I feel the reasoning between both comments on Question #1. I on the other hand do not practice or receive a therapeutic treatment. Its not that I don't believe in others comfort and healing from it, it is just that I figure more neurological relief maybe responsible. I have on many a time thought that massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic healing could help me, but I scientifically correlate healing to mental awareness and response. Granted thinking that a broken bone will heal correctly may not be a great route, but healing powers of a healthy conscious I believe could be the most powerful Holistic Healer of all. There are plenty of psuedo healings that should this.

Being a Holistic practicing individual, I find that meaning to be something too broad to define in such a general manner. In our societies limited ideas as to what "Healing" relates to, it can be disheartening when people will not consider a natural option over a drug. Granting that Western Med. has its place but, the whole concept of Holistic Healing is more preventative in nature. Holistic healing really is a lifestyle not just a quick fix when you have already have a terrible symptom. For me, Holistic Healing is utilizing all the wisdom (ancient and modern) that empowers our bodies to live healthfully with our natural environment and allow us to adapt quickly and strengthen our immune systems to be at peak performance especially in the Toxic world we now live.
