\"holistic1\"<\/a>What is\u00a0holism and why is it so important?<\/p>\n

\u2018Holism\u2019 is a philosophy as described by Aristotle \u2013 \u201cThe whole is more than the sum of its parts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The term was first used by the Jan Smuts in his 1926 book, Holism and Evolution<\/em>. Smuts defined \u2018holism\u2019 as \u201cThe tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts through creative evolution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>In medicine, to be \u2018holistic\u2019 is to treat the whole person taking into account all the relevant mental, emotional and social factors, instead of just treating physical symptoms.

The Power of Goodness<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"philoposters\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of confusion in the world and darkness. Business and media powers are still trying to prevent the expansion of light and true understanding, sending out mixed messages and continual promotion of corporate products.<\/p>\n

We must be educated and warriors of light to fight through the darkness around us and\u00a0find our truth.<\/p>\n

Let us all welcome in the new age of enlightenment. The promise of the Age of Aquarius is that humanity will unite in love.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s up to you to to open a portal in your life that gives you conscious access to the Unmanifested.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0~ Eckhart Tolle<\/p>\n
