WHAT IS HEALING?
• Experiencing self-regulation
• A process of self-organization
• Activating internal healing
mechanisms
• Feeling at peace
• Feeling “whole”/connected to
something greater
Interference with self-regulation is central to the
vast majority of health and social problems that
plague modern society.

Health and Disease
Allopathic Model: Health is the absence of a definable
disease
Ayurvedic Model: Disease is the absence of vibrant
health
In 1948, WHO defined health as a “state of complete physical,
mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity”

• HOLISTIC—BODY/MIND/SPIRIT
• SYSTEMS BIOLOGY—addresses the whole body
• PERSONALIZED—DOSHAS-what is right for one person, may not be right for another; allows predictions of health
• PREVENTIVE/CREATES HEALTH--by treating the root cause
• PARTICIPATORY/MAINTAIN HEALTH BY DAILY LIFESTYLE PRACTICES—health is our natural state and the system is always trying to achieve homeostasis/balance

Humans as a System

• EVERYTHING IS A SYSTEM—from the macrocosm to the microcosm
• Humans are an intelligent system which senses and adapts to its
environment/experiences

Our health cannot be separated from what we
eat, what we do and what we think
“What we think, we become” --Buddha

In sum, we report that gratitude and spiritual wellbeing are related to better mood and sleep, less fatigue, and more self-
efficacy, and that gratitude fully or partially mediates the beneficial effects of spiritual wellbeing on these endpoints. Efforts to
increase gratitude may be a treatment for improving wellbeing in HF patients’ lives and be of potential clinical value.

Healing Through Nature—Grounding
The quickest way to align with nature
Research has generated evidence that connecting with the
Earth can:
•Reduce inflammation
•Lower stress levels
•Improve muscle and joint pain
•Boost mood
•Promote a healthy immune system
•Improve sleep
Being connected to the Earth gives us access to the negative
charge (electrons) that exists on the surface of the Earth
![Page 35: Chopra Coach Certification Module 1 to...6 Health and Disease Allopathic Model: Health is the absence of a definable disease Ayurvedic Model: Disease is the absence of vibrant health](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051902/5ff1e1d436de3a6c96008d91/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Grounding promotes stress reduction as observed through modulation of central
nervous system pathways (HRV) and also modulates inflammatory markers
demonstrated by increase after one week of not grounding

AYURVEDIC DEFINITION OF DISEASE
39
THREE SOURCES OF DISEASE/DISCONNECT
1. Physical imbalance
2. Emotional turbulence (mind)
3. Spiritual disconnect
Treatment is individualized and with the understanding
that everything is connected (the body is a system); goal
is to re-establish wholeness.

Each of us is born with the gift of
healing. We can help ourselves to
heal and we can help each other to
heal. We just need to be made aware
of this gift and learn how to use it.
