What Holistic Means to Me

I was recently asked my definition of "holistic".  I had not given the answer the respect it deserved at the time I was asked the question.  To me, being holistic begins with working on our personal wholeness as a priority.  Each of us in the holistic community strives to become whole as a person, while in some way making the world a better place.  

Living authentically with congruence between our work and personal lives allows us to move toward wholeness as a person.  Being authentic, to me, is about embracing the truth of how our gifts and talents can best serve the world.  Having an awareness of when our egos come into play creates an atmosphere of knowing that we have opportunities to heal ourselves.

We were all conceived in wholeness.  Those of us who choose to have purposeful intentions of moving toward wholeness again know that we can do so.  Processing deep and painful negative emotions is not for the faint-hearted.  You must trust the person you choose to work with as you are guided to heal.

We can be vulnerable when we choose to surround ourselves with those who allow themselves to be vulnerable in their own journeys of personal growth.  It's important to have a level of trust as we work on our deepest issues.  It's not that we are looking for perfection, rather that we search for other people who try their best to have pure intentions.

I believe we all have access to Universal Wholeness.  I also believe that Universal Wholeness is available to us at all times.  "Ask and Receive", to me, is about knowing we are worthy and deserving of connecting a power greater than ourselves.  Of course, we all need to be accountable, ask forgiveness and make amends for our mistakes.  

No one is perfect.  We all make mistakes, and our best is based on where we are in the moment of time we are taking action.  As we learn and grow, striving toward personal wholeness while connecting to Universal Wholeness allows us to resonate with our highest possibilities.  That is a life worth living!

Have a great day!
