Health and wholeness, healing, and 'wellness' is for
me so much like an indescribable ‘harnessing together’ of my being, spirit, soul, and body, it's in my
dna.
Who else but our Creator has the power and grace to make us ‘whole’ like that? That's why for me it's an honor and my greatest privilege and purpose in life
to live it, breathe it, to share and to teach it.
But we can play our part by finding the
right balance of faith, food, and fitness, the simplest formula to achieve sustainable health and wholeness i know.
By staying close to the inner (spiritual) life, and through balanced
nutrition and exercise, health, healing & wholeness, is, i firmly believe, a realistic, achievable, daily expectation. If
this is your goal, and you need some help to get there, why not consider some coaching or a consultation.
As I persisted and advanced along ‘the
way’ to sustainable health, training under different ‘masters’ around the planet, somewhere along
'the way' the penny dropped and i discovered what wholistic means
"It is not so important to know
what kind of problem (or disease) a person is having
as it is to know what kind of person is having a problem (or disease)."
Anton Jayasuriya
This approach is wholistic. In wholistic
medicine we are not in separate compartments. We take the entirety of the person, see the imbalance and try to balance the
energy.
Western scientific medicine is a chemical medicine. Each has its’ own area, therefore
each is not the truth by itself.
Most certainly the record of scientific medicine is brilliant, but there are a
number of blemishes. The first shortfall is that scientific western medicine is only a medicine for our material body. Secondly, the most spectacular things that we have discovered
- antibiotics, penicillin, streptomycin, aureomycin, and so many other sins - are sins to our body, the unnecessary use of
many of these antibiotics has created a number of monsters including many resistant forms of bacteria and parasites.
With all these health problems
that are looming, what kind of medicine are we going to use? That is going to be a critical question. That is why we must
remember that all medicine was made by man and that man himself is imperfect; therefore all these different medicines we have
made are imperfect. In that humble
spirit, we must learn to take the best of all medicines and combine them, integrate them to produce a better medicine for
the next century.
All these compartments
of western, eastern, traditional, and ayerveda are all quirks of history. That is why we have to get together and structure a
better medicine - an integrated medicine - for the next century, to restore health, for all and for our planet. Wholistic
Medicine is the subject of my first film series: A Better Medicine.
