Integral vision of being
Are human beings just flesh, bones, and mind?
What is an illness, really?
Is healing merely an act to silence the symptom?
When we face physical or mental discomfort, fundamental questions about our health arise. How do we handle a cold, muscle pain, or more complex challenges like cancer or diabetes? Modern medicine, alongside scientific research, has started to delve into something crucial: an illness is not just the visible symptom.Its roots may lie in hormonal, intestinal, emotional, or even energetic imbalances.
Every illness that enters our lives can be understood as a message. It’s a wake-up call to reflect on and act upon the deeper aspects of our being. If we only focus on suppressing the symptom, we risk the illness persisting, growing, or transforming. This is why more medical and therapeutic approaches are adopting an integrative perspective.They acknowledge that human beings are not merely physical matter. There are energetic bodies that directly influence our health, and when imbalanced, they can trigger physical and emotional ailments.
Healing from this perspective doesn’t mean choosing between the physical and the energetic. Instead, it involves understanding the body as a whole.It is complex system where matter, tissues, fluids, thoughts, feelings, and energy constantly interact. By addressing healing from multiple angles—processing trauma, balancing hormones, healing memories, and restoring energy—we don’t just address the symptoms; we go to the root of the illness.
Healing is an act of integration. It’s about allowing all parts of our being—from the tangible to the subtle—to find harmony. In doing so, we give ourselves the opportunity not just to overcome illness but to transform into a more conscious, whole, and balanced being.
This holistic approach reminds us that there is no single path to healing. Body, mind, emotions, and energy work together. And when we understand this connection, we begin to unlock the infinite potential we have for healing.
