How can local healers help you in healing your mind?

A new vision of wellness is emerging that dovetails with a holistic way of looking at health, linking ancient and proven healing models with modern lifestyle choices to promote effective health changes. Choices matter—and the possibility of natural self-healing consists of a continuous style of living where self-care issues daily.

Many - from Local Healers, physicians, healthcare workers, progressive consumers, and even knowledgeable patients seeking alternative care—have become disillusioned by the traditional and conventional interpretation of healing and what defines good health.

Emotional and Spiritual Self - Healing

A health care revolution is emerging mainly based on insights from ancient traditions where healing and spirituality are linked. These ancient models come from traditions that are very much alive today—and have never been dormant (such as Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine). They are embraced by cultures worldwide and tailored to their specific needs.

Evidence-based research also strongly supports the ancient view of the human body as more than a mere life-support system. Instead, our bodies are "vehicles" we must enhance for lifelong wellness and to realize our versions of perfect health.

These ancient healthcare models, which come to us as teachings, practices, and even rituals, provide us with new ways to understand the link between the body and mind. Our body and mind, as well as our attitudes and behaviors, are, in fact, an integral part of health care and one of the essential elements of the self-healing process itself.

Principles of the Mind-Body Approach

Ancient teachings and modern science increasingly concur: Your body, mind, and emotions are part of one integrated system, and when you influence one aspect of your system, you affect all of it mentioned by Local Healers. Whatever point you begin from —whether it's your body, thoughts, or emotions—you can change the totality of your system and your body's ability to physically and emotionally self-heal.

This means that activating your body positively or negatively can have a positive or negative impact on your mind. And whatever emotional responses you have affected what you do and say and how you physically function or behave. You're less likely to be creative, upbeat, or calm when physically tired or ill. Or, when you're emotionally depressed or down, your posture may reflect how you feel. Everything that is "you" is connected.

Recognizing that you as a human being operate as a whole system helps you find better ways to achieve and maintain your health. The art and science of wellness come from understanding the importance and power of your body's dual control—the mind-body connection—as the source and hope of self-healing itself.

This challenge leads us back to "self-awareness"—of our physical health, mental focus, moods, behaviors, and values. The more we know about ourselves and others who are important to us, the more we make our unconscious conscious, gain clarity to see more of the truth, and develop mind-body skills essential for thriving in a complex world.
