The image of earth as a living organism and nurturing mother served as a cultural constraint restricting the actions of human beings. One does not readily slay a mother, dig into her entrails for gold, or mutilate her body… As long as the earth was considered to be alive and sensitive, it could be considered a breach of human ethical behavior to carry out destructive acts against it.

On the basis of what is known about the roles of the electrical, magnetic, elastic, acoustic, thermal, gravitational and photonic energies in living systems, it appears that there are many energetic systems in the living body and many ways of influencing them. What we refer to as the “living state” and as “health” are all of these systems, both known and unknown, functioning collectively, cooperatively and synergistically. The debate about whether there is such a thing as “Healing Energy” or life force is being replaced with the study of the interactions between the biological energy fields, structures and functions.

“We are a multidimensional creation with coexisting ‘bodies’.
…Our physical body is composed of matter; our subtle body is energy,
thought and emotions; and our causal body is a spiritual source of energy.
Health is the integration of all aspects of our being.”

It is a wise mans part, rather to avoid sickness, than to wish for medicines.
Thomas More, Utopia [sic]
Dr. Selye On Stress
It is our ability to cope with the demands made by the events in our lives, not the quality or intensity of the events, that counts.
This brings us back to our key phrase, namely, that what matters is not so much what happens to us, but the way we take it.
Dr. Hans Selye, one of the great pioneers of medicine with his famous and revolutionary concept of stress, which opened countless doors to medical treatment.
The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul,
although the two cannot be separated.
Plato
