When a person turns to a holistic therapist, it’s often after knocking on a number of doors without finding any real long-term relief. In reality, the solution often lies in combining different forms of therapy and medicine. The best way to take charge of your own well-being is not to pit one type of medicine against another, but rather to combine the benefits of each.
All aspects of the human being are important to take into account in order to get a global view of the person (life path, strengths, weaknesses, challenges and successes, physical health…).
The power of thought is the subject of much study and debate. However, when physician Henry Beecher resorted to the placebo effect during the Second World War, due to a lack of morphine, he injected wounded combatants with a saline solution, pretending it was a painkiller, and found that it worked in many cases.
Since then, other experiments have been carried out in several countries around this concept, as well as meditation, among others. These studies have highlighted the power of brain imaging! In fact, certain regions of the brain are directly associated with the sensation of pain, but also of pleasure. It is therefore possible to reduce the sensation of pain thanks to imaging. The influence of thoughts and emotions on health can no longer be ignored.
Holistic therapy comes from the ancient Greek etymology :
Holistic practice is therefore concerned with the human being as a whole, a whole that cannot be divided if it is to be healed.
Today’s scientific developments and traditions enable us to perceive the human being as a more or less integrated and coordinated whole of different levels of vibratory organization:
These four bodies (physical, energetic, emotional and mental) are intimately linked, yet each retains its own functions and laws of operation.
Holistic therapy aims to establish harmony of body and mind through a variety of techniques. It looks at the individual as a whole, seeking ways to improve physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Considered a form of alternative medicine, it has its roots in various currents: in traditional Chinese medicine, Indian ayurveda and Amerindian medicine, the person is seen as a whole whose parts are interdependent. The following are taken into consideration
Illness reveals a global imbalance; holistic care then takes care of the whole person, working on different levels.
This approach has gained in popularity over the last few decades.
Have you ever noticed in your day-to-day life that a worry, annoyance or major stress has been followed by physical pain a few minutes or a day later? Who hasn’t experienced back pain?
