Holistic Healing the Ultimate Answer

 Holistic Healing really is the ultimate answer to so many many issues that trouble the world today and  it is no surprise that there has be a resurgence of the holistic field of medicine, education, farming etc. 

People intuitively know what is healthy and what is not. People intuitively know also when something is 'off' in their habits, their health, their life and they seek alternative ways of coping or healing that aspect of their life.

My interest in psychology and healing has been longstanding and specifically in the healing of eating disorders and other addictions. The fundamental issue that when one embarks on the healing journey one has to  pinpoint and heal ones traumas. Now, actually this is so interesting, that many people will dismiss having ever suffered from major trauma, or the importance of that trauma, sometimes the trauma is forgotten. It is only when one gives up one's bad habits or addictions that the memory of the trauma surfaces. Now if you do not have the means of holistically coping with that past trauma and its residual side effects today, at your disposal, then the tendency is to renew the bad habit or partake of the addiction again and you are back at square one. Issue unresolved and bad habits and addiction the norm. This is literally what we have going on in main stream society today. Nothing will ever really get healed and matters will worsen unless millions of people start to do the holistic thing in their own healing, educating and lifestyle. It is a gradual process and it is happening because millions of people are waking up to the fact that they no longer want to live with illness, stress and boredom. They are following that still small voice within that whispers things like -  Read this book. Go to this class. Find out about home education for it may appeal to you. Cycle to work don't drive. Try some Vegan food. See an acupuncturist for that pain. etc etc.

Letting the still small voice within be your inner guide in life, love and health is a big part of what I teach in helping people overcome compulsive eating. Follow your bliss, follow your heart and all the interesting stuff unfolds as a result. Be aware of course that you are making wise decisions and allow for mistakes and let failure be a part of the learning process. We are, as a humanity, learning how to really make wise decisions in life, career, love and healing. We are clearing out the inner sanctum to allow it to be the holy residence it was always meant to be, and it feels like coming home.

Integration

There is something about having healed a situation or trauma that empowers you.  Maybe you suffered from some abuse for example, a tone of voice or a manner that a parent had that triggers you to this day. If your spouse or a shop assistant or friend even, displays this same behaviour it can be very upsetting for you if you have not healed that original culprit. You may drink or overeat to numb the issue and carry on allowing that person to behave that way, you carry on being around that person never calling out that behaviour that may be rude or abusive to whatever degree. Either way you are  stuck in that situation with that person until you heal the original culprit, the parental behaviour that was your first experience or wounding of that kind.  So through giving up eating when full, drink etc and allowing yourself to be fully aware of how that behaviour makes you feel, if you feel it is abusive or rude or overstepping boundaries and even you may be dismissive of it a...

Awareness of the pattern

To give up any addiction successfully you do not have to abstain from the object of your addiction. In other words the first step in giving up any addiction (contrary to popular belief) is not about abstaining from the food when full, the drink or drugs, gambling etc.  The first step in to be AWARE of your pattern of behaviour.  That means you become aware of when the craving kicks in, and you become aware of your thoughts drifting towards indulging in the object of your addiction. You reach out for the glass of wine. You catch yourself arranging to have that cheesecake even though you are physically full. You reach for the cigarette or vape. This awareness then needs to be extended as it were, you need to be aware of how you are doing emotionally at that specific time the craving kicks in. In this awareness of how you feel emotionally comes the  ability to actually find an alternative means of coping with that emotional dilemma other than just suppressing / numbing it wi...

London

 At the end of another London trip I look back at the memories, sights, experiences and teachings with relish: Form the train to Richmond I see a large fox sitting on the sloping embankment staring towards the trains and I think of the ability to adapt to one's surroundings. The wild fox adapting to city life and thriving, after all, it really takes something to be able to live in London rent free. This tame landscape, moulded and shaped by human hand throughout the centuries. Beautiful iconic statues, fountains and buildings on lay lines of great power. Harrods, Fortnam and Mason etc. The lovely Indian family on the bus to Crouch End. The father answering his daughter's questions with kindness and genuine interest. The mother beaming with love for her child. My heart expanded witnessing such parental love. Again they adapted to being parents and devoting time and energy to their offspring. In contrast I moved train carriages when a father on the tube was trying to control his ...
