Physical Health: The Need for Holistic Healing Approach

How many times does it happen that we have a severe headache and we pop a ‘pain killer’ to get relief from our symptoms?  Maybe a few times or many. It varies from person to person. If a headache happens rarely, we don’t bother to look into the reason behind it but if it happens frequently then it’s something that requires a deeper investigation.  

We must be aware that–‘Our Mind is the invisible Body’ and ‘Our Body is the visible Mind.’ To make it simple, our Mind and Body are interrelated. This is an already established fact by philosophers, medical professionals and intellects of varied professions across the globe including ‘Hippocrates–The Father of Modern Medicine.’ Despite, this truth being known to us for centuries we look for the solution mostly to physical health diseases at the physical level only. We resort to medicines and more and more medicines! 

In today’s world where there are more hospitals than playgrounds, we are required to look deeper and introspect–what are we fundamentally doing wrong? One of the many reasons is the lack of emotional awareness. In an economically driven world today, emotions have little to say. It’s important here to mention our emotions have much more depth than we can imagine or easily comprehend. They are the innate navigation instruments to help us manoeuvre through the journey of Life. Unfortunately, we listen less to our emotions and more to notifications on our phones! When we don’t give ourselves enough time to listen to ourselves or our emotions then they may start speaking to us through our bodies in the form of diseases (as said by Louise Hay, the state of not being at ease.) 

Diseases definitely have deeper layers to them. They are not just physical. Along with medicines, it’s equally important to deal with them at the mental, emotional and energetic levels! Clinical Hypnotherapy is one such holistic healing modality, which helps heal the disease from its root cause. 

We shall be talking more about diseases and their healing in our next blog. Stay tuned!
