This book codifies, describes, and contextualizes group rituals and
individual practices from world religious traditions. At the
interface of religious studies, psychology, and medicine, it
elucidates the cultural richness of practices and rituals from
numerous world religions. The book begins by discussing the role
that religious rituals and practices may play in the well-being of
humans and the multi-dimensional cultural and psychological
complexity of religious rituals and practices. It then discusses
rituals and practices within a number of religions, including
Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Sikh, Hindu,
Confucian, and other traditions. There is a need for a more
inclusive collection of religious rituals and practices, as some
practices are making headlines in contemporary society. Mindfulness
is one of the fastest-growing psychological interventions in
healthcare and Yoga is now practiced by tens of millions of people
in the U.S.A. These practices have been examined in thousands of
academic publications spanning neuroscience, psychology, medicine,
sociology, and religious studies. While Mindfulness and Yoga have
recently received widespread scientific and cultural attention,
many rituals and practices from world religious traditions have
remained underexplored in scholarly, scientific, and clinical
contexts. This book brings more diverse rituals and practices into
this academic discourse while providing a reference guide for
clinicians and students of the topic.
