What Is Holistic Healing and How Can It Impact Your Life?
The word "holistic" has become a very popular buzzword in many circles, but many people do not understand the full impact of what the word means or what Holistic Healing can do for them. The very word "holistic" means treating the entire whole. For instance, if your body has a broken leg and a broken arm, but only the broken leg is treated, your body would not be whole. Moreover, if a doctor attempts to fix a broken leg, but internally, you are emotionally hurt, then only a part of your whole is treated.Holistic Healing deals with the entire person's body, mind, and spirit to be whole, healthy, and working in unison. If the body is well but the mind or spirit is sick, then a person cannot experience total health. There is a strong connection between the three parts, which is the body, mind, and spirit of the person. Therefore, to be whole and well, all three parts need to be treated.
Medical Courses in Holistic Healing doctors focus on healing the body, which is good, but it does not mean the person is whole. Holistic practitioners seek to treat the mind, which deals with a person's mindset, thought processes, mental stress, and brainwave patterns. Surprisingly for some, when the mind is healed, the body follows and becomes healthier. Moreover, when the spirit is disconnected from the higher self or is unable to tap into other realms, it often affects the physical body negatively and illness often follows.Holistic Healing deals with the entire person, both those that are visible and the ones that are not. When all the parts of the body are working together in unison, then you are truly whole, which is what holistic is all about. Moreover, many of the diseases and illnesses that affect the body are related to the unhealthy foods that many people eat. Certainly you heard growing up, "You are what you eat!" and there is absolute truth to this because if you eat a high saturated fat diet with little greens or fresh foods, it affects your health overall negatively in several ways.Furthermore, most westerners, when they have a slight pain, head to their medicine cabinet and get some pills for pain. While this can be useful sometimes, depending on a pill to make you whole will never suffice. For instance, if you have a neck-ache because you are over-stressed and constantly worrying, taking the pill may help to temporarily relieve the neck pain, but the pain is stemming from your stress, not your neck. Getting to the root of the cause of the pain is also part of Holistic Healing.
Finally, Holistic Healing many times deals with the energy fields in the body by ensuring that your body internally, spiritually, and physically are all working together so that your body experiences less pain, your spirit is free and weightless, and your mind is free to work, play, and concentrate with little effort.
