Everybody knows those wonderful moments, when one's spirit, soul and body are all in accord with one another. Whereas in the last FORUM we focused on the physical aspects of our existence, this issue will concentrate on the spirit and the soul.
It is obviously a very ambitious goal to reach or maintain a state of harmony when one is under pressure. What possibilities are there, what can give our soul "nutrition", strength and healing powers? The answers vary - and are very personal. Of course, rituals, religion, closeness to nature, the love of others, the feelings of community, friendship and love, all play an important role. These are some of the "energy sources" which our colleagues from different parts of the world report about in this issue of FORUM. In order to apply such sources effectively, not only are certain occasions needed that allow for quality of life, but also circumstances that do not demand too much of us but motivate us. The next issue of FORUM will be dedicated to this topic: focusing on aspects such as personnel development and empowerment.
