Health is both a science and an art. There are unknown factors in the healing equation. Health is more than the absence of disease. Our physical health occurs in a larger context of mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Healing is the process of moving towards wholeness, affirming life and living fully.
Physical health or illness is only the tip of the iceberg. Achieving optimal physical health requires us to look beneath the surface at the lifestyles we choose, the belief systems and attitudes we hold, and the choices we make about our spirituality, our inner life, our relationship with self and others, and our sense of purpose or meaning in life. The healing system lies within us. The body has its own natural ability to heal. In certain situations, surgery or drugs may be life saving, but it is the internal healing system that allows ultimate life.
