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. It is difficult to ignore the obvious when we are physically hurt. 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 address a disease.

Holistic healing addresses all aspects of an individual's well-being, not just the physical aspect 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. Adapting a holistic approach involves seeking the tools that will help us attract our desires and realize 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 environment, having compassion for humankind in general, and accepting and tolerating differences of a diverse population.

Types of holistic healing:

1. Acupressure - Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique similar in principle to acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through "meridians" in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, elbow, or with various devices.

Acupressure may be effective at helping manage nausea and vomiting and for reducing lower back pain, tension headaches, stomach ache, etc.

2. Acupuncture - Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) involving thin needles inserted into the body at acupuncture points. It can be associated with the application of heat, pressure, or laser light at these same points. Acupuncture is commonly used for pain relief, though it is also used for a wide range of other conditions.

3. Astrology - Astrology is the study of movements and relative positions of celestial objects as a means for divining information about human affairs and terrestrial events.

4. Bach Flower Remedies - Bach flower remedies are solutions of brandy and water-the water containing extreme dilutions of flower material. Bach claims that dew found on flower petals retain imagined healing properties of that plant.

The dilution process results in the statistical likelihood that little more than a single molecule may remain, it is claimed that the remedies contain energetic or vibration nature of the flower and that this can be transmitted to the user.

The solutions are described by some as vibration medicines, which implies they rely on the pseudoscientific concept of water memory. They are often labeled as homeopathic because they are extremely diluted in water, but are not homeopathy as they do not
follow other homeopathic ideas such as the law of similar.

5. Crystal healing - Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine technique that employs stones and crystals.

One method is where the practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to so-called "chakras"; or else the practitioner places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid", which is purported to surround the person with healing energy.

6. Reiki healing - Reiki healing is a form of alternative medicine. Since its beginning in Japan, Reiki has been adapted across varying cultural traditions. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing or hands-on-healing. Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring "universal energy" through their palms, which they believe encourages healing.

Reiki is considered as pseudoscience. It is based on qi ("chi"), which practitioners say is a universal life force.

7. Hypnotherapy - Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy used to create subconscious change in a patient in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings. It is undertaken with a subject under hypnosis.

A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual behavioral characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably heightened suggestibility and responsiveness.

8. Pranic healing - Pranic Healing is a claimed energy healing system, according to which prana (energy) can heal ailments in the body by manipulation of the person's energy field. He states that Pranic healing is like acupuncture and yoga in that it treats the "energy body" which in turn affects the "physical body".

9. Yoga - Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine is a modern phenomenon which has been influenced by the ancient Indian practice of hatha yoga. It involves holding stretches as a kind of low-impact physical exercise, and is often used for therapeutic purposes. Yoga in this sense often occurs in a class and may involve meditation, imagery, breath work and music.

Both the meditative and the exercise components of hatha yoga have been researched for both specific and non-specific health benefits. Hatha yoga has been studied as an intervention for many conditions, including back pain, stress, and depression.
