Jean Watson
Written by nurses and caregivers, edited by renown theorist Jean Watson and Dr Sean Reed, this compilation of personal truths serves as a guide for all of us as we attempt to negotiate an ever complicated world. These personal truths will inspire, delight and comfort the reader
Sacred sutras, more formally, are brief aphoristic compositions of Ancient Hindu teachings- the way of spiritual elders; highly laden energetic words or phrases that point to spiritual truths, source, spirit as ancient truth teachings. Sutras can serve as a prayer or breaths of quietude of the busy mind. Sutras
are basic forms of almost all ancient religions such
as Hinduism and Buddhism and of early Indian philosophers who did not work with written texts. Sutras were memorized, chanted and recited for thousands of years and to this day as a way toward enlightenment and higher God consciousness, transcending self and outer world.
Sutras in nursing can serve as ancient universal truths to live and evolve by, uniting with consciousness for caring and healing. Who better to help our collective healing and recovery than nurses? These nurses and caregivers narratives are an offering, providing a platform in which to reflect on our own beliefs and values.
The unifying thread points to love as the highest level of consciousness and greatest source for all healing.
