Mind, Body, Spirit
By Phylameana lila Desy, About.com Guide to Holistic Healing
Well-Being encompasses all our parts, not just the physical body. When our emotions are in turmoil or our mind is bombarded with obsessive thoughts our health is compromised. It is important to create balance in your life by nurturing your whole person, which includes spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical needs.
Physical Healing
Taking care of our physical bodies is an important element in caring of our whole selves. It is important to listen to our bodies when they talk to us. Pain is a signifier that something needs your attention. When the immune system is compromised it's best to give it a boost as soon as possible.

Sensitives / Sensitivity
Having a sensitive nature goes hand in hand with personal awareness and keying in to what is happening within your body and mind. Being empathic is a wonderful gift that offers healers the opportunity to better understand pain their clients are suffering with. But for sensitive individuals who are unwittingly soaking up ills and hurts that don't belong to them from the people in their surroundings, it is best to learn how to avoid taking on others symptoms and illnesses.
