What is Mind-Body Healing?
Holistic Mind-Body Wellness
The holistic approach to health care aims to focus on the individual as a whole human being – body/mind/spirit, rather than on specific symptoms.
Emotions are considered a strong driving force in the immune system and other healing systems. Our emotions also significantly influence health and recovery from disease.
“We all participate in our health through our beliefs, our feelings and our attitudes toward life, as well as in more direct ways, such as through exercise
and diet. In addition, our response to medical treatment is influenced by our beliefs about the effectiveness of the treatment and by the confidence we have in the medical team.
Understanding how much you can participate in your health or illness is a significant first step for everyone in getting well.”
Getting Well Again,
