  • The Psychological Impact of Music on Feelings of Spirituality
    1 The Power of Notes: The Psychological Impact of Music on Feelings of Spirituality Qiang Zhang Duke University Durham, NC 2019 Advisor: Dr. Mark Leary An honors thesis submitted to the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with distinction 2 Abstract Although music has been used in spiritual contexts throughout history, not much is known about how the characteristics within music that elicit feelings associated with spirituality. This study was designed to shed light on this question through researching the effects of three psychological dimensions of music – intensity, valence, and depth – on feelings of spirituality in listeners. Additionally, the moderating effects of personal spirituality on the psychological effects of music were analyzed. One hundred and twelve participants listened to short clips of music that had been scaled with respect to their intensity, valence, and depth, and rated how they felt on 14 items. Results showed that each of the three dimensions was significantly associated with ratings associated with spirituality. Moreover, personal spirituality moderated the effects of music on ratings. These findings offer future directions through which to study music and spirituality. 3 The Power of Notes: The Psychological Impact of Music on Feelings of Spirituality Music is an integral element of human life that has played a particularly important role in many religious and spiritual forms of cultural expression (Miller & Strongman, 2002; Penmen & Becker, 2009; Scherer, 2004). For example, in Pentecostal churches, music is often used to facilitate religious experience (Miller & Strongman, 2002), and can create a strong, positive emotional response that sometimes leads to ecstasy (Penmen & Becker, 2009).

  • Reverence for Life
    Reverence for Life A Guiding Ethic for Western University Research August, 2008 When Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was at the height of his influence, he was considered the most famous and admired man alive. Schweitzer – an accomplished ethical philosopher, theologian, musician, organ builder, author, and medical doctor -- received a PhD in Philosophy in 1899, and a year later received a second PhD in theology, both from the University of Strasbourg. After establishing a successful career in theology and music, he changed directions at age 30, receiving a doctor of medicine degree in 1913, also from University of Strasbourg. He subsequently devoted much of his career to treating patients in equatorial Africa, and became world-renowned as a humanitarian. Dr. Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952 for development of the reverence for life ethic. Summarized in his own words: "Man's ethics must not end with man, but should extend to the universe. He must regain the consciousness of the great chain of life from which he cannot be separated. He must understand that all creation has its value. Life should only be negated when it is for a higher value and purpose -- not merely in selfish or thoughtless actions. What then results for man is not only a deepening of relationships, but a widening of relationships." 1 This ethic is the moral underpinning of our research efforts at Western University of Health Sciences. Dr. Schweitzer recognized reverence for life as an absolute ethic. This does not mean this ethic is to be applied absolutely or completely in every situation; rather, the reverence for life ethic is a goal, an ideal, for which we are to strive.

  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.

  • Know Your Audience Who Are Your Preschoolers?
    Diocese of Richmond Catechetical Curriculum Revised 2017 Know Your Audience Just like Jesus, every good catechist knows their audience. “The catechist – must take into consideration all the human factors of a particular age level in order to present the Gospel message in a vital and compelling way.” (NDC #48) Who Are Your Preschoolers? FAITH DEVELOPMENT Children at this age: ❖ Need parents and family life as a ground for their faith. ❖ View size, power, and position as reasons for responding to God, parents, and rules. ❖ Need to share in common language and rituals of faith. ❖ Can begin to develop a personal relationship with God, especially through prayer. ❖ Form dispositions toward the world and attitudes toward worship that will last a lifetime. ❖ Need continuity and routine to provide order to their world. ❖ Focus on images rather than reality. ❖ Need help to distinguish imagination from reality. ❖ Need assurance that scary wishes do not make bad things come true. ❖ View events in isolation. Preschool Catechist Page Page 1 Diocese of Richmond Catechetical Curriculum Revised 2017 Guiding Principles Catechists should: • Change activities frequently to accommodate short attention spans. Repeat short and simple songs, poems, and stories often for and with the children. Do not present abstract religious concepts since these are beyond the mental capabilities of the preschool child. • Be sensitive to children who cannot accomplish tasks requiring coordination. Praise attempts at the “process” rather than the “product.” • Provide individual attention to be given to each child. Have small pupil-teacher ratio. • Promote trust and helpfulness, spontaneity and caring, mutual respect and a sense of wonder through your attitude.

  • Reverence-Enhancing Activities
    Reverence-Enhancing Activities These activities benefit from being done with full attention (presence). Engage in some of these activities regularly to enhance your reverence. Time in Nature: Some research suggests that even 2 hours a week in nature enhances wellbeing. Aristotle reportedly once said, “In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” Connection with nature is essential to our wellbeing. Nature triggers awe probably more than any other experience. When you are in nature, simply be in nature. Let the mind still. Pay careful attention to the senses. Take a “presence walk.” Note sights, sounds, smells, and the feeling of walking. See and hear everything as if for the first time. Let go of ideas of beautiful and ugly. Just notice what you experience without judgment. Note the vastness of your environment. Look at the sky. Look at the clouds above. When you see a rainbow, stop and savor it. There are many ways to savor Nature. You can go on a hike, sit in a park, watch sunsets and sunrises, or spend time at the ocean or by a lake. Music: Listening to music can cultivate reverence and joy. Art: Great art can inspire awe. Museums are a good option for viewing art. Art appreciation classes can also inspire joy and awe. Watch Inspiring performances: This could be sports, dance, theater, rock concerts, or any other venue where people give awe-inspiring performances of beauty, grace, and skill. THE WELLMIND COMMUNITY WWW.WELLMIND.COM Reverence-Enhancing Activities Poetry and Literature: Poetry in particular can convey the truth that cannot be conceptualized or spoken.

  • 2013 Appreciative Inquiry Values
    VALUES This document reproduces, as closely as possible, the “Values” flipcharts participants created during the Appreciative Inquiry workshops. Participants were asked to share a personal story, about a time where they felt an "experience of the holy"; about an experience that may have expanded their hearts and minds; perhaps a moment of transcendence, joy, or wonder. In groups, the participants discussed the values that were embedded in their stories, and then they worked together to create a list of values that they would want to pull forward into the future of our religious community. The list of values from the various sessions are set forth below. Values • Generosity • Connections • Transformative Moments • One-ness o Intimacy (vastness, Nature) o Community • Resonance (not necessarily Harmony or Dissonance) • Interconnectedness • Wholeness • Wonder Connectedness Communal/Sacred experience Intimacy Aesthetic Empathy comfort Joy Compassionate Unmediated experience Compassion Mutual respect Transformation Appreciation of qualities in others {A0537382.DOC / 5 Values List 007337 000002} Page | 1 Community (caring/acceptance/teamwork) Personal growth/creativity Integrity Justice/Equity Transcendence and beauty Respect, for community and individual Appreciation – • being part of something greater • of all people (we are linked) • (theme song might be Blue Boat Home) Getting outside of yourself Getting outside of time Being challenged Truth seeking Transcendence/Awe Willingness to accept reality Freedom Connection Comfort/Solace Simplicity

  • The Psychological Relationship Between Spirituality and Emotional
    Running head: SPIRITUALITY AND MUSIC 1 The Psychological Relationship Between Spirituality and Emotional Responses to Music Anais Dorian Norman A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2013 SPIRITUALITY AND MUSIC 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Chad Magnuson, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Larry Anderson, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ John D. Kinchen, III, D.M.A. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date SPIRITUALITY AND MUSIC 3 Abstract A study was conducted with 251 undergraduate psychology students at a Christian university to determine the nature of the relationship between spirituality and music- based emotions. Two hypotheses were proposed: First, students with higher levels of spirituality would experience higher emotional intensity while listening to music. Second, students will experience equal emotional intensity when listening to the “sacred” or “secular” selections. In answer to the first hypothesis, results indicated that overall intensity in emotional response to musical selections did significantly and positively correlate with higher spirituality scores. In answer to the second hypothesis, the strength of emotional intensity did differ, and intensity was found to be significantly higher for the secular musical selections. Implications of these results are explored. SPIRITUALITY AND MUSIC 4 The Psychological Relationship Between Spirituality and Emotional Responses to Music Music is a uniquely human experience, and for years, researchers have sought to narrow down and define this experience by its psychological elements.
