In this weekend`s podcast Jose Parappully (sumedhacentre@gmail.com) continues exploration of mental health and wellbeing by looking at the role of gratitude.
There is a growing body of psychological and medical research that shows positive emotions have a profound impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Positive emotions like love, joy, hope, contentment are robust predictors of increased psychological well-being, especially during upsetting times. They optimize health, and psychological resilience. One major reason for this is that positive emotions strengthen our immune system.
Important among the dispositions, or virtues, that promote positive emotions is gratitude.

The Coming celebration of Christmas - God embodying human flesh as we read in John`s Gospel (1, 14), is a good occasion for us to reflect on another significant dimension of a Holistic Spirituality, namely, a Spirituality of Embodiment.
God taking on human flesh and blood in Jesus of Nazareth gives a whole new dimension to the understanding of the body -- human, but also all living and non-living bodies.

Last weekend we reflected on the impact of dualism on spirituality. This weekend we shall reflect on a Spirituality based on the newly emerged Holistic paradigm.

Several developments in science and philosophy in the last hundred years have undermined the mechanistic-dualistic paradigm and paved the way for the emergence of a new one - the Holistic paradigm.

The title of this podcast/blog ``Psyche & Soul`` alludes to a profound truth, namely ``psyche,`` that stands of psychology, and ``soul,`` standing for spirituality, go together.
We normally assume that the two are very different. Not really. Both have to do with everyday life and behaviour and thus have much in common. Good psychology is good spirituality, and good spirituality is good psychology

Emotionally healthy persons have genuine appreciation for life and its blessings. They experience spontaneous joy and deep satisfaction in living. They are sensitive to the wonderful things happening in them and around them—the daily miracles of life. They live gratefully.
