Every living being is not merely a physical entity but also an amalgamation of energy. You vibrate at a certain frequency, which ties into your physical and mental state of health and how you experience the self and the world. Similarly, your brain is wired in specific ways that become an external and internal compass to navigate with. Whether you look through the lens of Eastern or Western philosophies, age-old belief systems or contemporary inquiry, honouring the interconnectedness between various aspects of your being - from the spine and nervous system to your energy field and neural circuits - may be the key for deep healing.
Bridging the gap
In the Indian tradition, the ancient philosophy of Samkhya translates from Sanskrit as "enumeration, empirical, rational, numbered", yet can be thought of as "embodied". It asks: How do the subtlest elements of the forces of nature come together into an embodied form? Essentially, Samkhya is a fundamental foundation for spiritual traditions such as yoga, and also of science, carrying at its heart the search to define truth and reality.
On the other hand, the advancements in modern understanding of the human body and brain have resulted in leaps and bounds in evidence-based research. Before diving into an exploration of approaching healing where science and spirit collide, it is important to note that it is possible to understand the body in ways that the scientific intellect is yet to comprehend. At the same time, scientific developments - especially in the areas of the nervous system and neuroscience - are clearly elucidating and explaining truths in previously thought-of "mystical" ideas from traditional modalities and philosophies through an empirical understanding. Bridging the gap allows for a holistic approach to healing.
