Listen as we understand how religion influences our understanding of health and healing. Religious ideology affects different regions of the world in various ways. The dominant religion of a particular geographical region determines how the people of that community view the world. Further, it affects our understating of what is “healthy” or “unhealthy”. It also influences how we understand healing- is healing collective or individualistic? Listen as we explore these topics with specific reference to the Acholi region of Uganda.   Spiritual Virtues to look for in this podcast are curiosity, awareness and interconnectedness. Awareness of how your path of health and healing looks different from someone else’s is the first step in appreciating differences between cultures and seeing the humanity in others. Cultivating curiosity on what ideologies and teachings inform your understanding of the healing process, helps you to recognize that your own belief systems are a product of your individual experience and geographical location. The virtue of interconnectedness allows you to examine how your healing process may relate to family and community dynamics. Seeing yourself as a part in a greater universe, helps to unveil how individual healing can ricochet into a higher collective consciousness.
