Sickness or afflictions have been attributed to misdeeds that an individual has performed in the past, as well as merits and fortunes to meritorious works. Sin and suffering are related through a universal system of cause and effect, called Karma. Karma is said to affect the quality of our relationships. For example, people who either love or hate each other tend to attract each other (See also Parabadha Karma). Karma dictates that an individual is responsible for both his current and future situation. Current abilities, talents and inclinat ...

Self-healing: An approach to health, or process that typically involves using affirmations, prayer, and/or visualization techniques to tap one's innate healing potential or vital force. Its states that anyone who does not have congenital or hereditary defects, has not had exposure to damaging radiation, has not ingested alcohol or other drugs excessively, has a nourishing diet, and genuinely wants to enjoy good health, can do so because each of his or her basic systems is perfect.

Hopper's Bookstore in Hopkinsville where Cayce worked for many years as a young man specialised in occult and osteopathic works and he may have consciously or otherwise absorbed much of this material. However, knowledge of this material cannot account for most of Cayce's specific diagnoses, such as directing that osteopathic adjustments be given to a developmentally-delayed and seizure-ridden child named Aime Dietrich. She was restored to normal health by Cayce-directed treatments af ...

TARA APPROACH

Developed by Dr. Stephanie Mines, the TARA Approach is a holistic system for the critical transformation of psychological, physical, and emotional shock and trauma.

Combining the ancient oriental healing art of Jin Shin with therapeutic dialogues, this approach activates healing from sexual abuse, battering relationships, abusive family environments, neglect, and illness.

Skeptics of Cayce's claimed powers point out that the evidence for Cayce mostly comes in the form of anecdotes and testimonials, neither of which is considered scientifically rigorous. They are also irritated by Cayce's support for various forms of alternative medicine, which they tend to regard as quackery. Cayce's followers accept that he was sometimes inaccurate, and occasionally totally wrong. Cayce's sons, Hugh Lynn Cayce and Edgar Evans Cayce, even co-authored a book called The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power detailin ...

Healing: As opposed to “curing” of a disease, healing is seen as a return to wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Healing may or may not include a cure; its focus is restoring balance. Healing can be physical (disease), emotional (relationships), and spiritual (a realignment with one’s true nature).

An academic analysis of Men's Health's editorial approach in the context of the social construction of masculinity found that "while giving abundant health advice, [it] does so in a way that reproduces a type of hegemonic masculinity associated not with health but with a variety of negative health behaviors." (Stibbe 2004) A typical example Stibbe highlights as linking "masculinity, muscle, sex, meat, and alcohol" is this extract from December 2000: "Meat has big advantages over all other foods: It packs muscle-building p ...

Mesmer's patron the Marquis de Puysegur was able to "magnetize" an illiterate shepherd named Victor, who then spoke with a vastly greater intelligence. The career of nineteenth-century American seer Andrew Jackson Davis also has many points in common with Cayce's. "Medical clairvoyance" was apparently a familiar category from the Spiritualist movement. The origin of Cayce's trance activity is very similar to that of Davis sixty years earlier. In recent years Elder Porphyrios of Mount Athos was reported to possess a kind of clairvoyance which he called "spirit ...

The Trager® Approach

is a subtle, rhythmic, non-invasive neuro-muscular integration, developed by Milton Trager, MD. A practitioner guides the client in gentle movement facilitating effortlessness. These repetitive, non-intrusive motions tap into the body/mind's memory of feeling easy and pain free. The movement can be done while the client is fully clothed and standing, sitting, or lying on a table.
