When diagnosed by a doctor, individuals are given the collective term Fibromyalgia to describe their chronic pain and fatigue symptoms. Such symptoms often cause decreased quality of life and are usually associated with other common Fibromyalgia related issues such as unrecuperative sleep, depression, fibrofog (mental fuzziness), weight gain, and irritable bowel-like complaints. Since there is no current universal test for Fibromyalgia, diagnosis of the chronic conditional only takes place after all other options are exhausted. In this way, multiple examinations and avenues of testing are followed to ensure that these health problems are not caused by other conditions such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, or cancer.
A Holistic View of Fibromyalgia
Conversely, holistic practitioners tend to see all ill health (physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual) as a sign that the body system is imbalanced. Labels such as Fibromyalgia or cancer are really unnecessary. Moreover, all imbalances, even those of chronic conditions, are seen as reversible. The key to healing this disparity is finding the root cause or causes of the imbalance so that these blockages, issues, past traumas, or emotions can be released and in essence healed. Thus, the key to good health is listening to the body for clues to potential problems.
Whole Health Therapy for Fibromyalgia
Whole Health Therapy for Fibromyalgia is a holistic therapy that specializes in what is commonly referred to as Fibromyalgia. From the holistic point of view, this condition is composed of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dis-ease. The exact cause or causes of these imbalances is unique to each Fibromyalgia sufferer, for instance, childhood drama, socialization issues, or unhealthy primary relationships. Nonetheless, it would seem that the pain and emotion of these incidents is kept deeply buried where it festers at the physical level creating pain, fatigue, and a host of other symptoms commonly associated with Fibromyalgia. Simultaneously, these experiences adversely affect the psyche creating individuals with perfectionist tendencies, damaged self images, and an inability to negotiate healthy personal boundaries.
For this reason, holistic treatment of Fibromyalgia seeks to address not only the physical complaints but also looks to heal the initial wound and retrain healthier ways of being. Whole Health Therapy was specifically designed for this purpose. This unique therapy combines Reiki for Fibromyalgia and transpersonal resources to bring all aspects of the system back into equilibrium while guiding the individual towards self understanding and healthy self care. In doing so, this tailored program moves from symptom management through core healing to healthy self care.
