HOLISTIC ASPECTS OF MASSAGE
What primarily distinguishes holistic healing apart from alternative , complementary or integrative medicine is that your physical health is not necessarily the main focus. Even so for most of us it is often the experience of physical or emotional pain and discomfort that will first prompt a interest and search for wellness the essence of holistic healing.
It is true that our pains and other physical discomforts demand our attention they shout loudly or complain to us they let us know there not happy. Therefore it really is difficult to ignore the obvious when we are physically hurting. Common sense often in the form of pain tells us that we should seek help to alleviate our discomforts.
Holistic healing is not an “alternative” to conventional medical care but aims to support and re- energise and balance long before the disease process manifests. Sometimes going to a medical professional is the best solution to dis-ease. Unfortunately when when the body is influenced in a strong manner by chemical based drugs there can be side effects that may cause further imbalance.
Physical illnesses are really the manifestation of a greater imbalance that often has often taken a long time to develop through many episodes over many years. In part ” burn out “ , chronic fatigue or metabolic diseases may or may not have a root cause in the physical.
Holistic or ” wholistic ” healing addresses all parts of the individual, body and spirit. Not just the physical aspect of a person where manifested illnesses are most apparent we look wider and possibly deeper into who you are and the ways you live. 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 and well being.
