Holistic
Approach

Introduction

About 400 years before Christ, Plato said:

‘The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul and if the head and the body are to be healthy, you must begin by curing the mind. That is the first thing. Let no one persuade you to cure the head until he has first given you his soul to be cured. For this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that physicians first separate the soul from the body.’

The words whole, holy and heal come from the same word meaning Oneness. They are all the same.

'China, Japan, India, Tibet, Americas, Africa, Australia & have had a natural holistic approach for thousands of years eg. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture, Tai Chi, QiGong, Reiki, Shamanism, Ayurveda, Meditation, Massage, etc.

Many of these can be used as complementary therapies - that means they can work alongside conventional medicine. Complementary Medicine "complements" the patient at physical, mental, emotional vital force and spiritual energy levels of consciousness and is Holism in practise.

Alternative ' therapies were the norm until conventional medicine in the 19th century. For example herbs, flowers, tree bark, mushrooms, water & plants (as well as sound, light, massage, yoga, prayer, meditation, dreams, astrology) have been used to relieve and cure dis-ease for thousands of years - known to have medicinal properties. Asprin is derived from tree bark.

Conventional medicine often treats humans as machines, with separate parts - likes cogs in a machine. Instead we need to look at the mind-body-soul connection.

Remission or Curing' is often only on the physical level. For true healing the original seed (eg. trauma / radiation) of the problem needs to identified and resolved and then the body needs to return to balance.

When one has cancer, conventional medicine is only 25% of the available options. If one only listens to the doctors one is only using 25% of the resources. By all means see a doctor but also get several other opinions.

Thinking you've got no options can only make things worse. Feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, lack of territory, lack of direction, lack of self -love, all contribute to a run down immune system and lead to dis-ease.

The doctor's diagnosis is only based on of Scholastic Medicine and not on Oriental, Natural, Traditional Medicine which has been used for thousands of years.

Most doctors have not learned much about - Nutrition, Power of the Mind, Qi / Ki / Prana, Power of Love, Prayer, Mind, Wisdom, Karma, True Purpose, Soul Purpose. Doctor's have often forgotten about principles and teachings of Hippocrates and Aristotle.

The optimum strategy is a holistic, balanced and an integrated one. Healing can happen on any of the four levels - Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual. Healing is not necessarily curing. Healing is about becoming happy with life and with who you really are in the present moment.

Therapies such as Reiki, Qigong, Meditation and Herbal Medicine have proved results on increasing blood count, boosting immune system and releasing stress and studies are currently possible . So they can work well in conjunction with conventional medicine.

Remember the body is set up for survival & preservation. It is designed to be healthy, whole and balanced. A broken bones heals and becomes stronger.

If body-mind-soul are connected then it makes sense that the soul or mind also want to survive. Survival for the soul means happiness and tranquility on the physical. If the soul is not happy, joyful, singing - it will want to return to it's maker.

The mind and body are servants of the soul

You have the power to decide.

When Choosing Therapy

To learn the numerous ways Laetrile was discredited, read 'The Cancer Industry' by Ralph Moss.

One who is holy is one with the universe - whole

One who is healed is a whole person and recognises the interconnectedness of life

Modern medicine only looks at the symptoms of the disease. Doctors often look at our bodies as a machine. 9 / 10 takes care of symptoms only.

Medicine doesn't look at causes in ourselves - do we abandon, neglect ourselves, relationships, environment, lost sense of meaning, soul crushed?!

eg. overgrown garden - cut down all weeds which are choking weeds, wait - see where new life, nurture for year, then move plants around.

If you are ill or have a dis-ease, it means that there is an imbalance between your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.

Healing is basically about returning the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects back to balance, wholeness and harmony.

 

For Example

Emotional factors - Cancer may be due to a feeling of hopelessness, helplessness, and self-pity. ( Louise Hay - 'You can heal your life')

Physical factors - pollution, smoke, chemical

Mental factors - Why was n't I included in the will?! I'm a loser.

Spiritual Factors - Deepak Chopra suggests many people that have cancer are not fulfilling their True Purpose*. Those diagnosed with cancer have forgotten their purpose for this life. You need to remember what you are here for!!

Hence many holistic healing approaches, that have been used for thousands of years in the east, are increasingly emerging in the western cultures.

Holistic because they deal with the person as a whole. Holistic methods of healing look at the cause (mental / physical /emotional / spiritual) , so that the disease does not reoccur.

what in life causing blocks?

more in life right than wrong!

In Chinese medicine different parts of body related to causes. The Chinese have known for years that we have energy channels (meridians) running through our bodies. If these channels get blocked disease can manifest!

change attitude - put self first instead of others. Before maybe you couldn't say no. Always other people first. Learn to love self first, then you are in astronger position to love others unconditionally!

Used to live in grey state; Live life, examine plants, stop car look at sunset - amazing and relaxing

Stop and Smell the Roses, Watch the Sunset!!

Spiritual Healing - Most Potent & misunderstood

Spiritual healing is like giving a jump start to a car with a low battery. The healer who has a strong connection to energy channels some energy to your flat battery. When your battery is charged you can continue to charge / heal yourself!!

The healer channels pure loving energy from divine source (God, source, plants, angels) and sends it to the patient.

We can all absorb Energy, from plants. Likewise we can send consciously direct energy (thought = energy). It is a Natural spirit connection

Spiritual healing is beyond belief systems & religious denominations.

The healer senses where energy low, leaves his /her hands there to charge up the energy and then intuitively moves to where energy needed.

sense and allow - raising energy levels while calming - spiritcalmness & peacefulness, stillness, positive experience, be empowered

if you are of strong religious beliefs find healer same

Receive healing once a week - it is free, or by donation (for healers time)

raises energy - Once Energy Restored - you can help yourself Self

see http://www.nfsh.org and page on healing with hands*

 

Meditation

Relax your body - release muscular tension, tense everything then release.

Sit or lie comfortably with good posture (straight back)

Take a few full breaths - inhaling light and love, exhaliong negative feelings and emotions

Concentrate on number of breaths, or look at one object, or repeat a mantra, or feel the enegy in your hands until your mind stills and stops thinking - it just watches & witnesses

It is this state of silent passive awareness of no-thought that is very beneficial for your mind, body and spirit

It is the gaps between the notes that makes the music!!

Kingdom of heaven is within - start to experience own conciousness - joy & bliss here - healing messages are sent to tissue- Healing Cancer through Meditation in Australia!

analogy

consciousness like sky, cloud are like thoughts - The more you practise meditation the more clouds disappear and the sun shines through (Divine One Within / Higher self)

replace fear with mellow state of mind, choose peace / kind instead of anger, be discerning instead of judging. Once fear, doubt, anger and judgement are overcome then one's mind is naturally clearer and more peaceful.

Remember we have about 60,000 thoughts per day - 95% were the same thoughts we had yesterday!
