FAQs regarding Holistic and Complementary Therapy

Why is the holistic approach to life so vital in achieving balance of mind, and experiencing inner peace and harmony?

The individual is not only made up of what he can experience in terms of the five senses in physical reality, but also of what he thinks and what he feels. Therefore the mental, emotional and physical aspects of the individual must be in synchronicity in order to experience harmony within himself and the environment in which he exists. Holistic healing acknowledges the individual as a whole and therefore this integrated approach has the power to tackle any issue with life-transforming results.

 

Is holistic and complementary therapy only meant for people who have issues they cannot solve on their own?

Many have a misconception that holistic healing is for those who are labeled ‘weak’ and unable to handle their own issues. However, we can all agree that even if we don’t suffer from a life-threatening issue, we all have areas in our lives that we would like to improve. Often, we have obstacles in these areas that we find difficult to overcome on our own. Holistic healing, conducted by an external facilitator, allows one to observe themselves in a more neutral manner to gain the self - awareness and guidance to positively approach and heal out of the same situation.

Many find it hard to admit their own weaknesses, especially to others, for the fear of appearing vulnerable. Many find it difficult to give up control, and therefore this control ends up becoming their greatest enemy.

Holistic healing is for open-minded individuals, who understand that the first step towards transformation is through self-awareness, and then have the courage and wisdom to do something about it. You can visit our section in Services/Programs/Individual Clients for more information on the candidates likely to resort to holistic modalities.

 

Does one always require a therapist to solve every issue in their life?

Any qualified therapist will never encourage dependency. The whole idea is to help the individual elevate his own consciousness (thoughts, words, actions, reactions and perceptions) to master his own life. After the healing process with the therapist is complete, it is natural to occasionally revert back to the therapist for guidance and clarity.

However, the tools we recommend such as breathing, meditation, and other such programs will empower the client to master their state of being within their own space. Our aim is to encourage spirituality not just to tackle an issue, but also as a way of life.

 

How do I know if I should opt for a holistic approach to change my life?

It's very simple. If your existing belief system is causing you pain, then it is important to observe that belief system, understand how it has come about in the first place, and then change it through a holistic approach. For e.g. if you have a belief system which states that you hate dogs, and you marry a woman who loves dogs and has many at home, being around her will now be a painful experience. So either change the belief system, or change the woman!

 

How do I know which therapeutic modality to opt for, e.g. Reiki, yoga or hypnotherapy?

It completely depends on the issue one is facing. Everything starts with a thought, and therefore hypnotherapy is extremely effective in tackling any issue at the root cause. However, once issues are dealt with, reiki, yoga, meditation or the various approaches we offer, allow you to remain consistent in your positive flow of thoughts. You can visit our Services/Complementary Therapy section for more information. Our talented therapists combine a variety of techniques to enhance the healing process.

 

How many holistic therapy sessions does one require, and how long do I have to wait to see tangible results?

It completely depends on the issue at hand. However on an average, clients usually opt for anywhere between 5-10 sessions.

 

What if I am not interested in individual sessions because I don’t have major issues I cannot handle. However I am still interested in the holistic approach and intend to adopt a more spiritual means of life? What is available to me?

We have a variety of different services such as free awareness talks, empowerment workshops and charity clinics which allow you to gain the understanding and experience of the concepts involved. Illuminations exists as a movement which brings awareness of the power of the self, mind and consciousness at all levels. We also have programs at the corporate and educational levels. We even offer certified training programs for you to become a qualified therapist! Please visit our activities section for more details.

 

How do I become a qualified therapist?

Illuminations is currently affiliated to the California Hypnosis Institute of India. We offer a variety of courses in Dubai for individuals to complete their certification as a qualified hypnotherapist. Along with hypnotherapy, these courses weave in a bouquet of approaches such as EFT, chakra diagnosis and dynamic yoga for a more integrated approach. We intend to tie up with a variety of other institutes to offer certification in other holistic modalities. Please visit our Services/Affiliated Institutes section for detailed information about courses.

 

Is holistic healing recommended for children?

Yes, definitely so. Children develop their core beliefs between the ages of 2-8 and are operating out of the subconscious mind up until then. Since holistic modalities, be they rebirthing or hypnotherapy, involve healing at this level, children are extremely receptive to positive suggestions and holistic healing. This can help them take on a positive approach for the rest of their lives. Common issues we work with amongst kids are concentration, fears & phobias, bed wetting, stammering and more. Please visit our Services/Programs/Educational Section for more information on programs for children.

 

If I am undergoing medical treatment, will this interfere in the healing processes?

Not at all. In fact, holistic healing is called complementary healing simply because it complements, or rather enhances your allopathic healing process. Every modality has its place. For. e.g. if an individual is diagnosed with cancer, it means that the imbalance has already reached the level of the physical body/reality. Therefore we recommend resorting to a medical solution because the issue has already reached the physical level. However, complementary therapy can do wonders in reducing the side effects of the strong medical treatments and can be a catalyst in the healing process.

 

What is the scientific basis of holistic healing? How do I know for a fact it can work on me?

Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Based on the scientific explanations of Albert Einstein’s theory of energy, matter and time and space continuum which are very much acknowledged by science, and therefore can be applicable to human existence on the third dimension (Planet Earth).

Holistic healing applies these very same laws to the body/mind/energy dynamics of the individual. The applied theory behind the approaches we use have evidence to prove tangible results for many. Increasing experiments in quantum physics of measuring thought waves and understanding how thoughts manifest into the physical reality of existence, are beginning to add value to the holistic science. Please refer to our recommended list of books in the News and Links section to gain more knowledge and understanding.

 

Why is the holistic approach to life gaining so much merit, more so in recent times?

The year 2012 is, by many separate sources of wisdom, seen as being a portal into the Golden Age - an age where spiritual enlightenment is the norm. The ancient Mayan civilization created a calendar that was very intricate and highly intelligent in nature a calendar that ended on December 21st 2012. From an astrological point of view, December 21st 2012 marks the beginning of the Winter Solstice that year, and also the movement of the Earth in the centre of the galaxy in which it is located, the Milky Way. Additionally, the magnetic field of the Earth is expected to reverse by 180 degrees at that time, having huge effects on our minds and bodies.

As we build up to this time, we have already begun to see dramatic changes in our environment. The disruption in the ozone layer, the melting of the ice caps, the increased amount of natural disasters, the global recession are all the signs of a rapidly changing reality. A reality in which the huge period of industry and consumerism that humanity has gone through is coming to an end. This is the reason why holistic healing has gained so much popularity recently, as a huge shift in consciousness occurs, to guide humankind through this tumultuous time towards the Golden Age or Ascension. The children being born today, called Indigo children, are ripe with intellect and are already 'plugged-in' to the order of the new age. They have heightened intuitive senses and are teaching us the much needed spiritual lessons while the Earth's transformation is taking place.

What can we expect in the new age? Primarily, a complete transformation of humankind to an age of heightened sensitivity and full neutrality in response to our environment. We will understand the true meaning of one-ness as there will be complete transparency of thought between all the souls that exist on this physical plane. We will rediscover our connections with our Higher Selves and be the ultimate creators of our own lives.

 

Will holistic healing threaten my religious beliefs?

Not at all. Holistic healing is never meant to threaten or influence you to change your existing religious belief systems. It unites individuals by one common factor which is that we all have a mind/body/soul and we all feel through our experiences. We help you to understand the true purpose of life which is to go through all experiences with love. This very idea is spoken about in all religions.

Holistic healing ,rooted deeply in spirituality, empowers the individual to discover the divinity within himself.
