Volume 2

A Holistic Approach to Health and Healing

The holistic approach to health care treats the "whole" person when they are feeling "dis-eased." It looks at the cause and not just the symptoms. To treat someone holistically means to treat their mind, body and spirit. Treatment of symptoms is not enough. Eliminating the cause of illness is what is vital. Treatment should not be viewed as working on a specific part of the body alone. This book is an overview of many modalities including mandalas, art, music, guided imagery, body reading, auras, chakras, touch, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy and Shiatsu as part of a holistic approach to health and healing. Any avenues that open and enhance the body’s natural senses are beneficial in the healing world because by enhancing the senses, you bring a feeling of life and awareness into your life.

Yogic Movement

Yogic movement is the foundation of gentle exercise. The exercises include slow, conscious movement with an awareness of your bodily tension guiding you through relevant stretching exercises with your breath in order to release any physical tension. One main value of Yogic Movement is its ability to enhance your awareness of bodily tension and offer solutions through direct experience on how to dispel it. You can use these exercises 2 or 3 times a week or whenever you are aware of physical tension in your body.

CD 3
Autogenic Relaxation

In autogenic training, the aim is to induce specific physical sensations that are associated with the relaxation response. By introducing one factor of the relaxation response, you can break the chain of physiological reactions that take place during the course of the stress response. Warmth and heaviness are two common words used in the exercises. Warmth is your perception of increased flow through the body unlike in the stress response where the circulation can be constricted. Heaviness is your perception of the skeletal muscles relaxing, unlike the stress response when muscles contract.

Passive Progressive Relaxation

This relaxation exercise involves counting and breath awareness along with focusing on different parts of the body for the purpose of deep relaxation. Counting provides a rhythm for the exercise and provides the suggestion for relaxation to deepen during the course of the count down. Counting back up from 1 to 10 raises the conscious awareness again and brings about a post-relaxation grounding effect while still maintaining the feelings of deep relaxation.
