Holistic Health Conference for Nursing Professionals.
at Brahma Kumaris, Shantivan.
Caring, Sharing & Inspiring Core Values for Better Nursing Care
18th to 22nd September, 2009.
About 4000 nurses from all over India, Holland-Nepal came to attend this special Holistic Health Conference. Brahma Kumaris organised such conferences for nurses for the past 20 years. However in this period of human history, it is essential to have and implement a broad
vision on human suffering. This conference is focused on nursing professionals, especially those who have leadership roles – Directors/Principals of Nursing Colleges and Schools, Nursing Tutors, Matrons, Ward
In charges, Staff Nurses. There are opportunities to reflect, explore and discuss how to introduce
new dimensions of Core Values for Better nursing care in their personal life and work. The conference also has workshops to make values practical. Values are Peace, Positivity, Compassion, Co-operation and Honesty. When higher values and spirituality enriches our lives, we are happy and contented. Compassion flows easily and naturally. When there is a lack of contentment, we usually lose sight of values and spirituality and work becomes a burden. As spiritual powers accumulate, nothing can obstruct the experience of pure elevated feelings towards self and others. Values can emerge naturally in our actions and interactions.There are 2 main keys for creating a broad view of human suffering and healing. The first key is to make people aware of their spiritual identity and integrate it in practical life. The second key is to understand the deep connection between illnesses, emotional pain and the loss of spiritual energy. Today the nurses have come to learn once again what it means to have complete health which
the WHO has declared in 1990.That means: “Physical Health, Mental health, Social health and Spiritual health”. These nurses are going to learn the meaning of spiritual health in this conference.
