Astrology, Prakriti Therapy ( Naturopathy ) & Holistic

Medicine

In the Holistic Model, the cause of any disease is

understood in terms of the whole person and not in terms of

a particular organ or tissue. As Sir William Osler put it,

it is more import to know the patient who has the disease

than the disease of the patient. The one person who knows

about the patient more than anybody else is the patient

himself. Peter and Elizabeth Allbright in Body Mind &

Spirit state that " responsibility for healthcare rests in

the patient's hands because that is where the knowledge &

control of the variables lie (

diet,stress,exercise,genetics,emotion,medication) ". " Food

is medicine; Medicine is food " said Hippocrates and

Upanishads declare that " Food is Brahman. Food was verily

born before all creatures: therefore it is called the

medicine for all". By stating that food is the panacea for

all ills and illnesses the Upanishads have formulated one

of the foundational principles of holistic health. At least

half the diseases & ailments of man can be traced directly

or indirectly to the problems of food. Diet control is the

basic principle of Naturopathy. Nature is the Doctor and

natural foods can cure ailments. Nature & Naturopathy are

ruled by Jupiter, the planet of Wisdom. In India Jyotish,

Ayurveda, Prakriti Therapy are all interrelated disciplines

and part of esoterica. Astrology can bring tranquillity to

the patient by showing him how the cohesive forces of

Destiny operate. The patient can achieve what Keats called

the Negative Capability - a stoic indifference to pleasure

and pain.

To bear all naked truths, That envisage Circumstance, all

calm That is the top of sovereignty.

By accepting the divine decrees of Fate the patient can feel

the inner calmness and achieve an altered state ( EEG brain

waves at 8.5 cycles per second - alpha state ). In this

altered state natural healing chemicals called endorphins

are secreted into the blood system and healing takes place

naturally.

Astrology , Yoga & Pranic Healing

Yoga was defined by Aurobindo as a methodic process towards

self-perfection through a development of the latent

potential at the five levels of Being - physical, vital,

mental, intellectual & spiritual. Astrology by studying the

heavenly archetype can show how this latent potential of

the human being can be unfolded. Jupiter & Mercury rules

over intellectual development, Moon mental, Mars physical,

Venus vital & Saturn spiritual.

The basic principle of Pranic Healing is healing through

the Universal Life-Force Energy known as the Cosmic Prana.

Knowledge of the psychosomatic machine,regulation of food,

sleep & exercise making the physical sheath healthy &

removing all mental blocks and opening all channels to the

Cosmic Prana are some of the major seven steps in Pranic

Therapy.
