Our today's lifestyle is rapidly becoming more chaotic, frantic, and hectic day by day. There seems to be no end or limit to how much we push ourselves and the expectations we set for ourselves and even others to achieve and accomplish more. We're made to believe that we cannot live a full life if we do not speed up and amissed all of these, we get our health entangled, lose our balance, and were exposed to constant consumption of medications just to survive. Holistic health and holistic healing help to keep you in shape and mind you, it's not just about your body because health and wellness do not revolve around your body alone.
Starting point is 00:04:41 When you welcome holistic healing into your daily living, you'll enjoy the additional benefits of the stunning wisdom it offers. And as you take a step towards holistic health, there are a few things you must first understand. What is holistic healing? Holistic or Holism is the same concept that relates to the significance of the whole and its interrelationship with its parts. Holistic healing itself is a wellness and health practice where there's consideration given to the totality of a person and all the affecting external and internal influences. This practice aims at maintaining or restoring balance in and out of an individual's diverse dimensions. It focuses on addressing the life of the individual in general, and all parts involved, and doesn't only maintain focus on a particular
Starting point is 00:05:35 illness or condition. Furthermore, this wellness and health practice puts into consideration the heart, the spirit, the body, the mind, and the totality of the person when offering treatments, and it's also explained to be the things we do to foster holistic health. Now, what is holistic health? Holistic health refers to a lifestyle that underlines the interconnectedness of the spirit, mind, and body. It's an approach to life, and it's an ideology that is governed by the belief that our interactions with our environment, and most especially, everything that makes us function
Starting point is 00:06:15 as a being produces the result of our health and wellness. Holistic help is a lifestyle that makes you conscious of your everyday actions and choices, because it's the sum of it all, as it makes you responsible for your well-being. Holistic healing is believed to be at the core of all medicine, and just as people have evolved, it has evolved too. As earlier mentioned, holistic healing is regarded to be the core foundation of all medicine, But despite the huge significance of this ancient healing, reuniting it with modern conventional medicine has been a great challenge.
Starting point is 00:06:54 But that is not the focus for now. Personal empowerment, natural elements, and the whole person are regarded to be the three properties that summarize the principles of holistic healing. Thousands of years ago, these perspectives came into light, and their weighty significance was recognized by ancient healers and thinkers. When one speaks of the foremost founders of holistic health, Socrates is regarded to be one of them, a very significant one indeed.
Starting point is 00:07:24 One of his popular expressions where he mentioned that, unless the whole is well, the part can never be well, is a clear reference to holistic health. Socrates didn't only understand how he must be responsible for our health, but he also saw how immensely valuable it is to think holistically, and his legacy as a founder of Western philosophy and a Greek philosopher does precede him. Besides Socrates, a notable contributor to holistic healing is Hippocrates in 400 BC. His Hippocrates School of Medicine laid a lot of emphasis on the power of healing embedded in nature,
Starting point is 00:08:05 and he's regarded to be the father of modern medicine. He's also one of those who believed in the ability of the body to self-revelled, heal if it's adequately fostered. However, take note that in all ancient health care, the foundational principle was holistic healing, even before the firm emergence of the Western medicine of Hippocrates. Traditional European medicine also referred to as Western herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda were among the most recognized ancient health solutions that focus on holistic healing. For more than 5,000, years Chinese medicine has existed, and it's still in existence. Till today, there are practices
Starting point is 00:08:49 of most of the methods, even as they developed into a multifarious diagnostic and treatment system. Per Chinese medicine, the human body possesses linked or allied systems, which are all contained in its small universe. Both subtle energies and physical elements are what influence its interactions. Also, it's essential to have a balance of energies like, like the spirit or shin and life force or chi. The father of surgery, known as Shusruta, wrote a text in the 6th century BC, which marked the origins of Ayurveda.
Starting point is 00:09:26 In India, this ancient medical tradition still exists. Three doshaes, which are referred to as biological energies, the body's seven primary elements, and the universe's five great elements, are recognized by the beliefs of the ancient practice of Ayurveda. The key to wellness lies in the agreement of these external and internal constituents, just like in Chinese medicine. Experts who practice the holistic health of Ayurvedic help their patients find moderation and balance with the adoption of eight treatment disciplines, which are referred to
Starting point is 00:10:03 as limbs or branches. They are reproductive and sexual enhancement, referred to as Vajikorana. Anti-aging and rejuvenation called Raseyana. Psychiatry called Buddha Vidya. Toxicology called Agata Tantra. Pediatrics and gynaecology called Kamarabritia. Treatment of the eyes called Shalakia Tantra. Surgery called Shalia Tantra. Internal medicine called Kaya Chiachi Kitsha. Herbal medicine can also be referred to as traditional medicine, traditional European medicine, or Western herbalism. In the history of mankind, it's regarded to be the oldest form of health care. Before the advancement and sophistication of today's medical treatments, the reliance on natural plants flourished,
Starting point is 00:11:00 and the medicinal properties of plants were explored and exploited to provide healing purposes. Conventional medicine is gradually welcoming the ideology of holistic healing. Although its reception and incorporation into the medical community are still in process, continuous progress is made as medical practitioners are now realizing the wonderful benefits of this ancient holistic healing and how fantastic it can be. Conventional medicine creates accommodation for holistic healing in the form of three areas of practice, which are integrative medicine, complementary medicine, and alternative medicine. Of all the three, alternative medicine is the most comprehensive. It comprises perform techniques and it split into three major categories,
Starting point is 00:11:51 the alternative practice areas, natural products, and mind-body techniques. Examples include osteopathic manipulation, cold water therapy, hypnotherapy, guided imagery, progressive relaxation, meditation, Riki, Shikong, Tai Shi, Yoga, Reflexology, aromatherapy, acupressure, and acupuncture. It involves anything found in nature. Dietary supplements along with herbs and botanicals are the two major sources. It involves around spiritual healing, energy healing, and homeopathy. These days, we have a heavy,
Starting point is 00:12:35 reliance on different professionals and experts to cater to our human needs. While some people have a spiritual advisor they talk to or belong to an organized religion to nurture their spirit, some people seek solutions regarding their emotional and mental health from a therapist. And similarly, some people have a private care physician they visit regularly, to be sure they're in a healthy, functional shape. However, while these diverse sources exist, there's a means to permeate these three connections, and this is where holistic therapy comes in. The care of the spirit, body, and mind is attended holistically with holistic therapy, which means that you don't have to consult a physician today, a therapist tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:13:23 and your religious leader the day after the next before you can attend to your health needs. What is holistic therapy? If you've understood the concept of holistic health and holistic healing, you'll have a clear understanding of what holistic therapy represents. This therapy is aimed at supporting healing and health by addressing the spirit, body, and mind. It shares some similarities with counseling or general therapy, but retains its uniqueness. As said by Linaya Smith Crawford, who is a holistic therapist, it has to do with the
Starting point is 00:13:58 assembling of one's aspects and layers in totality into a healthy space. It can also be explained to mean the combination of emotional and mental wellness with spirituality and physical involvement. In the mental health space, holistic therapy is beginning to gain more relevance and credibility. Many benefits offered by holistic therapy are consistently discussed in different pieces of research. Holistic therapy has been recognized to be significantly useful in reducing chronic pain, trauma, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, enhancing cognitive function, and improving overall mental well-being. Several studies have further highlighted the intriguing benefits of holistic therapy. Three distinct 2017 studies have affirmed that holistic therapy helps in
Starting point is 00:14:52 improving symptoms of depression, helps people with PTSD, lowers stress responses, and improves cognitive function. A 2021 systemic review also revealed that holistic therapy, through yoga specifically, helps immensely in the treatment of drugs, alcohol, and nicotine addiction. Holistic therapy can benefit most people generally, but according to experts, people with trauma, stress, depression, and anxiety, will find this therapy to be very helpful. Although trauma is seen to be a mental health condition, it has the tendency of exhibiting physical manifestations, which means that someone suffering from this condition may experience poor sleep, digestive issues, and loss of appetite, pelvic floor dysfunction, and or phantom
Starting point is 00:15:44 pains. However, most therapy often uniquely offers an opportunity to talk, but holistic therapy does provide a means to dig into the root of it all, to offer an all-around solution. Holistic therapy helps to reduce trauma responses, lower stress, and improve well-being by enhancing the connection of the mind, body, and spirit. Holistic therapy can be made up of different techniques, and complementary therapies are often included in holistic therapy. Examples include sound baths, reiki, cranial sacral therapy, grounding, Tai Chi, massage, acupuncture, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis, somatic experiencing, general therapy, stress management, meditation, and breath work.

This Japanese form of energy healing is acknowledged to reduce stress in certain caregivers, improve quality of life, and reduce anxiety and depression, according to a 2019-2021 study. Singing bowls are what's used for sound healing. These bowls help to create balance within the energy centers of the concerned organs. These chakra systems help to offer improved health with the vibrations they create. Breath work, just as the name sounds, it's obvious that it uses breathing in regulating the nervous
Starting point is 00:17:26 system. Although breathwork can be a bit tricky because it can trigger some people if it's not done with caution. It's acknowledged to be helpful for people with trauma, aid improvements in sleep, decrease anxiety, and of course, increase lung capacity. Nevertheless, it's often advised that this should be done. under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional. Meditation and yoga.

With mindfulness, movement, and breath, the connection between the mind, body, and spirit
Starting point is 00:18:16 can be enhanced by yoga. Acupuncture and massage. Acupuncture helps immensely in reducing pain and headaches, but it should only be done by a licensed practitioner because of the needle insertion process it involves.

Through light touch, you'll be made to feel relaxed with cranial sacral therapy.

You should speak to a licensed professional before you commence.

Starting point is 00:20:44 more energized or relaxed. If you do this and have this experience, you have just undergone a connection of the mind, body, and soul.

The mind, body, and soul connection. The mind, body, soul connection is something we all experience from time to time, but we're not just conscious enough to notice it.
Starting point is 00:21:27 If you've ever walked in a place filled with nature and you felt it deeply, or you got sick because you were stressed, these are experiences of the connection. To create health and harmony, you must find a balance between these three aspects by taking a holistic approach. While your actions, thoughts, and beliefs are rooted in your conscious and unconscious thinking mind, your body allows you to use your five senses to experience the world. And on the other hand, your soul, which may also be referred to as your spirit,
Starting point is 00:22:02 is your essence, which you can easily connect to via faith, religious, or through meditating, yoga and nature time.

You can suffer physical sickness in the body through a mental illness or imbalance, and you can gain clarity with a healthy mind. There's a linkage between the brain and the mind. Your body isn't just a figure. It works with the gut brain. While it enables you to become fit to handle some of life's challenges, it also furnishes you with energy, vitality, and strength. Mind you, your mental fitness, emotional well-being, mental wellness, and mood can be massively influenced by your physical health. For you to enjoy positive emotions like a sense of connectedness, a sense of purpose, kindness and compassion for people, emotional resilience, joy and gratitude, you need to have a healthy soul. The heart-brain connection harmonizes with the soul. Tips to strengthen your mind,
Starting point is 00:23:22 body, and soul. There are certain steps you can take to uniquely strengthen your mind, body, and soul. For most, you shouldn't forget that when you take care of your soul, you're doing good to other parts of you and the same goes for the other two areas. Thus, you must be intentional about being practical with these tips. One, meditate. Meditation helps you become calm in stressful situations, and it makes you more conscious of your negative thought patterns. Meditation comes in different forms. Guided meditation can help you if you're a newbie, and you can as well use activities such as drawing or movement like dancing to meditate. Two, learn something new.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Don't bore your mind. Regardless of your age, stay committed to maintaining your mental fitness by learning a new instrument, a language, or a skill.

It could be writing, drawing, painting, talking, or anything. Five, take time off. It's a very busy world. We're all occupied trying to keep our heads up. Nevertheless, don't forget to relax and recuperate. This is very crucial. Number six, have a growth mindset. Life is not a bed of roses, unfortunately. and because of this, you must brace yourself for the unexpected.
Starting point is 00:25:35 However, don't see it as evil, but see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. On the road to success, you'll come across different bumps, but know that they're just launching pads to greatness. Number seven, exercise. When it comes to strengthening your body, you should know that exercise comes first. Exercise helps to maintain the brain health. It relieves stress, elevates your mood, and ultimately gives you the healthy body you deserve. To be consistent with your exercise, make sure you do the kind that gives you joy. 8. Eat a balanced diet. Are you what you eat? What have you been eating?
Starting point is 00:26:20 In case you don't know, your beliefs, dealings, and thoughts are influenced by what you eat, because once you take in food, it immediately becomes part of you, as it transforms to be the cells. Reduce consumption of unhealthy beverages and foods and eat more fruits and vegetables, drinking up water, too. Number nine, practice gratitude. Gratitude works like magic for the soul, body, and mind. While it can help you feel good, it can also inspire you to get up and do what you must do. It also helps to train your brain to look for the good and ignore the bad and negative thoughts. Number 10. Spend time in nature. There are lots of benefits awaiting you when you spend time in nature.
Starting point is 00:27:09 A study on eco-psychology has already shown this. Experts recommend that two hours weekly in nature is not excessive. 11. Connect with something greater than yourself. Look for a greater purpose. While volunteering and activism can help to provide you with a greater purpose, if you're secular, joining a religious community will as well help if you belong to a faith. Number 12. Be kind to yourself and others. This life is hard already, but we can make it more pleasant with our kindness and compassion. Don't let the compassion you exude before others alone. Be self-compassionate too. It will help you find peace and love. The body and the mind have an existing complex and intimate relationship, which is called the mind-body connection.
Starting point is 00:28:05 This connection permeates the cells and systems of your body. A lot has already been said about how your body is affected by your thinking and feeling, given the connection between the body and the mind. For instance, if you start feeling and thinking negatively, you're prone to become stressed and consequently end up. with an illness or pain. Now imagine the opposite. Let's say you think positively. You're bound to experience better mental and physical wellness. One thing you should know is that the brain is not a one-man soldier. While it also relies on the body to be healthy, it also has a strong influence on the body, which may ultimately impact your interactions with the world. To feel your best and get your mind-body connection fueled, you can
Starting point is 00:28:55 make use of these simple four ways. Get moving. Self-awareness and self-actualization. Breathe. Indulge in meditation and mindfulness. These four tips will be well explained later. As humans, we have emotions running in us and due to that, our body can manifest certain emotions such as depression, anger, guilt, sadness, and fear, which can lead to imbalances and illnesses. your body experiences a physical reaction to your emotional state. While one can have headaches due to tension, one may also experience an upset stomach due to fear. Likewise, you can start experiencing stomach problems, headaches, and tense muscles if you're always stressed or worried about your finances.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I do have a friend who would start having stomach upset and would need to use the toilet whenever he felt scared. This is just to show the connection between the mind and the body. Besides the mind's influence on the body, there's also vice versa. That is, your body can negatively or positively impact your mental state as well. Several studies have shown that in disease and healing, the mind is significantly involved and contributes massively to the process. According to the World Health Organization, many employees go through anxiety and stress at their workplace, and this burnout can lead to gastrointestinal issues or respiratory problems because
Starting point is 00:30:31 of the overproduction of stress hormones. Now that you've seen how vital it is for your body, mind, and spirit to agree, you need to ensure that the connection remains strong and free of injuries, more so with the use of a mix of spiritual, emotional, and physical tools. You can prevent disease and heal the mind and body. To transform your physical wellness and get inner peace, you need to learn to process your emotions by making use of mind-body approaches. Practice meditation and mindfulness. It's quite heartbreaking that many people still think meditation practice or regular mindfulness is overrated, but this is because many are yet to connect with the awesome benefits involved. Meditation can help
Starting point is 00:31:20 you center your mind and make you feel more present. This valuable tool, when practice regularly, can help to tackle all the harmful stress hormones clogged in your body and aid the regulation of neurochemical patterns and emotional responses. Meditation helps to shift your attention from what has happened or what will happen to what is happening today. It frees your mind from the murkiness of anxiety and offers you an opportunity to have your feelings and thoughts organized and get your brain relaxed. These days, practicing meditation has been made easy. There are certain apps like Headspace where you can see the basics of meditation and you can even watch videos on YouTube to be sure. So get on with it. Do you ever wonder why people who are panicking or
Starting point is 00:32:14 anxious are often told to take a deep breath. It's simply due to the power this simple act holds in making you feel revitalized and calming your mind in very short minutes. As reported by the American Institute of Stress, you can reduce stress and anxiety daily by engaging in daily 20 to 30 minutes of abdominal breathing. Mind you, beware of shallow breathing for it can make you susceptible to an array, of psychological and mental issues, including depression and anxiety, because it doesn't supply enough oxygen. Sometimes, all we need to do is to take simple deep breaths, but we can be too stubborn to believe that it's something as simple as that we need to feel better. So, take deep breaths. Do it now. Do it often. It's simple and free. Self-awareness and self-actualized.
Starting point is 00:33:14 A lot of people do not understand who they are and this is where self-awareness comes into play. You need to brace yourself to gain a better level of self-awareness because with this, you'll begin to find answers to certain things and you'll be able to create the kind of life you desire and even change things about yourself. Self-awareness is a form of empowerment that comes through being conscious to enable you to apply necessary changes for your improvement. Self-actualization, on the other hand, isn't the same thing as self-awareness. It's a step further from self-awareness because it propels you towards actualizing your potential after you've discovered yourself through self-awareness.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Our emotions can play different tricks on us. One minute, we're on top of the world. The next we feel like the world is a piece of something else. But then, you should know that you can make yourself feel energized or tired. or happy or sad, depending on what you do. What is that simple solution to create a positive effect on your mind and body? Get up and move. Yeah, move.
Starting point is 00:34:27 There are lots of things and ideas to help you get moving, and I'll suggest you consider a yoga exercise. This can help to make you feel relaxed, boost your self-confidence, accelerate your sense of well-being, and most importantly, heal your mind-body, connection. Yoga does an amazing job to the body and mind concurrently because it helps to maintain the balance of cortisol in your body by producing more endorphins, and it helps your organs work better by improving blood flow and releasing muscle tension.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Incredible ways to self-heal in minutes. A lot of people often think self-healing is an extremely difficult or complex thing to do, but it isn't. Depending on how knowledgeable you are, it can be very fast and easy to channel your body's energy. Self-healing is like switching to a more comfortable channel from channels with pessimistic news. You can alter your energy frequency by using your feelings and thoughts, and when you understand how to channel your body's energy, you'll be able to self-heal. Normally, your body is already built to self-heal. Therefore, it can recover itself from an injury.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So, self-healing isn't something new at all. It's a unique direction you can turn to for a magical and soothing experience. You should also know that your life can be changed spiritually, emotionally, mentally, mentally and physically if you have a strong intention. There are simple tips you can use to heal yourself in just a few minutes. Mind your breath. This is the first phase. Find a comfortable place to sit and be conscious of your breath.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Now, take note that there isn't any specific mandatory breathing pattern you must follow. All you must do is breathe in and out and keep observing the flow. This process will make you feel centered and clear your mind and make you free from disturbing thoughts. Use your palms. For about 30 to 60 seconds, have your palms together in your front and feel the warmth they offer as you do. derive friction from rubbing them together.
Starting point is 00:36:47 While you keep rubbing your hands, maintain a faint smile. The smile also plays a role in impacting your mood and making you feel better. Keep your hands six to eight inches away. Make yourself feel the energy by making your hands face each other and maintaining the recommended space. Note that this energy is already present. All you need to do is to awaken your consciousness. with your intention to make it resurface.
