Healing All, The Holistic Way

The word “heal” derives from the ancient Greek, which means “to make whole”. Etymologically, this traces back to the Indo-European word “kailo”, which means “whole, holy, hallowed, sacred”. So when we heal, it is a holy act of bringing the parts, fragmented, ignored, subconscious or lost, back into harmonious wholeness.

I will say that 99% of the healing then, involves “remembering” (to reconnect members with love), forgiveness and sustaining a healthy, joyful, loving, optimistic and compassionate attitude.

Remembering is putting the parts together. Osiris’ body was dismembered, and spread through the land of Egypt, with his most sensitive member tossed into the sea. In the myth, the Kingdom was re-united when Osiris’ body was re-membered,

Forgiveness is an act of love toward oneself and other blended with understanding. It doesn’t mean you forget (otherwise you’d eventually have to re-member…) It breeds humility and compassion. It’s very healthy and even a portal to the heart.

Who do we want to forgive? Well, probably everyone! and especially those closest to us. When we cast our eye down our ancestral tree, we see ourselves reflected like an ancient mirror. In psychology, we always look at the family, whether it’s with a psychoanalytic perspective or that of Family Therapy, there’s no escaping it.

In Total Biology, the approach known well in Europe, especially France, that I introduced some years ago to the U.S. through a series of seminars here in NY and a series of TV and radio shows with its founder and some of its top teachers, we explore the generations and look at something a well-known French psychotherapist originated called “The Magic Square”: there are specific, mathematically-defined relationships between different sibling positions and different generations. In short, we see that we are the contemporary expression of an elaborate Family Tree.

When I was in Jerusalem many years ago, I met with a Rabbi who specialized in identifying lineages through the name going back to the original tribes. I watched him do this and was stunned at the process. It was like a walking, talking Bible: Sarah begat Melinda begat Susan begat Veronica and going all the back, to ____Eve?

From the point of view of healing, you could say that each successive generation is carrying on the emotional conflicts from the generation before in order to forgive and resolve them, to make the Self and the Family Whole.

Attitude is the way we hold ourselves, physically, psychologically, ontologically. Ballet dancers stand ‘in attitude”. We read and know others by their attitude. Attitude accounts for the differences between us–the same conditions yield different results in and with people depending on their attitude! Our cells respond to what we hold in mind, in heart, what thoughts and feelings, what images we maintain. Keep them healthy, happy, joyful, and get cells that respond accordingly. The body is like a mirror of the soul: let it smile, and the body’s health will smile with you.

Food and drink can also be powerful medicine, poignant healing. Eating a healthy diet chockful of of greens, lots of fresh, alive, pure water, lots of different spices and flavors, herbs galore, can both heal and sustain health by nourishing us/detoxifying us on a cellular level. Feed the body live, delicious food, rich with chlorophyll and enzymes–it’s among the Food of the Gods.

Using our bodies as they were designed to be used, helps with digestion and building vitality. Expanding lung power is the greatest correlate, studies show, of both longevity and healthy longevity. It also keep the brain and nervous system awake and clear as does healthy eating and keeping fully hydrated.

Managing stress, which is directly a function of the mind, the way we maintain thoughts and which ones, goes far in determining our state of health, perhaps more than anything. What we hold in mind that causes stress or well-being, is a direct consequence of our perception, out of which come our belief systems, our world-views, our assumptions about life. The same outer event can have opposite effects on two, same-aged, same backgrounded people depending on their perception/interpretation of ‘what happened’. This, of all things, is pivotal in defining our stress or our happiness and joy.

This is why our health is so much in our hands. Relating to our past, our families, our current conditions, our relationship to ourselves, to our mind, big mind and small mind, our bodies, our attitudes, our lifestyle choices, our relationship choices, all of this, our state of mind, care of our body as vehicle, talking to our organs and cells, to the Spirit of these (primary in Chinese Medicine), forgiveness, love and participation in life, contributing, giving, all gives us a fuller, holistic health profile. Thinking it’s one of these without care for the others, is missing the systemic, holistic nature of the Universe. Quiet mind, active body, well nourished, full of love, kindness, humor (be in good humor!) and compassion, altogether does Health make. Let’s remember the influence of mind and language directly on the body. Remember the wisdom of the body and that of Total Biology which shows us that illness, no matter what the name, is resolved through the resolution of emotional conflicts, present and ancestral.

Healing is holistic by definition. To become a whole human being, our body-mind-spirit need to be integrated and aligned in one harmonious, balanced, emanating, life-loving, humor-producing whole. Otherwise we get tipped to one side and that’s the domain of confusion, uncertainty, fear and illness. Keep walking the tightrope and you’ll have a life full of love, light and balance. In a way, so simple: think well, do well, feel well. Eat well, sleep well, and love all, right up and down the ancestral lines, resolve conflicts, emotional and otherwise, in each direction of the circle, stay cool, use your body a lot, work with and hone your attention so it can be diffused or a laser by choice, learn to let go of that which does not serve you both in your conscious and subconscious minds (yes, make it conscious and let it go!), and God knows, you’ll be aligned with the Tao.

Meditate, pray for the highest Good for Humankind, sentient life, life on Earth, make lots of jokes and laugh heartily at oneself, help others laugh at themselves and we’ll be moving in the right direction. Attempt the impossible, challenge oneself mentally, emotionally, physically, go beyond your boundaries, step beyond the comfort zone, love God and others beyond your wildest imagination, study math, metaphysics and the arts, in short, step into the cool stream with bare feet and experience the preciousness of LIFE! Your soul, and your cells, will thank you.

This is the creative, evolutionary exploration of human potential that I believe we’re here to accomplish.

Tune into our Roundtable and enjoy a lively discussion about different aspects of these points. And listen to HereIIHere Tuesday night to enjoy the healing power of music and movement. It’s a week about healing, including of our beautiful Mother Earth.
