The whole field of mind, body and spirit is vast: there are so many therapies from which to choose; so many traditions; so much advice. Sometimes, it can be difficult to know where to start. Many people find that the best way to get started on the mind, body, spirit path is through one of the major systems of holistic health care. Systems such as Ayurveda, the Indian mind-body medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine cover all the basic, fundamental principles.
These ancient cultures hold many of the key concepts for natural health. For centuries, the people of these cultures have known about the vital energy that circulates through the body. The Chinese call this energy qi or chi, the Indians call it prana; the Sufis, qawa. They mapped it clearly and understood that, if the energy were flowing smoothly, good health would follow.
Equally, they understood that mind and body are intrinsically linked. If you make changes to your mind-set, to the way you see the world, your body may undergo quite extraordinary changes. Not only that, but they also believed that by changing the body, shifting posture, realigning joints, releasing tension in muscles and fascia, you may experience profound psychological changes.
