While there will always be a place for traditional Western medicine in treating major injuries and illnesses, other types of holistic approaches to wellness can unlock the human potential for healing and help individuals avoid the need for care in the future.
Judy Griffin, a certified holistic health coach based out of Rockville Center, New York, recently wrote in the Rockville Center Patch that holistic methods to not seek to usurp the position of standard care. Rather, the two approaches take very different paths toward healing.
"Conventional medicine tends to compartmentalize disease whereas holistic medicine asserts that it is all connected, and advocates for an innovative approach using a variety of healing modalities to uniquely meet the needs of each individual patient," she wrote.
Griffin added that rather than seeking to treat specific symptoms, holistic medicine tries to attack the underlying causes of illness, thereby completely resolving the condition.
These views echo those of Ilchi Lee, the author and philosopher who believes that spiritual healing should methods should take an all-encompassing approach to illness.

I once had a student who was a Buddhist monk. Like most monks, he spent many hours a day meditating, looking for that very state of oneness. He was very distracted, however, because he found that his health began to deteriorate. He could not sleep or sit still for long because of serious kidney problems. He began to practice Brain Wave Vibration and had immediate improvements in his health, and was finally able to focus properly for meditation. He says he now knows what Buddha meant when he said, “Find truth in your body; outside you will not find it in thousand years.”
It is very important to pay attention to the experience of energy in your body…Energy is the real stuff of life, and it is through energy that oneness reveals itself. If you can quiet your mind sufficiently, you will sense this in your body as a subtle but consistent vibration.
If you allow this sensation to expand, you will not sense any end to this energy and you will glimpse the infinite nature of the universe.

If your thinking and habits are not synchronized with your higher intentions, it is probably because detrimental behaviors and thought patterns have been wired into the structure of your brain through years of repetition. Fortunately, neuroscience shows that we have an amazing ability to change the connections within our brains, and I am offering Brain Wave Vibration as a way to effectively clean the slate so you can begin using your brain as you really intend.
Most of us have been conditioned to think that the answers to life’s problems are complex. We look to complicated, obscure theories and scientific learning that require experts with years of study to interpret and apply. Furthermore, we tend to think that problems arise from somewhere outside ourselves. Thus, we also look outside ourselves for the answers. I am writing this book with the sincere hope that this method will help you discover that everything you need for health, happiness, and peace is already inside you.

…it can be difficult to put…ideas into consistent practice in your life. You may have tried to follow the advice given by teachers, only to be disappointed as the same old problems reappeared and a deep sense of dissatisfaction returned to you.
I would like to suggest that if you have had difficulty making your reality follow the wishes of your mind, it is because you have not taken the time to change the tool with which you can change your reality. In other words, you have not taken steps to train your brain.
On the surface, it is easy to convince yourself that your thinking is positive, but in reality you may have many layers of negative thought that can undermine even the most sincere effort for positive change. Brain Wave Vibration offers a way to break through the layers of self-negating thought patterns so you can shake them off and begin again. For this purpose, we will look directly at the bodily organ that produces thought—the brain—and we will attempt to tap into its full ability through a remarkably simple and effective technique.

Now the cerebral limbic system has heard that we are all one and that all life is interrelated. However, such information has made an impression upon the cerebral limbic system because the information was cold and dry, not accompanied by any experiential evidence such as happiness or love that would allow it to be permanently absorbed into the brain. When the cerebral limbic system truly “knows” that all is One and that True Love exists within us, we will find the absolute peace and happiness that we are looking for. To accomplish this, we need the power of the brain stem. Within our brain stem lies not only True Love but also true creativity of life. This is the place where we can find the Creator Within. We now know that the Creator Within has a specific address within our bodies.
Let us take a trip inside our brain stem. When your conscious awareness penetrates through the outer layers of the brain into the innermost one, you will feel a rapture such as you have never felt before. You will express that rapture through tears and smiles. You will feel the everlasting wellspring of life within you. Brain Respiration is designed to act as a travel guide to your own divinity within.

We all have something inside that is steady, even among our many emotions that come and go with our life’s joys and sorrows. At the center of our consciousness, a being quietly watches us. When we are struggling in despair, that being gives us strength not to give up, and stirs our hope by saying, “It is all right.”
In spite of the hope offered by that being—our soul—one nagging question might remain: “How do I know when I have found my true life purpose?”
You may recall that earlier I wrote about choice. I emphasized that we must repeatedly choose to listen to our soul, practice meditation, repeat our self-declaration frequently, and rely on our family, friends, and co-workers as partners in creating our life purpose. Each moment of every day, we make choices. Sometimes our choices are empowering, and other times they may lead to disillusionment. But we continue to choose. Even by not choosing, we have made a choice. Through choice we see more clearly that our world is transient. With this understanding, we should not be disheartened if our life purpose evolves as well. But how will we know when we have finally arrived.

One of the most serious symptoms of this “Chosen Syndrome” is the mistaken belief that God has especially chosen one. This problem becomes most serious and dangerous when a group or nation, sharing a common heritage, believes that it is the chosen of God. It is dangerous because such a belief can easily justify the conquest of other people’s lands, property, and way of life. The God of such a chosen people does not represent a universal truth, but is a twisted manifestation of the collective ego of a group or nation. Unfortunately, most of the gods that humanity worships today have had their start in such a fashion, choosing one people over another and ensuring the success of the chosen at the suffering and expense of the other. Our gods are gods of superiority, these lines are copied from Ilchi Lee‘s book.
From an anthropological point of view, the Chosen Syndrome would be considered a natural phenomenon. Since our gods are originally all nationalistic or ethnocentric gods, whom would they single out to be special other than the people whose collective ego the gods represent in the first place? Who would your ego choose as special other than yourself? Just as naturally, there is nothing terribly wrong about a group or a nation declaring itself special. However, one thing that we have to realize is that this is a self-declaration of specialness and not an objective designation by the universal and everlasting truth of the cosmos. The cosmos has not declared one group superior to another.
…a god is an amalgam of good social values of a specific group or people. Therefore, God is a set of information used by this group to determine the desirability of a certain action or idea in a particular place and time. Since God is, by definition, a representation of a specific group, it cannot become the central standard of value that can unify Earth. Our information and distribution infrastructure is at a point in technological sophistication where it can unify the world under one system.

Breath-work is a simple discipline that allows us to train ourselves to breathe in a certain way, essentially to keep our breathing naturally deep. As a basic principle, respiration should be deep, light, and natural. Breathing that is natural, and yet deep and light, is healthy. It may seem that breathing both deeply and lightly is contradictor}’. Prof Ilchi Lee associate deepness with heaviness, and connect lightness with shallowness. This principle of deepness and lightness might seem at odds with itself. How is such breathing possible?
Deep breathing occurs naturally if we breathe with our awareness focused on our lower abdomen.
As you do your breath-work, focus your mind’s attention on this area of your body. Feel your lower abdomen rising when you breathe in and falling when you breathe out. Do this slowly and concentrate on your breathing. If this method seems difficult, place one hand on your lower abdomen and the other on your chest. As you breathe, feel the hand on your lower abdomen moving while the hand on your chest stays still.

The cry for enlightenment and salvation has been heard throughout human history. Yet what good is enlightenment or salvation if they don’t bring about lasting peace, health, and happiness for the whole of humanity? This age requires a Truth that will lead to enlightenment and salvation that can be shared by all, and not be confined by the limitations of religious dogma and national boundaries. Our age demands that we think and take action for ourselves. We can no longer afford to wait for fruitless preaching of mythical wise men.
For thousands of years, humanity has espoused countless truths. However, these truths have remained dormant, underutilized and unexplored for their real world possibilities. Actualization of the truth should be our ultimate goal. For what good is truth if it cannot be communicated to others in order to bring about constructive change in society? Thus far we have been caught up a feel good fantasy about the pursuit of truth, becoming experts in linguistic obfuscation and Monday morning quarterbacking of truth instead of its master. Even if some individuals succeed in achieving a certain level of awareness that can be termed enlightenment, what good is it if it is limited to just that one individual? Should he or she be content to remain in the throes of sanctimonious self-congratulation while the world is falling apart around them? Just as truth is useless if it cannot be communicated, enlightenment is worthless if it cannot be shared with many, many others.

With Brain Mastery, you can break free from the unrealized goals of your past. You become a new person with new perspectives and a new ability to harness the creative and reasoning powers of your brain. Free from past fears, prejudices and preconceptions, you can create a new future and do after seventy the things that you wanted to do at thirty-five. Have you read about those men and women in their seventies and beyond who are climbing the Himalayas, winning literary awards, and starting world-changing charities? There’s nothing in them that is not in you. You cannot go back and rewrite chapter one, but you can start now to make a fantastic finale.
Brain Mastering makes maturity what it should be: a prime time of life when you are free of the constraints of work and children and are free to pursue a rich, rewarding existence. So many older adults miss out on this time because they cling to old grudges or let their minds become frail and halting, but that is a fate to which no one need be consigned. Science is showing us that our minds, emotions, and attitudes affect how long and how well we live as much as, or more than, what we eat or how much we exercise. A positive, hopeful, curious mind is a resource for exploring all the wonders that later life has to offer: Want to travel? Go back to school and get your master’s degree? Start a company? Volunteer? Learn to meditate? Do it. When you are master of your brain, you are master of your life.
