The Multidimensional Body

Given that the health-illness pair depends on four factors: biological, mind-body, energetic, and spiritual, then there are always several ways to improve the condition in which we find ourselves. In view of these factors, we conclude that the human being is a multidimensional being, a factor that conventional medicine sometimes fails to take into account. However, this approach to the concrete is necessary for the physical anatomy to be studied and analyzed. But sometimes treating a pathology is not enough to achieve wellness.

The PhD Thesis in Medical Sciences from the Medical School of the University of Brasilia present in this link also served to support the writing of this text.

We move towards treating a person, in all its dimensions and not only the pathology in the physical body. Treat the symptom but focus on the cause, so that the symptom disappears or is progressively lessened. We then bring a conscious and integrative approach, without fanaticism or overlapping, simply a universal approach to the human being.

So let’s briefly introduce what each factor consists of:

Biological factor – usually used in the West due to the great evolution of conventional science, here it is considered that the disease has its origin in the malfunctioning of our systems, organs, etc., originating from genetic factors, bacteria, viruses, and inadequate life habits. The generally applied solution aims at allopathic therapies and surgical interventions.

Mind-Body Factor – contribution of the mind and emotions to physical health and illness. After studying and proving this contribution (ADER 2005), the human being is now considered a culmination of 3 aspects: biological (organism), psychic (mind, behavior, and reactions to emotions), and social (social context and interpersonal relationships). Thus, psychosomatic medicine emerged, with theoretical foundations in psychoneuroendocrineimmunology, analyzing the human being’s adaptation systems, the immune system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system.

Energetic factor – already considered in traditional Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Egyptian, Islamic, and Jewish medicine, among others, they consider the disease to be an imbalance in the energetic flow due to external and internal factors, as well as improper lifestyles. The restoration of a healthy state is achieved by rebalancing energy, through massage, herbs, acupuncture, meditation, and complementary/integrative therapies. This subtle energy has received various names, such as Prana (Indian origin), Ch’i (Chinese origin), Ki (Japanese origin), universal fluid (Mesmer), Biomagnetism (Warr), Mana (Hawaiian origin).

Spiritual factor – studies have proven that regular spiritual development practices are associated with up to a 25% reduction in mortality and an increase in average life expectancy of up to 7 years, benefits equivalent to not smoking. Other benefits include reduced frequency of depression, reduced high blood pressure, reduced chemical dependency, increased resilience in the face of adversity, and improved physical condition.

Pranic Healing then becomes aware of this multidimensionality of each person, acting alongside conventional medicine (without replacing it) accelerating the recovery process, while guiding the person to change the pattern, raising consciousness and giving another perspective so that the cause of the pathology is resolved.
