Holistic medicine is a system of health care which fosters a cooperative relationship among all those involved, leading towards optimal attainment of the physical, mental emotional, social and spiritual aspects of health.

It emphasizes the need to look at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values. It encompasses all stated modalities of diagnosis and treatment including drugs and surgery if no safe alternative exists. Holistic medicine focuses on education and responsibility for personal efforts to achieve balance and well being.

Other Terms Associated with Holistic Medicine

• Alternative Medicine is often used by the general public and some healthcare practitioners to refer to medical techniques which are not known or accepted by the majority "conventional" or "allopathic" medical practitioners (usually M.D.'s). Such techniques could include non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques such as Medical Herbalism, Acupunture, Homeopathy, Reiki, and many others. However, the term Alternative Medicine can also refer to any experimental drug or non-drug technique that is not currently accepted by "conventional" medical practitioners. As non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques become popular and accepted by large number of "conventional" practitioners, these techniques will no longer be considered Alternative Medicine.

• Alternative Medicine refers to techniques that are not currently accepted by "conventional" practitioners, but what is currently accepted is quickly changing. Even the definition of "conventional practitioners" is quickly changing. Therefore, techniques that are now considered part of Alternative Medicine will soon be considered part of "conventional" medicine. The terms Holistic Healing and Holistic Medicine are slightly more stable than Alternative Medicine and are therefore preferable.

• Complementary Medicine is often used by "conventional" medical practitioners to refer to non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques used as a complement to "conventional" medical treatments such as drugs and surgery. The term implies that "conventional" medicine is used as a primary tool and the non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques are used as a supplement when needed.

In many cases, properly chosen non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical healing techniques plus properly chosen lifestyle changes can completely and safely heal both acute and chronic illnesses. In other cases, "conventional" medicine is only needed in emergencies or when the safer non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical methods fail. In some cases "conventional" medicine will be a major part of a Holistic Healing Plan, but in some cases it is not needed at all.

• Natural Healing usually refers to the use of non-invasive and non-pharmaceuticals techniques to help heal the patient. When most people use the term Natural Healing, they are usually referring to physical healing techniques only.

Anna Mazura What is Quantum Healing? What is quantum healing? And how quantum healing reveals to you? Quantum healing is a therapy for people and reffers to quantum phenomena. Quantum healing is focused on balancing and integrating body, mind and spirit to assist you to achieve a greater manifestation of the power you have. Deepak Chopra, the author of “Quantum Healing”, said: “Quantum Healing is healing the body-mind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest of a sensory level”. Quantum mind hypothesis Classical physics cannot fully explain consciousness and suggests that quantum phenomena may play an important role in explanation of consciousness. Physicist F. Capra in his book “The Tao of Physics” noted that change and transformation are the primary aspects of modern physics. When you are reading this text, you can experience, that our vibrations and energies are connected. Make it an essential part of your experience. It is one of the arguements underlying quantum mind hypothesis. Quantum touch For decades, psychologists have been praising the great value of touch. Many studies have shown that babies who are not touched will not grow as quickly as their counterparts who are held regularly. Then, what is quantum touch, and what makes it so important? “In my opinion, the true value of touch is the life force energy and the love - in that touch” – states Richard Gordon, the author “Quantum – Touch”. Quantum touch is a method of healing. To use quantum touch, you simply need to learn various breathing techniques, body awareness mediatations, and hand positions. In that way you can raise the vibration of your hands to a very high frequency. Quantum touch combines with numerous other techniques to enhance their effectiveness: massage, shiatsu, jin shin do, acuressure, polarity, cranial, sacral, therapeutic touch, and so on. I believe that it is truly one of the essential life skills we should all know. The ability to heal is an inherent part of people`s essential nature. So, how to do it? Deepak Chopra is belived that the process is very much like learning to ride a bicycle. As he states: “To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body – cells, tissues, organs, and systems – and arrive at a junction between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect”. Distant healing Numerous books have been written about magical world of quantum physics. One of the implications of Bell`s theorem is that, at a fundamental level the separate parts of the universe are connected in an intimate and immediate way. How distant healing can work? When I use the word “distant”, I mean that there is no physical contact being made between the healer and client. When you are touching someone during a quantum healing session, you are clearly assisting to change the vibration of the tissue in a very direct way. It is called “local healing”. In “nonlocal healing” the healer may be possibly on the moon and his impact would be strong, since the field is created by thought. The Principles of Quantum Touch 1. Love is a universal vibration. Love communicates to all species, functions on all levels and expresses our true nature. It is the foundation of all healing and the core essence of the life force energy. 2. The ability to assist in healing is natural to all people. 3. Healing is a skill that can be taught and that grows stronger with practice. Practitioners become stronger at running the energy and in their healing ability over time. 4. Energy follows thought. The healers uses intention and various meditations to create a high-energy field and uses that field to surround the area to be healed. 5. Resonance cause the area being healed to change its vibration to match that of the healer. The healer simply raises and holds the new resonanse. 6. No one can really heal anyone else. The person in need of healing is the healer. The healer simply holds a resonance to allow the body to heal itself. 7. Trusting the process is essential. The work may cause temporary pain or other distressing symptoms that are part of the healing. The life force and the healing process work with complexity and wisdom that are beyond our conception and comprehension. 8. The energy follows tha natural intelligence of the body to do the necessary healing. The healers pays attention to “body intelligence” and “chases the pain”. 9. The healer is also receiving a healing by doing the work. 10. Breathing amplifies the life force energy. 11. Combining breathing and meditation techniques together causes the energy to line up, which increases its power many times, like a laser. 12. Synergy is the effect of multiple healers working together and is greater than the sum of the parts. It can be very powerful. 13. Healing can be accomplished from a distance and can be highly effective. Healing vibration of love From the galaxies to the subactomic level, all people and particles dance to its power. If a piano and a quitar were both in tune and a G was played on the piano, the G string on the quitar would also vibrate. In this example, the string on the quitar absorbs the energy waves from the piano because it is tuned to the same frequency. Whenever they are in harmony, they form what is called a resonant system. The quitar and piano string are resonating with one another. By the same token, people that can vibrate at the same frequency, require very little work to tranfer energy from one to another. When two things are vibrating at different frequences through resonance, either the lower vibration will come up, the higher vibration will come down, or they will meet in the middle. Love is the universal vibration that allows people to transfer healing energy from one to another. Loving hands are healing hands. Yes, absolutely. Love vibration can transform your life or make your life more fulfilling. Bruce Berger writes: “Sympathetic resonance describes the tendency of two wave forms with the same degree of arc to vibrate sympathetically together, energizing and communicating universally with each other. Thus wave forms of the same length and frequency will entrain and influence each other throughout all creation. This is the key to understanding one of the dynamics that holds creation togehther, and to understanding our theory of the body as the energy of sacred sound”. What is life force energy? Since scientists do not have sensitive enough instruments to mesure existence of life energy, they deny that is real. It is like denying the existence of love because you can`t measure its length or weigh it on a scale. Most people actually feel the life force energy within them every moment of every day. They often are not aware that they are feeling it. When someone experiences a wonderful creative flow, we describe them as beeing “inspired”. To “inspire” is the same word we use to describe breathing, and the breath happens to be the primary source of Prana. The reality of life energy has been well documented by literally thousands of studies. Distant healing and prayer in the laboratory have produced viable and dramatic effects on bacteria, yeasts and other single-celled organisms, as well as on DNA, enzymes and chemicals. Many research has also been conducted on plants, animals and people. What is life force energy? Life force energy is the cosmic power. The Chinese call it “Chi”, and the Japanese call it “Ki”. The Indian yogis have called the energy “Prana” and have used their understanding to achieve higher levels of consciousness through their practices od yoga, pranayama, meditation, and various healing practices. Western traditions view our life force energy as an esoteric phenomenon, generally accepted by us as a gift from greater powers. The Oriental traditions see our energy and vitality as much more to do with our interaction with the universe. For example, taoist philosophy is a way of describing and understanding how we and our environment function together. It is belived that to be alive is to have sufficient life energy to enable our body-mind to “react” in some way. Imbalances of life energy quantity and circulation have many causes, including emotional disturbance, shock, abnormal environmental factors such as excessive heat or cold, accidents and so on. Creative chaos. How the quantum chaos works? The suggestion that brain activity has chaotic dynamics in not new. It is interesting that many writers have suggested that it is healthy to be chaotic. In fact, chaos may provide a healthy flexibility to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. Conversly, many ailments may be assotiated with a loss of this chaotic flexibility. Similarly, chaotic dynamics in mind activity can be adaptive. By that, I suppose that a mind can become adaptive through “chaotic acts” rather than “orderly idleness”. I. Prigogine demonstrated that nonequilibrium may be a source of spontaneous formation of order. “Maybe chaos is the natural way to put together the various things in the body” – suggests Ary Goldberger. “Healthy systems don`t want homeostasis” he says. “They want chaos”. But chaos that arises is not total chaos, but rather is controlled and bounded.

End of hypnosis course

Selected group of gild members finished a course of hypnosis.

It was a good idea to invite to excellent hypnotists. And so, unmatched master of stage hypnosis, Jurij Mokriszczew participated in classes on second day. He demonstrated his workshop and acquainted into arcana of his art. Meeting with Jurij proceeded In amicable created unforgettable mood. atmosphere and practical exercises .

On third and fifth day of course a friend from guild – mgr of psychology Wojciech Górecki– excellent bioenergotherapist, student of prof Maria Szulc, an icon of polish bioenergotherapy – honored us with his appearance and leaded part of lecture. He introduced to us a lot of hypnotic techniques and explained intricate mysteries of leading into hynpotic trance. Under his watchful eye we practiced all of techniques he teached us. Patience, tranquility and warm timbre of voice were a great show of his art of approaching patient.

The word TRANSGRESSION is rather a commonly known term. Ethymologically - lat. "transgressio" - transition from "transgredi" transcend; where "trans" means through; beyond; "gradi"- pad, go. By the term "transgression" we understand action, thoughts and experience, in which a man intentionally exceeds the limit of his hitherto experience and achievements. Do the following exercise, please: Take six matches, put them in front of you and without breaking them, put them in such a way to create four triangles with equal angles. If you assumed, that the solution is in the plane, you'd yield the stereotype. Surprising, isn't it? Only transgression, which in this case relies on going beyond your hitherto experience of the plane operations and searching the solution the in three dimensions, leads to the success. Look wider on what you experience. Generally, the biography of a single man mainly consists of everyday activities of the lower level, the activities that are habitual, stereotyped, repeated, satisfying one's elementary needs. But, a man does not only act and think within the limits set by the biology and the society. Quite often, he thinks and acts led by something, he even doesn't realize what- his unawareness, archetypes, and most of all, his destiny, the sense of being here and now. The types of transgression Generally, transgression takes part in four dimensions: natural, social, psychical and symbolical. As a consequence, we can say that there exist: - Natural transgression- understood as activities directed to the biological and physical nature. All the architectonic and humanistic (physical world) as well as medical and genetic (lively world) human's activity. - Social transgression - understood as activities directed to social groups, institutions, and to individual. For ages, people try to create new social rules, new systems, associate religious sects, organizations and unions. - Intellectual transgression (symbolic) - thanks to which new intellectual qualities are created, the art, science, religion, develop; simply saying, all that can be understood as symbolic culture. - Psychic sphere transgression- when a man starts to notice the power of his thoughts. How to separate essential transgressions from those less important? "Epistemology without the familiar subject" of Karl R. Popper tries to answer that question. On the basis of his Objective Knowledge theory, Popper not rejecting the possibilities of other divisions, divides the reality into three groups

• the first- physical subjects and states;
• the second- objective content of thoughts, scientific and poetic thoughts as well as the work of art;
• the third- the group of psychic states- states of consciousness.

In my opinion, the third group should be filled with the scientific knowledge, yet understood not in the simple meaning of the term " I know", which belongs to the other world, but in a sense of the objective theories, problems they touch up, and arguments formulated pro and con. NeuroTransgression- transgression of thoughts The word "I know" in contemporary meaning should be replaced with the phrase "I know and understand" the general rule of the world; that's why as a first plan transgression I perceive that one that is connected with acts of states if consciousness. The rule of macro- and micro-cosmos, often expressed with the phrase " at the bottom as at the top", allows to see analogies between the world of the spirit and the matter; giving the priority and superiority to the spirit. NeuroTransgression - that's the New overview on the world that surrounds you. The overview free from stereotypes, prejudice and limitations. Neurotransgression- that's the journey to the sphere no longer the soul only but also to the spirit. On the next pages of the portal I will present my experience with hypnosis, bioenergotherapy, as well as the knowledge about early and today's techniques of mind managing and the influence of mind on the quality of life in both- material and spirituals dimensions.
