Holistic Fitness
Fitness that is truly holistic takes into account, not just the physical body, but the mind, emotions and spirit as well. The goal of this website, and the treatments I offer in private practice, are to offer information and holistic fitness sessions which do just this. The physical body is nourished by massage, herbal remedies and nutrition. Acupuncture, communication and meditation feed the emotions, mind, and spirit. Of course they all overlap in their goals and the benefits of each are many, but when combined and used together, the power of holistic fitness sessions is multiplied.
Enlightened Medicine is health from a larger perspective. It views all parts of the mind and body as being connected. Within this vision we can not take our thoughts out of context from the body, they effect the body completely. Likewise, emotions such as fear, anxiety, or peace chemically and physically change the body. What we eat obviously affects us physically, but foods also change us emotionally and alter thoughts we are thinking while digesting. Finally, the feelings of love, peace, joy, and oneness that we experience from Spirtual or Religious beliefs nurture the totality of our being and keep us healthy in many ways now provable by science.
Our energy flows when we feel love and calm, energy gets stuck and does not flow when fear, anger, or stress dominates. We can not avoid all of the stresses which lead to congestion of energy and the beginning of dis-eases, but we can use methods of clearing away energy blocks to promote good health and prevent dis-ease from taking root. This is what holistic fitness and Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about. Keeping you in the flow of health. Opening your mind-body-spirit up to this flow, so that you can feel it yourself and be responsible for your own radiant health. In the end, Enlightened Medicine can only give you the keys, it is up to you to open and walk through the door.
