Long way back Aprihon had said “Health, the greatest of all we count as blessing “which can be believed even today. No matter how sophisticated, high standard life you live; it definitely doesn’t gives you a great health.
Our life is racing so intensely, where we neglect the most important and the most prior purpose for our race “To Live Healthy “. Like the saying goes by Everett.M.Dickerson “A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you’re talking big money”. Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling the vacuum it creates a one larger vacuum ill health.
It’s not just because of money but stressors like emotional distress are the big influences for bad health. The worse is your health the more you mess up with your soul. The tiredness of the body is the health of your soul. It is very important to guard your body as it guards your soul. We take our body so much for granted, we never care the words “ take care “; if this words are really implemented the success of our life will roar and will be heard loud and clear through the entire universe.
No doubt, no one can take care of our health best, and then we ourselves but, definitely Medical Science assist us more prominently. They have achieved huge success in eradicating a number of diseases, making illness short and less painful with great inventions of new equipment for diagnosis and treatment. But I guess this huge success has gulped down the worth of mankind, we are losing the faith and taking human bodies as machines. They are bothered about the patient or the respective person but they care more about their illness.
But like great invention come wrapped with lot of time and patience, luckily time has favored us with Holistic Health Movement which was born in California (U.S.A) and continues to blossom worldwide.
There are great and some extra ordinary people who support this practice. People like Albert Einstein (1923), Heisenberg (1958), Chardin (1965), Stapp (1971), Bohm (1975) and many other scientists have supported the holistic approach.
According to The Theory Of Relativity, Albert Einstein described “The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself and time by itself are doomed to fade away into mere shadows and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independently reality”
Good doctors have contributed immensely to holistic health. Good doctors just not treat the disease but also treat the patients. W.H.Auden have beautifully described essence of doctor “A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
No doubt there are some doctors who have created legends and their treatment leave no questions. Like late Dr.Michel Balient an international psychoanalyst, and to great extent contributed to holistic health have wrote in his book ‘ The Doctor, His Patient and the illness’ ( 1957 ) : “The discussion quickly revealed, certainly not for the first in the history of medicine, that by far the most frequently used drug in medicine practice was the doctor himself. It was not only the bottle of medicine or the box of pills that mattered, but the way the doctor gave them to the patient-in fact the whole atmosphere in which the drug was given and taken”
The real doctors are the ones who gave importance to study the patient’s mind along with the body. It will be great help if they emphasis on improving patient and doctor relationships. Like evergreen quote “An apple a day keeps the doctor away “can be reversed if this relationships improve.
And this is what holistic health is trying to do. And fore mostly they focus on making a healthy soul. The soul is not where lives are but where it loves. “You don’t have a soul. You have body, your body has soul”. It will be unfair on our part if we don’t share the objectives and ways to create a healthy soul.
• Like the earlier saying clarifies that you don’t have a soul, it is body that you own having a soul so it is necessary to create an awareness about the acceptance of this fact. Therefore, craving of material pleasures creates a vicious circle resulting in more and more sorrows, disappointments, restlessness and emotional swings. Re-establishing the true awareness of being a conscious point of divine light and might between the eyebrows is a positive step towards a healthy soul.
• Friedrick Nietzsche had quoted “There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.” And this exactly holistic preaches that soul is originally a peaceful, blissful, pious and powerful being. We just need to believe in this fact and have a undefeatable faith in our soul. Our soul will definitely lead us to the great path of life in we just BELIEVE IN IT.
• Thomas Edison; while discovering the electric bulb; he failed many times but nothing stopped him from hard work. On asked by few people about his failures he answered “I have not failed. I have just found 10000 ways that won’t work “which I guess was one of the best answers and his optimism did pay him. The miracle just happened because one word “POSITIVE THINKING “. Affirmative and positive thoughts regain the soul. A LITTLE FAITH WILL BRING YOUR SOUL TO HEAVEN, BUT A LOT OF FAITH WILL BRING HEAVEN TO YOU.
• Its been said that the destiny craved on your left hand is given to you by god and the one on right hand is created through own karma, through own actions. Every human being is born good, life offers you temptations, lust, greed on every step, and nice person is one who knows where to stop and which way to go. This thinking itself develops the soul and created happiness within your soul.
Life is a blessing. Its upon us how we mould it and where we take it. This are some amazing principles on which Holistic Treatment works on and sooner or later the world will definitely follow this path. As for me I have already taken this path its upon you where you have walk. Think about it!
