With this, my very first blog, I'd like to share the vision and scope I see for the discussions herein. I will be discussing all things Holistic, especially as it relates to how the human body functions, and, in particular, how it naturally heals itself. This, in the context of environmental influences on that healing process, and how to promote and optimize the influences that support that process while minimizing those that detract from it. This inquiry, in my experience, affords the opportunity to witness and encourage the magnificent resilience of body, and the innate drive it has to heal and be well.
To that end, let us take a look at the term Holism. In a nutshell, the term describes a viewpoint that considers that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. For example, a Holistic view of the human body sees the body not as a linear summation of many different parts that work more or less in isolation of one another, but rather a coherent, purposive, cooperative, intelligent whole, wherein every part functions with the consciousness or awareness of the whole in mind. I find this viewpoint to be absolutely necessary if one is to begin to make sense of how the human body actually heals itself.
May this mark the beginning of many interesting, timely, pertinent, relevant, imaginative, and practical discussions of all things related to the Holism of Self Healing.
Thank you for reading.
