Our psyche’s well-being is a vital aspect of our lives; its imbalance can affect not just the way we see and experience the world, but it can also affect us physically, which deteriorates our quality of life.
Transcendental Counseling holds that a person’s health is not limited solely to their physical body, but also involves emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. It considers that each individual is a complete an interconnected system, and that all areas of his life interact and influence each other.
Many times, when we face an adversity, an illness or ailment, we focus solely on the problem, or on treating the symptom without considering the root of the problem or the underlying causes. Although addressing symptoms alone may result in temporary or partial solutions, identifying the real cause of the problem or illness, allows us to address the roots and stop putting band-aids, instead we can start the healing process.
Transcendental Counseling states that by taking a holistic approach we can understand the interconnectedness between different aspects of our lives and how they influence our health. The importance of this approach is that it allows us to find lasting solutions and promote significant changes in our lifestyle. By recognizing the connections between mind, body and emotions, we come to understand how stress, negative thought patterns, toxic relationships of any kind and repressed emotions can affect not only our psyche but our physical health as well. Identifying and addressing these aspects gives us opportunity to heal at a deeper level and improve our quality of life.
A fundamental aspect for the real cause of the ailment is to recognize the numerous interactions between the mind and the body, identifying these interactions become key to our wellbeing. By identifying them, a personalized treatment can be implemented instead of using a general methodology. Every person is unique and what works for one may not work for another; taking the time to identify the root causes makes it possible to tailor treatment strategies to individual needs, this maximizes the chances of success and optimizes long term health outcomes — each human being gets to live and embrace their personal transformation in a unique and wonderful way which must be respected.
Once the actual root of the problem or illness is identified, lifestyle changes are implemented. These changes may include a combination of talk therapy, spiritual search or shadow work, improvements in diet, stablishing healthy routines, learning to be patient with oneself by taking things one step at a time, self-care, building positive meaningful relationships and adopting stress management techniques. By making these adjustments, we are not only healing our psyche, but strengthening our immune system, reducing the incidence of disease and promoting a greater sense of overall well-being.
Through Transcendental Counseling, we are taking the holistic approach, which means we are addressing ourselves as a whole. By taking this approach, we are empowering ourselves to take charge of our own health and well-being, transforming our lives in positive ways.
