As you can see, I've dabbled in blogging for a long time. I decide it was time to get serious about it because I truly want you to understand just how important and life changing holistic methods can be. My goal is to help you better understand how holistic healing works and why it is so important for your overall health.
Okay, here’s my disclaimer: The information provided in this blog is for educational purposes only, and is not intended to be a diagnosis, treatment or prescription for any disease. The decision to use, or not to use, any of the information is the sole responsibility of the listener. Please consult with a licensed health care practitioner if you are dealing with a serious disease or illness.
Now that I’ve got that out of the way, let’s move on. This blog is about helping to educate you so that you can make an informed decision about which path to take, traditional or some call it western medicine or holistic or natural health. I’m going to provide you with as much information as I can, without overwhelming you, in order to start this process.
I looked up the definition of medicine and found this description: The science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. I’ll let you decide if you think that is really what traditional medicine does. I’ll go along with the first two, but I personally don’t think they’re into prevention, but that’s just my opinion.
I also looked for the definition of holistic health and found what I thought was spot on: The definition of holistic health is simple and inclusive. It is your overall state of wellness on all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It covers the health of your entire being and extends to your relationships, resources and environment.
Although we've become accustomed to examining and treating each of these areas separately, holistic health or wellness implies the health of the whole. In reality, your body, mind and spirit are completely intertwined and cannot be separated. They are aspects of the whole, not separate entities. To affect one level, either positively or negatively, influences your entire being.
Once people truly grasp the importance of the mind-body-spirit-relationship, and address well-being on all levels, the more likely we are to see remarkable healing occur.
Before I go any further, I thought I’d tell you a little bit about myself and why I made the decision to get into this type of work. I really don’t like to call it work, because I’m very passionate about what I do and don’t really consider it work, I consider it a pleasure to help people get healthier using holistic methods.
As a child growing up I remember my Mother, bless her heart, who is no longer alive, was always going to the doctor. It seemed like if she didn’t have something wrong, she’d find something. I don’t know if I’d describe her as a hypochondriac, but she was probably pretty close. Even though I didn’t realize it until I got older, my Mother suffered from deep depression and actually had two shock therapy treatments. You realize of course that when I think of that now, I simply shudder from the thought of it. I am very grateful and thankful because even though she suffered, and that makes me sad, it helped me to be who I am today.
I’ll just mention it briefly, I have many clients that come to me for help that are suffering from depression and are able to get some relief fairly quickly. I’ll talk more about that at a later date.
Anyway, on with my short story. I made a decision fairly early on, that if I had anything to do about it, I was not going to live a life of taking prescription drugs and going to doctors and to this day, I don't. I thought about becoming a nurse, many years ago, but it just didn’t work out for me. Maybe because this is really what the Lord had in mind for me and I just didn’t know it at the time. I started on a path of self-improvement and have been on that path ever since. I guess we’re talking at least 30+ years. 13+ years ago, I was introduced to a method of holistic healing called PSYCH-K, which stands for psychological kinesiology and that changed my life forever. I took the training to be a practitioner and during that training, I discovered that this was to be my calling, or at least one of them and the rest is what they say is ……. history.
My reason for writing a blog is to help as many people as I can, understand exactly how holistic healing works, so I think the best place to start is at the beginning. The bible says that God created heaven and earth. How did He create it… out of matter. I think Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 proved that everything in the universe is energy. The physical existence of our reality and the abstract reality of our mind are made from an energy pattern. The concept of a universal energy is not a new one. Chinese people call this energy chi and the ancient Hindus called it prana. Two of the arts that come out of those cultures - t'ai chi and yoga, are based on the art of tapping into the flow of energy and using it to balance one’s self. When we are balanced we feel harmony not only in our bodies, but in our whole lives, which includes our relationships, and our entire environment. Any energy balancing process is actually the act of balancing ourselves with the great universal flow of energy. Absolutely everything that you see, hear, touch, know and don’t know is energy. Atoms vibrate at different frequencies and form matter. In our physical world the only thing that separates a piano from a rock is the rate at which they vibrate. Even non-physical matter such as memories, thoughts and feelings are forms of energy with their own frequency and magnetic signature. Before I go on, I suggest you go to my archives and read my post in August, 2017.
I think that will give you enough food for thought for now, so I'll bid you adieu.
Until next time,
Ginny
