Personal Note: I suffer from MS, Carpal Tunnel, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, using Reiki and various forms of Spiritual Healing to help myself (at great success), but I have never let anything in life to stop me to achieve my dreams. For me to achieve my initial formal qualification was a great struggle, fiscally, mentally, emotionally and definitely financially, I had to change my life 100%, and leave behind all what I had build for years (money, people, business ... etc) ... I admit, I was really scare ... how will I survive?, how will I pay the bills?, will others accept the new me?, it this really what I'm suppose to do? is all this stuff about pressure points, meridians and so on for real, or just a way for people to make money and con others? ... I knew that what I really wanted to do in the long term was to work with the spiritual site, so I was not that excited to start with body work, but something inside keep telling me, don't worry ... just keep going ... the more I study and practice the more I realise that by working on the physical site is a great way to enter into the spiritual aspect of a any living thing, at least for the once that are starting to realise their potential as a human being ...

Since I was a child I knew the path I had to follow, but I as I grow older I choose other paths ... and got involve in what others call "the real world" ... to go against the flow did bring it's consequences ... no amount of money, men, friends ... were able to satisfy a whole I had inside ... so I finally decided just to accept that their was not other path for me than the spiritual, it was no essay (still is not essay and I have accepted that it will never be and essay path), I don't know were my path will take me, I take day by day, listening careful to what is said.

What is Holistic Healing?:

Holistic healing means taking an holistic approach when seeking treatment for imbalances and choosing to live a more balanced lifestyle. What primarily distinguishes holistic healing apart from alternative medicine, complementary medicine, and integrative medicine is that physical health is not necessarily the main focus. Even so, it is often the experience of physical discomfort that will first prompt a person's pursuit of holistic healing.

It is true that our pains and other physical discomforts demand our attention. This is where the saying "sticking out like a sore thumb'" originated from. It is difficult to ignore the obvious when we are physically hurting. Common sense tells us that we should seek help to alleviate our discomforts. Holistic healing is not an "alternative" to conventional medical care. Sometimes going to a medical professional is the best solution to addressing a dis-ease.

Physical illnesses are the symptoms of a greater imbalance that may or may not have a root cause in the physical.

Holistic or "wholistic" healing addresses all parts of the individual, not just the physical aspect of a person where manifested illnesses are most apparent. Holistic healing is not intended to serve as a band-aid or a one time fix. It is an ongoing journey of discovery in search of more answers and ultimately; living better, being healthier, and striving for wholeness.

 

Holistic Healing Goes Beyond the Mind-Body Connection:

Holistic healing is really a lifestyle approach. The holistic approach goes far beyond the Mind-Body connection of finding and maintaining wellness. Overall wellness AND "wholeness" is highly valued. All parts of a person's life (physical healing, mental health and wellness, emotional well-being, and spiritual beliefs and values) are considered. Taking a holistic approach involves seeking the tools that will help us attract our desires and find personal power.

A person who embraces the desire to find wholeness within his own being soon learns the importance of tending to relationships, caring for the planet and our environments, having compassion for humankind in general, and accepting and tolerating differences among a diverse population of people.

 

What is the Role of the Holistic Healer?:

The holistic healer recognizes that our discomforts or pains are merely symptoms of an imbalance. The imbalance could be a physical issue, the result of abusing the physical body through an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, or too little sleep. Or, the imbalance may be the result of mental, emotional, or spiritual needs not being met. No aspect (mind, body, spirit, or emotions) of a person is overlooked when an holistic treatment is sought.

The holistic healer looks at the "whole person" in order to make his or her complete evaluation and uses all information gathered before suggested treatments to the client are offered. Keep in mind, not all holistic healers are equal, each has his or her own specialty or expertise to offer.

Definition of Alternative Medicine

Alternative Medicine is a term used when therapies are presented as an option to conventional or Western medical treatments.

Definition of Complementary Medicine

Complementary Medicine is a term used when therapies are being used in conjunction with conventional or Western medical treatments.

Definition of Integrative Medicine

Integrative Medicine was the new "buzz" term first used primarily by mainstreamers in the 1990s. This was a time when more medical professionals were opening their eyes to the Mind-Body connection. Alternative therapies were no longer being judged as quackery or far-afield from acceptable. Some therapies were being integrated into the mainstream. Massage therapy, acupuncture, meditation and visualization, and chiropractic medicine were among the first therapies to be integrated into established medical care programs.
