Holistic Healing Goes Green?

The adage “prevention is better than cure” holds true in everyone’s life. In Germany, practitioners called “preventologists” specialize in preventing immediate future occurrence of diseases by using mind, body approaches, and holistic nutrition. While the saying is often quoted, peoples’ consciousness especially among Filipinos are not wont to adhere. Holistic medicine purports the use of preventological healthcare in its pursuance of goal. But through holisticphilippines.com, it is envisioned to educate the public in every facet of life, and integrate it in life’s health education.
HolisticPhilippines.Com will be launched on April 24, 1 to 4 p.m. at The Peninsula of Manila.
The greening of people’s minds is basically a dramatic change of consciousness to opt for natural health care, nature cure therapy or as natural practitioners call it “naturopathy,” and natural food supplementation (nutriceuticals).

Healing arts and practices “folkloric arts” such as “hilot” now becomes integral part of the Filipino healthcare delivery system. Coupled by this is the “pausok” now scientifised into aromatherapy using essential oils, such as the world renowned virgin coconut oil. Activated charcoal bath started in 1800’s by Ellen White is now in vogue in some wellness centres.

Healing practices became non-invasive and non-surgical. More people clamour for this new type of healthcare delivery especially in the remote areas of the country where the presence of medical doctors are basically nil. - By DR. JOSEF DE UBALDO, DSc, Phd, F.R.C.P.

The Metaphysical Concept of Nature

Hi

Are all those who believe in ghosts, the metaphysical and the paranormal either mad, romantic or both?
I have long taken pleasure from the romantic poets, composers and artists
Surely this preference is from a genetic inheritance or merely a part of my nurturing or both?
"And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things."
Wordsworth created "Tintern Abbey" in 1798 but it remains as beautifully poignant today as it did when his quill first touched the parchment
The romantic poets instilled an essence of the metaphysical in their poetry
Why?
Were they all mad?
Were they all products of their social environment?
Were they all mere "followers of fashion"?
Are we that believe in the soul of nature today a throwback to a bygone age?
Anyone out there that feels the same?
Anyone out there interested enough to write about their feelings on the existence of the spirit or soul?
Come on - prove me wrong - write!!
