Nweke","doi":"10.53765/20512201.30.5.191","DOIUrl":null,"url":null,"abstract":"<The westernization of the Igbo people disrupted the stability of indigenousness in various spheres of their socio-cultural reality. In certain spheres, the indigenousness seems irrevocably lost, while in other spheres, there is a re-emergence. Healing is one of those areas in which\n the Igbo people preserved their consciousness, enabling a renewal of Indigenous healing practices. They believe that a human being belongs to both the physical and the spiritual realms. Hence, in a human being is the interconnection of the physical and the spiritual, in all ramifications of\n life, including health. Using both a theoreticalanalytical method and exploring the enigmatic world of a traditional healer in a narrative method, this article aims at expounding on healing and the consciousness behind it with the Igbo people.","PeriodicalId":47796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consciousness Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6000,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":"0","resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":null,"PeriodicalName":"Journal of Consciousness Studies","FirstCategoryId":"102","ListUrlMain":"https://doi.org/10.53765/20512201.30.5.191","RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":null,"EPubDate":"","PubModel":"","JCR":"0","JCRName":"PHILOSOPHY","Score":null,"Total":0}
