Dominica News Online (DNO) is, in the space of three weeks, introducing another feature on the website, entitled Natural Healing.
Health and wellness is an issue which is increasingly on the forefront of human development. As we continue to define what it means to live in a global community and to significantly improve our quality of life, a large number of groups and individuals are reclaiming the ancient principles of mind, body and spirit and adapting them to the new field of Holistic Health. It simply means to heal the entire person, and not just the symptoms that they experience.
DNO is excited to bring you weekly articles by practitioners in that field, which will introduce you to, or refamiliarize you with these concepts.
The articles will be published every Saturday beginning July 14.
I like
… so we are talking about yoga , holistic massage, reiki , crystal therapy…just to name a few
If you can prove Reiki and the crystals *actually* work, you’ll win a Nobel Prize. Yoga and massages are one thing; Reiki and crystals are currently in the realm of superstition and fraud.
clearly you don’t have any knowledge on the two , reiki and crystal therapy are two extremely holistic treatments being practiced all over the world especially in places such as India , China and even England and we all know that India and China believe in holistic healing…maybe you should not be so shallow minded and read a little more… educate yourself
you need to experience a Reiki or crystal treatment … after you have done so you can then voice your opinion
The mere fact that something is practiced around the world does not make it true. I did not say either of them was in fact absolutely wrong or untrue, but rather that there is no evidence I am aware of that they ARE anything other than deceptive (even if unintentionally so) practices. I believe acupuncture works, for instance, but not for the reasons its practictioners claim–it works because of its effect on the nerves, not because blocked chi (I do not see evidence that chi exists). If you have a scientific study that proves these practices are legit, please send a link and I will look at it.
Congratulations dno, I am very proud of this installment
Proud of something you haven’t seen yet?
A computer software nuh you talking about installment
“A large number of groups of individuals are reclaiming the ancient principles of mind, body, and Spirit”. News article
In the fist place those principles should not be abandoned at all, for they are the principles of God Almighty’s Word–His message of Life in the Holy Bible. And this Life is not of flesh and bones, but of Spirit and Truth.
I do not know how many times I will refer to that saying of Jesus, telling us that: “It is the Spirit who gives Life; the flesh profits nothing. Jesus says: “The Words which I speak are Spirit and they are Life”
When Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be “born again”, Nicodemus did not understand, and so Jesus made a bit clearer to him, saying to Nicodemus: “That He was not talking about being born again from his mother’s womb for: “That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit; do not marvel that I say to you: “You must be born again of Water and the Spirit”.
In other words Jesus has made it clear to us, that the physical body is a “mortal being”–existing in it state of spiritual death, until the inner being is quickened by our channel of faith and the Life of Jesus Christ. This Light is that which awakens the sleeping or dead soul, in us, to the existence of Life in the Spirit.
The prophet Isaiah told us more than 800 years before Jesus entered this world: “By His stripes we are healed!” But how can we receive this healing for both the spiritual and the physical, unless we apply faith by which we enter the mode of mind renewal, after encountering the “new birth”?
Yes, many of us are born again, but we continue with a carnal mind because we do not apply–everything must be demonstrated physically for us to believe and receive. But until then the human mind is carnal and cannot respond to the promptings of Holy Spirit, that He might connect us through conscience.
So the apostle Paul tells us “Do not be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may know what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God”.
After all, if a person knows the “perfect will” of God Almighty, that person is sure to know the method of healing, in him or her, which is definitely revealed to that person by the teachings of Holy Spirit.
I have said before that “Words” are the most powerful weapons a person can ever execute. For the ideas in our minds must first be reveal to others by our manner of words.
If you do not understand me, just try listening to God Almighty, creating the earth and everything in it through His Person of Love–Jesus Christ–by His Words of Mouth.
God’s first set of words were: “Let there be Light” And the apostle John explains as he writes about Jesus Christ. In Him there was Life and the Life was the Light of men”.
What am I saying here? I am saying that Life is in the Spirit, and this Life is under the control of the Mind of Love–through the guidance of Holy Spirit from conscience–our carnal mind produces the things of death and death itself.
With a Mind of Love a person is “free” Free from fleshly afflictions, and all of the strife, toil, discord, doubts, confusion, and corruption of this world. I will repeat the apostle Paul’s advice:
“Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” This is the primary walk towards a Life that is rooted and grounded in Love, into reconciliation to our God of Spirit, in Love, Truth and Holiness.
The mind in its renewal state receive the messages from Holy Spirit, from conscience to do battle against sickness of the body and all other problems of our Lives. Our weapon is the words we learn to speak against those omen by our wisdom of faith.
…is anybody else fed up with these crazy fundamentalists who leave huge posts that nobody reads?
@Freethinker
You are the crazy one writing and posting a cluster of words that makes no sense. It is obvious that you also have no reading comprehension–along with your friends who do not want to read a page full message.
I pity you people!
@Freethinker
You are the one who is crazy, writing those few line passage that makes no sense. The name you have used does not belong to your mentality
This is what we need, holistic healing.
Hooray! DNO it’s about time
Excited already, can’t wait.
