Does Holistic Healing Really Work?
Holistic (or wholistic) healing works to balance all parts of a person. It encompasses physical wellness, emotional balance, mental health, your environment and even your spiritual life. Holistic health care is a wonderful support in self healing and development. When we look at our self holistically we are looking at all aspects of our being. If we are out of balance in any one area we will be functioning less optimally than we could be, and this may even lead to a breakdown or health challenge down the road.
It requires that you actively participate in your healing process. This means you must take responsibility for your health and life by asking questions of your holistic physician, and taking the action steps she suggests. Everything that happens to us has an effect on our overall being.
Some things help us and some hurt us – it is up to us to do more of the one and less of the other. One example is the doctor that smokes. He knows it is not good for him and yet the addiction is so great he cannot stop. Why do people do things they know are bad for them? If you look at it from a holistic perspective you will find they are out of balance in one or more areas of their life.
Holistic practitioners work to balance your mind, body and spirit through natural self healing practices, such as:
- herbal remedies
- meditation
- aromatherapy
- yoga
- acupuncture
- Ayurveda
- visualization
- proper nutrition
- exercise
- massage
- counseling
- vitamin supplements
- reflexology
- chiropractic
- *and many more
I have been involved in ‘wholism’ for over 25 years. Back when I started getting curious a lot of what I suggested above was considered voodoo, or just a bunch of stuff few took seriously. Now with time we have come to not only realize the benefits of these previously misjudged techniques, but modern science is starting to verify their value. There have been numerous cases where Yogis have gone into a medical facility for scientific testing and proven what the mind can do.
A good example is meditation. 25 years ago it was looked upon with suspicion and hostility by traditional medicine. Today doctors from every corner of the world are recommending meditation because it has proven to reduce blood pressure, to help patients with asthma to breathe more easily, as a natural sleep aid and to quiet our minds and emotions.
Holistic healing can give you all that, and more…naturally.
