Mind, Body and Spirit

line.png

As humans, we are comprised of mind, body and spirit. These elements together interact to create a free flow of energy, allowing us to be our best selves in each realm. However, at times we are prone to experiencing obstacles that stand in the way of our wholeness, as we face the conditions of our modern society that can be inhibitive to living in the light. Guiding Light Holistic Wellness helps clients to pinpoint the unique blockages they may be experiencing, then develops a comprehensive wellness program to target the release of these emotional and physical burdens to overall elevate well-being across mind, body and spirit.

MIND

Emotional and mental healing from a holistic healing perspective is all about restoring balance and well-being in your psyche, which can take on a variety of different forms. Whether you want to shift to more positive emotional states, adopt a more consistent sense of peace, or develop healthier, more expansive thinking patterns, the objective is to address both your emotions and your thoughts. Our minds are the mental and emotional aspects of ourselves. They processes thoughts, ideas, feelings and emotions. The mind is consciousness, memory, and imagination.

BODY

From a holistic perspective, health isn’t merely the absence of disease or symptoms; it is a state of optimal wellbeing, vitality, and wholeness. As body and mind are connected, each thought sets off a cascade of cellular reactions in our nervous system that influence the body. Our cells are constantly observing our thoughts and are changed by them. Bodies are the physical aspect of the human form. Amazingly, they consist of nearly 50 trillion cells that communicate to form tissues, nerves, bones and organs. The body speaks in the language of matter, atoms, particles, and molecules.

SPIRIT

A well-nourished spirit is a great preventive measure for many illnesses. It is the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character. A spirit lies within all of us, yet the ability to connect to our spirit requires abandonment of preconceived notions with which we have been programmed in order to connect to something greater than ourselves. It is in the search for spirit that the things that connect us to a deeper space within ourselves - health, peace, time, silence, touch, relationships - are called into the light, helping us achieve a sense of happiness and well-being.

An optimum balance amongst all three is created when every day includes healthy eating, engaging in physical activity, restful sleep, quieting the mind through meditation, releasing emotional toxins, and of course laughing at least once/day.

Holistic Medicine

Holistic medicine is an intersection of both the art and science of healing, and addresses the whole being – mind, body and spirit. As a certified Holistic Therapist, Elaine helps lead each individual client’s guiding light into focus, nurturing each patient as a whole rather than regarding their suffering as a condition or illness to be treated. As the symbiotic relationship between the three elements of the being interact, clients are often surprised at what a bit of attention to one aspect can similarly draw out of the others. With a variety of conventional and alternative therapies within her arsenal, Elaine is dedicated to healing the root of the problem, until a free flow of energy is achieved.

I would love to invite you to join me on this journey towards holistic healing that brings strength and peace to mind, body and soul.

“In my short time working with Elaine, I have been so pleased with the results I'm seeing. Elaine's approach to mindful movement has been incredibly helpful to me as I recover from back surgery. Elaine has an uncanny ability to zero in on exactly what kind of exercise or treatment is needed, and help to heal ailments or flare-ups before they become problematic. Elaine's combination of yoga, pilates and breathing exercises have played an integral role in my recovery, and I highly recommend making an appointment if you're looking to either heal from an injury, or simply remain healthy and improve how you feel on a day to day basis.”
