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 Energy Healing?
The Energy Healing offered at The Lighted Path is a system of natural healing that uses the Divine healing energy that
is all around us to help the body heal itself. This healing energy helps relieve the physical symptoms of many
dis-eases and conditions. This energy helps you experience a sense of peace and wellbeing. More importantly, this
is a system of healing that helps you open your heart to the blessings of the Creator.
As running water smooths the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, this healing energy flows to
the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself.
What is metaphysics?
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy investigating principles of reality transcending those of any particular
science. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, the development of modern science, being an empirical and
experimental activity, led to the term 'science' being used to distinguish it from philosophy. More recently, the term
'metaphysics' has been employed by non-philosophers to refer to subjects that are beyond the physical world.
These often include esoteric topics on spirits, faith healing, crystal power, occultism and other such topics.
