Abstract
Holistic nurses intentionally respond to the suffering of others with compassion. This article presents knowledge relevant to the Universal force of compassion from three knowledge sources: (a) neuroscience, (b) the chakra system by clairvoyants, and (c) nursing theorists Watson, Newman, and Smith. In the past two decades an increase in research on compassion has yielded information that has implications for fostering self-development, transformation, and healing. Therapeutic Touch® (TT), a compassion-based holistic human energy field therapy, is used as a practice exemplar.
期刊介绍:
Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
