Dr. Philippa Harvey, Head TCM therapist at SHA Wellness Clinic
Hi Philippa,
When discussing integral health and energetic health, what exactly do we mean?
Integral health management, often referred to as holistic healthcare, has evolved beyond the stereotypes associated with alternative or hippie practices. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of various facets of health care, including traditional medical treatments, therapy, nutrition, psychology, and energy work. This approach breaks down barriers between different disciplines, allowing for a more comprehensive and collaborative approach to wellness.
What does it mean when we talk about integral medicine?
Recent scientific research supports this integrated approach to healthcare. For instance, physical medical treatments now often include art, dance, and music therapy as complementary options for addressing stress and depression, reflecting a significant shift from conventional practices a decade ago.
Integral medicine explores how our bodies interact with our anatomy, emotions, biochemistry, bio-energetic fields, diet, and lifestyle. The concept of energetic integral health management, exemplified by organizations like SHA, incorporates cross-functional treatments to promote energetic health.
How does the healing process work in our body?
Our bodies possess innate healing mechanisms, striving for balance and health through natural processes. Despite the conscious self's limited involvement in these processes, our cells communicate and activate healing mechanisms autonomously, restoring equilibrium without conscious intervention.
The challenge lies in cultivating awareness of subtle bodily cues to address imbalances before they manifest as illness. Understanding the intricate interplay of emotions, physiology, and energy production is essential. In SHA, we recognize the profound impact of emotions on physical health and the role of energy in maintaining well-being.
How can we help the conscious “I” to have a look at what is subtly going on in our body, so we can help it if it is out of balance? What can we do to avoid getting ill?
Nutrition also plays a crucial role in integral and energetic health. At SHA, we aim to educate individuals on the energetic properties of food and its medicinal value, empowering them to make informed dietary choices.
On a broader scale, what can SHA do for us in terms of Integral/Energetic health?
Utilizing advanced technologies such as neuro-psychology devices and traditional Chinese medicine diagnostics, we assess individuals' energy levels and identify areas of imbalance. Treatments like acupuncture and bio-resonance therapy are tailored to rebalance the body's energy systems and promote overall wellness.
Through our Energy Health Department, SHA employs a multidisciplinary approach to measure, diagnose, and address energy imbalances. Whether energy levels are excessive, deficient, or blocked, our team of experts utilizes various modalities, including bio-resonance devices and acupuncture, to restore harmony and facilitate healing.
In essence, SHA's holistic approach to integral and energetic health management emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and energy, offering personalized strategies to optimize well-being.
