A HEALING STATE OF MIND

The mind is a thing of habits. What our minds and spirits want more than anything is predictable behaviors and experiences. Yes, you may have an adventurous spirit. You may be the type that thrives on change. But your mind wants things it can wrap its head around. It wants to be a ble to create a set of instructions that it can employ over and over. Our mind aclimates to suffering just as much if not more than it does healing. Suffering is far more familiar than health. This is why there are many forms of healing we must be mentally ready to accept.

LIFE REFLECTED THROUGH OUR HEALING PROCESS

Here we go again. I go down this path all the time in this teaching practice because life is a thing of that which we can predict, maybe even control, and that which we cannot predict nor control. This has everything to do with our understanding and approach to healing.

THE CASCADING ORDER OF INFLUENCES

Where do we begin? There are arguments abound as to what is more critical in our worlds of healing. Is diet? Is it exercise? Is it stress management? Is it mediciations?

THE WHOLISTIC VIEW OF HEALING

Look at it like this. We could look at a car and say, my tire is worn and I need a new tire but I am going to wait. Every mechanic knows that that isn't just about your tire. It is going to throw your car out of alignemnt. When we don;t put oil in our car this isn't about the oil, it's about everything else that is going to break because of the lack of oil. The point is that. much like any working vehicle, we are systems. If we look at things as isolted things within us, kidneys, livers, arms and brains, we ignore the nature of one thing to affect, sometimes profoundly, another. A wholistic view of health is not a crazy new age thing. It is a logic driven recognition that systems, including biologiacl ones, are things that are inter reliant. One unhealthy thing cascades through our system to the next.

THE EXPANDING WORLD OF GENETICS

We have entered the era of genetic based medicine. Is that a good thing? It is important to reflect on the idea of genetics as this is the "biological technology" that is taking center stage in the medical world. Yes, there are many promising things about it, yet the realm of gentics is still prone to our human ability not fully understand what we are doing, to make assumptions, and pursue money at the expense of wisdom. .
