Spirituality as Integrality: A Rogerian Perspective on the Path of Healing

Abstract

This article explores a view of spirituality as integrality within Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings. As such, spirituality is both a principle within the system as well as a manifestation of field process. As the latter, experiencing integrality suggests multidimensional awareness which has implications for health and healing of the unitary human/environmentalfield process. Barretts knowing participation in change and Scandrett-Hibdons theory of endogenous healing are explored briefly in relation to peoples participation in their own health and healing. This idea is then extended to environmental health and healing. Parallels between this view of integrality and Native American beliefs are examined, along with the interplay between spirituality and mysticism, with some closing suggestions for ways to actualize this awareness in everyday life.
