Pandimensionality is defined as \"a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes, the parameters that human use in language to describe events are arbitrary, the present is relative and there is no temporal ordering of lives.\" (Rogers, 1992, p. 29). To me, pandidimensional is a term to describe a form of non-stimulating level of awareness. Fully detaching from outside energy stressors and connecting with one’s inner peace could be my explanation.
Being raised at a very religious household (preacher parents), pranormal phenomena’s, dimensions, energy and things of that sort where basically banned from our vocabulary. To many in the Christian world, this are terms and practices that should not be considered, and to be honest, I never did. As I’ve grown older I’ve learned to put aside judgements and accept everyone’s believes and practices with respect. Even though I may be unfamiliar with paranormal experiences, I can definitely say I do enjoy praying. I learned this practice ever since I was a little girl and I have found peace and answers through this time I separate daily.
The relevance of these experiences and practices to nursing is in the number that occur in health-related contexts, and Rogers’s nursing science provides a theoretical and scientific understanding that accounts for the occurrence of paranormal experiences. Rogers clearly stated her belief that multiple theories can be derived from the science of unitary human beings. They are specific to nursing and reflect not what nurses do but an understanding of people and our world (Rogers, 1992).
I once tried acupuncture and have also witnessed fellow collages practice Yoga. As a nurse I would sincerely suggest my patients to engage in any preferred practice that they find beneficial to a healing process, considering of course their physical stance. There are many preferences, personalities and cultural factors that lead me to believe that what might work for one, may not for others. After doing some research, I’ve found that Yoga has many styles in practices. According to Nichols (2018) Yoga Sutra is the earliest written record of yoga and one of the oldest texts in existence and provides the framework for all modern yoga. Yoga is a guidebook on how to master the mind, control the emotions, and grow spiritually (Nichols, 2018). Modern yoga has evolved with a focus on exercise, strength, flexibility, and breathing. It can help boost physical and mental well-being.
Evaluating outcomes when contrasting a patient’s progress in health standings would be my way of interpreting benefits. I wouldn’t necessarily limit myself to physical aspects when evaluating. I’m conscientious that many patients openly verbalize descriptions liberating experiences they encounter through meditation and yoga. To me, anything that brings clarity and space to our minds can definitely contribute towards the maintenance of a good mental health. I personally believe in the imperativeness of holistic health approach (physical, mental, spiritual). I would diffidently encourage my patients to seek any of these practices as part of their self-care. Independently of which practice they may incline towards; my main goal is to become a facilitator by encouraging this much needed space.
