Holistic Health: Mind, Body, Spirit Connection

Mind, body and spirit are connected. Do you know how? (headliner on the page)

Research over the last several decades demonstrates the fact that you cannot separate the mind, body and spirit in health and healing. The truth is your body was designed to be healthy. Having a good attitude and healthy spirit may have positive physical effects. True health means that you are healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When all 3 parts are equal and balanced you not only feel good but your life
is happier and more complete!

Most healing programs work at the level of the body, forgetting the importance of your mind and spirit. This is why you may find yourself searching out multiple practitioners to support your journey to well-being.

women with breast cancer, and found evidence that attitude is linked to duration and survival of cancer. [2,3]

Your beliefs affect your health, including your genes – Dr. Bruce Lipton, internationally recognized biologist and article of The Biology of Belief , is a leader in teaching about the science of epigenetic. His scientific experiments prove that your perception or beliefs, affect your health. His studies show that even if you have a gene for a certain
disease, it is your beliefs that can turn that genetic issue off or on. To learn more, read The Biology of Belief.
