A New Spin On Human Health


COVID-19 showed us not only how vulnerable our individual health is, but also the vulnerability of the health care industry.

To successfully move healthcare towards health creation, yoga, meditation, and other energy aligning systems can help us to question and explore what it means to be human and what it means to be healthy.

The Veterans Administration has been looking for answers for decades, and they finally reached this conclusion: 

Health is not just the lack of physical pain: it's emotional, psychological and mental health.

What does that mean for you?

It means that health is about addressing all the parts of you.

The VA calls this new directive, "whole person healthcare," with strategies including: 

  • Guided Imagery
  • Massage Therapy
  • Meditation
  • Qigong
  • Yoga

The National Academy of Medicine has even agreed and strongly recommends offering this to every patient, not just veterans,

That's VERY exciting for the future…but what if you need this kind of whole-person healthcare now?

It’s here.

New roles for healers and support people have come forward now that we are dealing with the pressing problem of chronic disease and chronic pain that currently absorbs a larg majority of the US population and over 90% of all healthcare dollars in the U.S.

It may very well be that a deeper understanding of the ancient yoga system can be finally be recognized and integrated into a more leading-edge frontier of human health:

This is Whole-self, or holistic-self health care. Where spiritual health is ready to be seen at least as important as physical health - and working together in creating a new kind of ultimate health.

 This is happening right now

Technology continues to refine our perspective on health and there’s an emerging understanding of the application of energy health in medical theory and practice. The growing interest among the public and providers in holistic, integrative care also reflects the health care industry’s evolving orientation towards this kind of subtlety in managing health.

I see Healthcare shifting towards sustaining wellbeing rather than focusing entirely on illness. The new focus that is emerging is about understanding of what creates our resilience, from the inside out

We have come to realize that health is not simply about destroying pathogens, it’s about creating vitality, aliveness and wellbeing.

Energy is subtle. Health is also subtle. When we approach ourselves with subtlety, we enter the possibility of grasping our health and our lives in a deeper and more sustainble way.

When we let go of old dogma, we can move towards the more nuanced experience of energy. Yoga cultivates this subtle capacity for a more direct perception of what it means to be vital and alive.

It’s my hope that yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, and individuals can reclaim their vitality through yoga, energy management, self regulation, self care, and know that healthcare means to live the full expression of vitality, as fully vibrant human beings.
