaps others unknown, it is covered with mystery. But more than 20 million Americans are now practicing it, however enigmatic it sounds to the beginner. Would you like to join this increasing number of people to improve your quality of life? If so, this book will seek to expose those secrets for you and include trustworthy, realistic information to help you unlock the secrets of meditation and take advantage of its unique benefits.
I believe that meditation can be a secure tool for personal development and healing for all who practice it. My recommendation at the start is to keep it simple and easy to use. This ensures that you get to a good, good start. You will find that once you spend time exploring your mind's deep recesses, you become aware of powerful emotions or issues that you repressed or forgotten long ago. You may find that these problems cause you trouble. Be mindful of that, because it sometimes acts as a sign to point us in the way we have to go to get the help we need.
Let's put it more simply. We all have a physical body that is supported by the various organs or systems in it. When something goes wrong in any of these organs, the physical body will suffer in the form of an illness. Similarly, when something is wrong with one or more chakras, it will manifest itself in our body. Every chakra has its own significance just like each organ. And just like each organ is part of a system, each chakra is part of the whole chakra system. One blocked chakra can affect the whole system. This imbalance or blockage in the chakras can be corrected by using various techniques that you will learn in this book.
In this book, you will learn more about:
- Chakras and Science
- The seven Chakras
- Why chakras are important and what they influence
- Chakras and Auras
- Chakra, vortices of energy and light
- Chakra Massages
- Connecting to your heart energy
- The Benefits of Reiki
- The Magic of Meditation
- Every Day Practices
- Guided meditations.....AND MORE
